Castro & Co. was retained by a Colorado based nonprofit providing community services and food support to over 10,000 individuals per year. With a growing staff and increased program offerings, they needed to streamline and organize their program data. After working with Castro & Co, they now accurately report the number of individuals they help within any given time frame, providing easy to find data that is specific to each program and service to monitor and analyze trends. This information is absolutely vital for future funding requests and allows them to plan for continued growth. With Castro & Co, they now have a tried and tested process and SaaS system for staff to enter, manage and review their metrics in real-time.
We’re currently booking packages for the 2nd quarter of 2024.
Doing a Deep Dive in Dataville means our team can only help a limited number of clients each quarter.
“Before, I was very afraid of a CRM and felt overwhelmed in contemplating one. Now, after working with Castro & Co, I feel less stressed, confident in my decision about my CRM choice, and have clear steps to take moving forward as I begin to implement and use my CRM.
Castro & Co has helped me to learn the language of a CRM when it is never one that I have spoken before and was avoiding learning anything about. Hilary's expertise and guidance in this process have been immensely helpful. She knows what questions to ask about the purpose of the CRM and is a great resource for thinking about the future of my business' use of a CRM and not just my business today. Castro & Co thought of things that I did not and reminded me about future usages of this system that I forgot about.
She knows her stuff, and I am so glad that she is offering this service to small to medium sized businesses like mine. I look forward to using her on a regular basis in the future for consultation!”
~ Jenny Reynolds, Graceful Guidance Care Management

SaaS refers to “Software as a Service”, but what does that really mean? Google it and you will find lots of variations of this definition - simply stated, any software that you access through the internet and has web-based storage that links you to the same interface and information regardless of the device you use to log in to the software, you aren’t required to download a file to run these programs.
Examples: Calendly, Google Workspace, Hubspot etc
At Castro & Co, we are fun, bold, smart and sometimes a little “sass-y” when it comes to navigating all the complexities of the SaaS tools our clients use.
