Your offer following our conversation

In three weeks you will see what your supporters have been showing you all along.

The CDP Accelerator builds a working engagement layer on yawave with your data – recognise signals, understand interests, assess relevance, trigger the right approach – on one journey, live in the system. You decide about the roll-out only once you have seen the live proof.

No day rate, no open-ended effort. You pay for a result.

The starting point

The signals are there. The path to the right approach is broken.

Your supporters constantly show what moves them. Between CRM, website, newsletter and events, exactly that information gets lost.

Today

Five hurdles between the moment and the approach

  • Data sits in separate places. Donations in the CRM, clicks in the newsletter tool, visits in web analytics. A complete picture exists nowhere.
  • People are not consistently identifiable. The same person is anonymous on the website and known in the mailing. Identity breaks at the touchpoint.
  • Behaviour is not captured. Which project report was read and which topic actually resonates is recorded in no system.
  • Relevance is not recognised. Lots of data does not automatically reveal what moves this person right now. Selection replaces decision.
  • The reaction comes too late. By the time the next mailing is planned, approved and sent, the moment has passed.

Result: valuable moments are lost – despite a full CRM and plenty of channels.

With the accelerator

From the signal to the right approach

  • Recognise. Identity and behaviour are brought together across website, email, portal and event. Anonymous becomes known.
  • Understand. Behaviour is enriched with donation history, topics and preferences. A picture emerges instead of a guess.
  • Assess. Scores and signals show what counts for this person right now – measurable instead of by gut feeling.
  • Activate. The matching action runs through the right channel – in yawave or through your existing systems.
  • Learn. The reaction flows back into the profile. Every interaction makes the next one more relevant.

Result: one capability instead of many one-offs – reusable across journeys, channels and departments.

Your CRM stays the system of record. You decide about the roll-out only once you have seen, on your own data, how behaviour becomes relevance.

Self-check

Are you ready for relevance?

Five questions show whether the decisive capabilities are already in place. Answer honestly – the result stays on your device.

01
Recognise

Do you recognise individual supporters across website, email, portal and event?

02
Understand

Do you connect that behaviour with donation history, topics and preferences?

03
Assess

Do you automatically recognise which topic is most relevant right now for a person?

04
Activate

Can you trigger the matching reaction immediately through the right channel?

05
Steer it yourself

Can fundraising configure new journeys itself – without starting an IT project each time?

0 of 5 answered
Answer the five questions – you will immediately see where you stand.

Not yet a yes everywhere?

That is exactly where the potential lies – and exactly where the accelerator starts. Three weeks, one journey, your data.
Your result

This is what the engagement layer with your data looks like after three weeks

No standard demo with sample data. Your contacts, your behaviour, your content. Fundraising recognises itself immediately.

Next best action

Schematic preview. The logic follows the yawave standard: identity resolution, activity feed, interests, scores and signals plus a recommendation for the next action. Which data sources, content pages and channels are included is defined at the kick-off.

Your journey

From the first click to a recognised topic

A simple email track serves as the entry point. The value shows in what happens next: behaviour on your website is recognised, understood and translated into concrete topics. Transferable to any further journey.

Focus on behaviour and insight, not on campaign setup

Your data in it

Contacts, interactions, content

You provide (test) contact data in a directly importable format – CSV, Excel or a CRM export. We import, segment and link it to your content. No migration, no cleansing, but enough that nobody has to abstract during the live proof.

Max. 20,000 contacts in the PoC environment

Live proof and review

Result workshop with your team

After three weeks we show profiles, topics, scores and signals live in the system – with your data. Your team sees what behaviour reveals and decides on that basis about the next step. The environment stays available for three months.

Result: a working PoC with your data

The process

Three weeks, four stages, one live proof

A clear plan with little effort on your side. We provide the platform, the setup and the know-how – you provide the data, the content and access to the test track.

Preparation

Before the kick-off

You provide test contact data in the agreed format, access to website and test environment and a named contact. We set up the PoC environment and configure the data model.

Week 1

Setup and data

Kick-off: confirm goals and scope, finalise the journey, check access and data. We import the test contact data, implement the tracking track and check data quality.

Week 2

Context and intelligence

Contact and content data are linked, scores and signals calculated, the email track with three to four relevant pieces of content configured. In between, a short alignment on content and pages.

Behaviour understood

Testing and review

End-to-end test, results prepared, joint review session with your team. You check the results and decide about the next step.

Live proof
After 3 weeks

Live proof with your data

Individual behaviour visible, topics, scores and signals live, a clear basis for management and the board. The PoC environment stays available for three months.

Deliberately focused
Your result

A working PoC

yawave with your contacts, the tracking track, contact and content context, topics, scores and signals – plus the live proof and documented learnings for the roll-out.

Your security

Fixed price, fixed duration

The PoC licence for three months is included. Necessary fine-tuning within the agreed test track is part of the fixed price. No day rate, no open-ended effort, no obligation for the next phase.

Your benefit

Deciding on evidence instead of assumptions

You see on your own data what behaviour reveals – and what relevance is worth to you. The environment stays as the basis for the next step instead of starting from scratch. And your team has already seen it.

Why we can do this at a fixed price

The standard setup is a product

Provisioning, data model, import, tracking track and the basic configuration of contact and content context run in a standardised way at our end. We use senior expertise where it is indispensable: in defining the journey, in interpreting the data and in the review. That is what makes the price plannable – for you and for us.

What becomes possible afterwards

One capability instead of many one-offs

Integrated once and reusable across many journeys, channels and departments. What is built from scratch each time today then runs on a shared basis.

The decision after the proof: not the next one-off, but a shared data basis, a full view of behaviour and automated engagement – across all channels, with the CRM staying the system of record.

The scope

So that it works in three weeks

A fixed price only works with clear rules. Here is what we need from you, what is included, how we handle data and what is not part of the accelerator.

What we need from you
  • One business contact from fundraising or communications, reachable during the three weeks and present at kick-off, setup and live proof.
  • (Test) contact data in a directly importable format, for example CSV, Excel or an export from your CRM.
  • Three to four suitable email contents including a link to your website, in your look and feel.
  • Definition of the content pages to be tracked, for example five to ten relevant project or topic pages.
  • Access to the website or test environment to embed the tracking and personalisation snippet – independent of the CMS.
  • Occasional technical support, for example through your tag management. No development project.
What the service covers in detail
  • PoC environment: yawave environment for three months, based on the business licence, for a maximum of 20,000 contacts.
  • Journey: implementation of the defined accelerator journey, adjusted to your situation at the kick-off.
  • Data: import and segmentation of your test contact data, including a data quality check.
  • Tracking: setup of the email and web tracking track including capture of content interactions, in a scope appropriate for a PoC.
  • Contact and content context: linking of contact and content data, identity resolution from anonymous to known.
  • Intelligence: topics, scores and signals plus a recommendation for the next relevant action.
  • Live proof and result workshop: joint review session with your team and documented learnings for the roll-out.
  • Project management: preparation and follow-up, coordination, securing of appointments, presentation of results.
How we handle your data
  • Test data instead of production data. The accelerator runs on an extract or a pseudonymised data set – not on your production records.
  • Hosting in Switzerland or the EU. yawave is ISO 27001 audited and compliant with the Swiss DSG and the GDPR.
  • Data processing agreement. Signed before the data import, together with the definition of purpose, scope and deletion deadline.
  • Consent and preferences are part of the model. Supporters set topics and contact frequency themselves – which is also the cleanest data basis you can get.
  • Deletion on request. After the three months the PoC environment including the imported data is deleted if you do not continue.
  • Tracking only on the agreed test track. The snippet runs on the defined pages, not across your entire web presence.
What is not part of the accelerator
  • A productive full integration. The accelerator runs on a controlled test track, not in your production landscape.
  • A complete data migration. We work with the data you deliver and do not migrate.
  • Data cleansing and duplicate matching. Data quality stays as you deliver it.
  • Custom development. Organisation-specific development and individual interfaces are the subject of phases 2 and 3.
  • Additional journeys, data sources, channels or integrations. These are agreed separately.
  • Complex campaign logic, A/B tests and individual email design. The entry point is deliberately a simple email track.
  • An organisation-specific permission concept. Standard roles are used in the PoC.
  • Replacing your CRM. It stays the system of record and is not touched.

Basis: the yawave accelerator «Customer Data Intelligence & Activation», translated into the language and journeys of nonprofit organisations. Ambit Group AG is the official consulting and implementation partner of yawave and the contracting party for this offer. The fixed price covers the defined scope; necessary fine-tuning within the agreed test track is included.

The kick-off

Start small. Prove the impact.

Nothing binding happens here. We agree on a kick-off date, clarify the journey and the data – and only then does the clock start. Three weeks later you stand in front of your own live proof.

Arrange a kick-off date

Thirty minutes to align the journey, the data situation and the schedule. Directly with Christian, without a sales detour.

Preparation, around two weeks

You receive the list of required data, content and access. We set up the PoC environment in parallel so that week 1 starts productively.

Three weeks to the live proof

Once data and access are in place, the clock starts. After three weeks you decide, with the system in front of you, whether and how it continues.

Is included in the message to Christian when you send the enquiry by email.

An engagement layer does not convince on slides. It convinces the moment someone sees their own donor in the system – recognised across three touchpoints, with a topic nobody had entered anywhere. That is why we build the proof first.
