Konnectryx was honored to have the opportunity to donate its time and expertise in 2021 to The Stay Beautiful Foundation. This foundation is a nonprofit organization that provides beauty and wellness boxes each month to over 500 women (aka “beauties”) who have been affected by cancer. These “Beauty Boxes” contain donated health and wellness products from generous retailers like Milk Makeup, lululemon, and Vital Proteins. The Stay Beautiful Foundation assembles, packs, and ships these beauty boxes to the women in their community.
With the recent partnerships with brands like lululemon, Stay Beautiful quickly ramped up from 200 beauties to over 500 within just a few months. With this increase in demand, the limitations of their current fulfilment process became apparent. The foundation’s founder, Ashleigh Cortes, recognized their systems were not flexible enough to meet their needs, and their inventory system was too complex. These issues made fulfilment too labor intensive and time consuming for this small nonprofit.
When Ashleigh sought out help, ShipStation, an ecommerce shipping platform provider, donated software licenses to the foundation. To install and integrate the new shipping software with Stay Beautiful’s Salesforce CRM and existing tech stack, ShipStation connected Ashleigh with one of its trusted implementation partners, Konnectryx.
Within weeks, Konnectryx improved the efficiency of The Stay Beautiful Foundation’s entire organization by installing a comprehensive, cloud-based solution. This new solution improved almost every aspect of Stay Beautiful’s organization.
Highlights include:
- New Dashboard & Reporting system featuring real-time beauty box statuses
- All operational data now available to staff on-demand, from any device, anywhere in the world
- CRM integration allows for new client tracking and automated follow up
- Ability for staff to create automated tasks and reminders
- Ability to record client interactions from phone, email, or online
- Elimination of repetitive tasks with advanced automation workflows
With a unique combination of donated product licenses from ShipStation, and donated time and expertise from Konnectryx, The Stay Beautiful Foundation can keep up with increasing demand and deliver the gift of beauty to thousands of women fighting cancer around the world.
