Key differences between Synetech and the commodity caging companies.

There are plenty of donation processors out there. But only Synetech brings the right combination of in-depth experience, unique technology, timely completion, personal service, and attention to detail. Synetech's system features such as electronic depositing can help save you money. Our broad experience serving a variety of organizations and processing millions of contributions brings you the proven results you need. And our hands on attitude and easy to understand pricing saves you time and headache.

Leading edge, specialized technology

What does no other caging vendor have? Image Cash Letter.

Our Image Cash Letter service can provide a substantial reduction in both depositing costs and time to clear for check receipts. Plus, it can even make your bank reconciliation easier as well! Also, while some vendors are just getting into imaging, Synetech has been imaging contribution data since 1999 and have had images available online since 2002.

Technology geared towards your needs

Synetech has had to operate in a heavily regulated environment and are required to maintain clean and well integrated data.

Additionally, several of our custom technologies such as our Upload Engine have proven crucial to our clients’ success in the past; we don’t know of another vendor that could successfully aggregate contribution data from dozens of vendors in hundreds of formats into one integrated database in a way that is transparent and seamless to the client.

A smaller, friendlier shop

As a small shop, we pride ourselves on personal service and easy to understand blanket pricing.

We won’t charge you for every fax or phone call. Unlike some of the competition, we won’t ignore a contribution if it comes back with no remittance document or the person on the check does not match the finder record found from the remittance. At Synetech, we don’t key contributor details exclusively from finder files; we actually look at the remittance and check documents and make sure the donor details are correct. We make corrections to name, address, employer, and occupation where warranted, and respect the donors wishes for eliminating future mailings and not exchanging their names. Additionally, we can flag each transaction with compliance flags such as whether the contribution is signed on behalf, whether the payee is missing, whether the legal and courtesy amount disagrees, and more.

Efficient data entry and depositing

We recognize that timely data entry and depositing are of paramount importance to your organization.

In our agreements we can offer guaranteed time to deposit and time to report for the direct mail processing flows. Additionally, Synetech's Image Cash Letter can seriously minimize the costs and time to clear for your deposits. And our Image Cash Letter service is proven – handling tens of millions of dollars in deposits for a major campaign in 2008.

Attention to compliance and audit detail

Working in the political processing business, we pay particular attention to compliance and audit requirements.

Political campaigns operate under strict regulatory guidelines imposed by the Federal Election Commission that require monthly reporting and accurate donor de-duping. Additionally, Presidential candidates seeking federal matching funds operate under further scrutiny including a mandatory audit involving the production of each receipt record and the corresponding data and images. For these types of organizations, data integrity and audit trail is of the highest importance. Our tools such as the donation website can assist both the client and the auditors with these types of requirements.
