Harvest Thanksgiving and Bazaar is one of the most important programs which takes place every year where members of the Catholic Church Thank God for al the blessing and graces enjoyed for the Year. Harvest and Bazaar usually involves a lot of activities, many of which are carried out manually.
This process consumes more and more time yearly and extends the duration of mass making the entire experience something many Catholics frown upon, many go beyond frowning to not attending mass or attending masses in other parishes who are currently not harvesting.
Apart from this problem is also a need to reduce the amount of unredeemed pledges and increase redemption rate to over 90%. Reduce the time, effort and energy spent by the committees manually trying to record, analyze, optimize and store data. There s serious need to automate the process for efficiency and seamlessness for both a Parish and Parishioners.
