With publications, research, and advisory services, the Smart Electric Power Alliance (SEPA) helps its 1,100+ members – a number of which are major utilities companies – understand the trajectory of renewable energy. In addition, SEPA hosts a number of events for its members each year and SEPA’s expert staff makes sure it all runs smoothly. Once known as the Solar Electric Power Association, a changing industry lead SEPA to expand their focus on energy storage, demand response, electric vehicles, renewable technologies and more. SEPA evolved into the Smart Electric Power Alliance. And they needed a membership management solution that would evolve with them.

The Challange

In addition to the inability to scale and customize, SEPA’s legacy solution made it challenging to glean real-time insight from data. Most staff members were unable to run their own reports, which hindered marketing, goal tracking, and user adoption. Among the staff, only about 20% logged into the system, which left many licenses untouched.

The solution quickly became not only unwieldy, but very expensive. It was important to SEPA that they select a solution that was easy for staff to use, and empowered them to achieve organizational goals.

Five years ago, when SEPA restructured their membership offerings in their old system, they had to outsource the work to the tune of almost $20,000. With Fonteva, SEPA accomplished the task in house in only four hours.

The Bottom Line

Fonteva has given SEPA the robust, cloud-based member management solution they were looking for – for marketing, eCommerce, mobile, and events. Along with powerful reporting dashboards and ease of use, SEPA is also seeing significant cost savings and a clear return on their investment with Fonteva.
