Non-profits and cooperatives
Automation for cooperatives, foundations and associations
You do the same administrative work as a company, often with fewer people and a tighter budget. Member records, loans and contributions, donor and regulator reports, and the same member questions every day are still handled on spreadsheets and paper forms. We start with one practical workflow that a board can approve in a single meeting.
In short
Data Reach Solutions (DRS) is a Philippine AI, automation and software company, founded in 2019, with offices in Metro Manila and Cebu. For non-profits and cooperatives, DRS designs, builds and runs: member records and self-service; loan and application processing; regulatory and donor reporting; contributions and dues collection; document processing; knowledge assistant. Each system connects to what the business already uses, such as cooperative and member management systems, accounting software, spreadsheets and shared drives, Facebook Messenger and SMS, and a person stays in control of every decision that matters.

Illustrative example
A credit cooperative with 6,000 members
The cooperative processes 250 loan applications a month with 12 office staff, and each application takes about 90 minutes of checking, re-keying and chasing. Document reading and completeness checks cut that to about 45 minutes, and members get decisions sooner. Quarterly regulatory and board reporting that took two staff five working days drops to one day. All figures are illustrative. We replace them with your own numbers in the consultation.
- Loan applications a month
- 250
- Minutes per application
- 90 down to 45
- Staff hours released
- About 190 a month
- Reporting hours released
- About 64 a quarter
