FPC Centralises Operations with Finance and Events Management System
Client Overview
The Fresh Produce Consortium (FPC) is the UK’s leading trade association for the fresh produce industry, providing support, events services to its members. To enhance their event management and streamline administrative processes, FPC needed a unified system that could efficiently handle memberships, finance and event bookings while providing a seamless experience for both users and staff. They engaged PSP to develop a custom finance and events management solution using our VISION platform, fully integrated with their website to centralise their operations.
Challenge
FPC’s previous event and finance management processes were manual and fragmented, making it difficult to manage member data and track event bookings efficiently. When users applied for industry awards or registered for events, their information had to be entered manually into separate systems, leading to duplicate records, data inconsistencies and a time-consuming administrative burden. FPC required a modern solution that could automatically capture user data, link it to their internal CRM and streamline their event and membership management processes. The new system needed to provide an improved user journey, reduce manual intervention and deliver a more cohesive digital experience.
Solution
PSP implemented a tailored finance and events management system built on our VISION platform, designed specifically to meet FPC’s requirements. The solution was integrated directly with FPC’s existing website, creating a seamless bridge between the front-end user experience and back-end CRM operations. This integration meant that when users applied for awards, booked tickets for an event, or registered their interest in other FPC activities through the website, their details were automatically captured and populated in the CRM. This eliminated the need for manual data entry, ensuring accuracy and consistency across all records.
The new system also centralised FPC’s financial operations, enabling the organisation to manage invoices, payments and membership renewals from a single platform. Our team worked closely with FPC to map out each process, ensuring that the system aligned with their business workflows and provided real-time visibility into all events and financial activities. By linking the VISION platform with their website, we provided FPC with an integrated dashboard that allowed them to track user engagement, monitor event attendance and access financial data in one place, streamlining their day-to-day operations significantly.
Results
The implementation of the finance and events management system transformed FPC’s operational efficiency and improved the overall user experience. Automating data capture from the website to the back-end CRM saved on manual data entry time and reduced the risk of errors and data duplication. Staff now have real-time access to accurate and up-to-date information on event registrations, award applications and financial transactions, allowing them to provide a higher level of service to members and event attendees. The integration has also created a smoother and more intuitive journey for users, as they can now register for events and apply for awards in a single, unified process.
By centralising all financial and event management activities, FPC gained greater control over their operations and improved their ability to analyse user engagement and member interactions. The new system has not only streamlined internal processes but also positioned FPC to scale their operations more effectively as their membership and event portfolio continue to grow.
Conclusion
PSP’s development of a finance and events management system using our VISION platform provided FPC with a powerful, integrated solution that centralised their operations and enhanced the user journey. The seamless integration between their website and CRM has eliminated manual processes, improved data accuracy and allowed FPC to deliver a more cohesive and engaging experience for their members and event participants. This project demonstrates PSP’s ability to deliver customised solutions that drive operational efficiency and support long-term organisational growth.
