Working together · Business Value
Concrete results – from church leadership to volunteer work.
Value is created not when the contract is signed, but rather every week that the parish actually uses the system. What ChurchDesk changes in everyday church life – viewed in terms of impact, role and effort.
Business value
Where ChurchDesk creates value in everyday church life.
Eight measurable outcomes – from the church leadership to the parish.
Faster adoption
Ready to use immediately instead of a 12-24 month project period.
Lower administrative burden
Standardised processes – less bureaucracy in the parish and administration.
Predictable costs
Flat rate instead of hidden follow-up costs.
Less IT complexity
Do not set up and operate your own software team.
Compliance included
Updates automatically follow changes in the law.
Ongoing innovation
New features without new procurement.
More time for pastoral care
Noticeable relief in full-time and voluntary work.
Less provider risk
Data export, liability and insurance are part of the contract.
Perspectives
A specific benefit for every role.
Six perspectives – from church leadership to volunteer work.
Church leadership & administration
Strategic control across all parishes, a reliable partner instead of a fragmented provider landscape – compliance guaranteed at management level.
IT management
EU hosting, SSO via Microsoft Entra ID, documented interfaces and auditable security – without having to set up your own software team.
Financial management
Flat-rate price instead of follow-up project costs, a predictable budget over the years and total costs significantly lower than building your own building – with contractually covered risk.
Pastoral care & parish leadership
Less administration, more time for people: an app for on the go, pastoral notes, appointments and communication in one place.
Municipal administration
Standardised processes instead of isolated solutions, automation of registrations, donations and intentions – with training and personal support.
Data protection & compliance
GDPR, DSG-EKD and KDG proven – not promised. AVV, TOMs and “declaration of submission” as standard.
Cost factors
Your cost benefits with ChurchDesk.
Six effort and cost drivers in comparison: a platform with a partner – or various systems that you orchestrate yourself.
| Expense drivers | With ChurchDesk | Other solutions |
|---|---|---|
| Coordination | One platform, one partner, one direct and dedicated contact person. | Various systems with integrations must be orchestrated by you yourself. |
| Training material | Training materials and media are continually updated by ChurchDesk. | Internal creation and maintenance of training material – with risk of errors and obsolescence. |
| Onboarding & know-how | Onboardings for new employees are permanently available. | Onboardings must be coordinated and coordinated with each provider individually. |
| Maintenance | Always up to date with the latest technology – ChurchDesk takes care of maintenance and system updates. | Upgrades to technical standards and maintenance must be synchronised themselves. |
| Product optimisation | The software is constantly improving: new functions appear regularly. | You have to initiate new developments yourself – as resource-intensive projects. |
| Support | We take care of the questions and challenges of all users. | Your own employees have to stay up to date in order to be able to help users. |
You can focus your staff capacity on core tasks – instead of on coordinating providers.
