It is easy to search for the information I need. > > **Cons**: There have been a few things that have been hard to do find to edit. > > It has really helped me keep better track of campaigns and LYBUNTs. Mailing is a lot easier now as well. It has automated several things that have helped me spend more time working on what matters. ----- ### "Great customer support" — 5.0/5 > **Kristan** | *14 February 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Trail Blazer customer service is amazing. As a very small non-profit, we use Trail Blazer differently than most of their larger clients. They've worked hand in hand with us to really tailor some of the functions to what we need to work efficiently. > > **Cons**: Occasionally, it's not readily apparent or user intuitive how to do something. But again, once I've gotten direction or assistance from the support desk, it's smooth sailing. > > Overall, I'm very happy with the Trail Blazer experience. ----- ### "Best Customer Service" — 5.0/5 > **Shelly** | *24 October 2024* | Philanthropy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Excellent customer support - from a timeliness and issue resolution standpoint. They also offer excellent training and online tutorials. > > **Cons**: I don't really have any complaints. Customizing reports for repetitive use can be challenging but that's mitigated by the excellent customer service ----- ### "We love TrailBlazer" — 5.0/5 > **Dustin** | *23 March 2022* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It tracks all of our income, relationships, churches/volunteers… everything. It has literally been the best single expense that we have spent over the past 10 years\! Especially considering that we were using Excel sheets beforehand. It saves us SO much time, the cost is inexpensive, and the amount of time it has saved is well worth the cost which is much lower than the other alternatives we've looked at. It's been worth every penny. It easily pays for itself in time saved alone. Easy to use, and great customer service. If I could wave a wand and make one move to help the state, it would be to provide this to every chapter. It provides accountability with QuickBooks and has many huge capabilities. Unlike other systems that we've looked into, they have excellent customer support included without extra cost. The web app is also wonderful. I can pull up information on the fly. If I meet a volunteer and they are curious on how much their church is giving, I can get an answer within a minute through the app. It also tracks relationships I have, like: which volunteer serves at which club, when they were processed, what training they have, what church they go to, etc all connected. So, I can pull lists of everyone involved from a church, or all the volunteers from a club, etc. I can also see who has made a pledge, find who my top givers are, see how long it's been since people have given, find which events certain people have attended and given at and which ones haven't. > > **Cons**: Any system you go with has a learning curve. There is a learning curve here too. It requires some logical thinking to use well. You tell it what you want and it pulls the information. You can immediately get to work once you know the basics but as you learn new ways to us it, soon you'll become much more efficient. Email is also a con. It uses html formating. Other services have an easier drop and type interface, templates, and pictures ready to speed up the process. This one requires a little more work. But once you have templates built, it works fine... AND the trailblazer staff will help you build a template if desired. Plus there are great help article and videos to walk you through everything you may want. They have also made some great improvements recently in this area too. > > We have been using Trailblazer since 2014. It tracks all of our income, relationships, churches/volunteers… everything.

Revenue/expenses reports. > > **Cons**: Biggest complaint is the automatic overloading of donor records when a person purchases multiply tickets. Example: A parent purchases 5 tickets for their family to attend a program/event. TrailBlazer automatically creates 5 records for which only one person is recognized with an email and mailing address. This also promotes between three and four times the amount of records in the system (for which the organization is billed annually) when truly only one person's record is viable. Unfortunately this was not realized initially. Many hours have been spent and continue to be spent merging family records to have accurate records in the system. Develop of campaign mailings was initially difficult to manage. Media specialist was engaged that integrated a program to allow for the ease of developing campaigns for email distribution. Originally TB automatically marked a new record as allowable to receive emails (donor choice). A change was implemented in TB around two years ago that eliminated that function. We manage registration records daily by checking them as allowable. The donor then has a choice of "unsubscribing" after receiving their first email. TB is probably best as a vote tracking software where adults are registered per household and multiply non-usable records are not created. > > Assistance with developing campaign templates. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/422562/trail-blazer?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/422562/trail-blazer) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
