Happy New Year,
I am brainstorming how to setup a national nonprofit with several locations around the country. The national headquarters will need 10-15 chapters to report data such as client enrollment, services, and program indicators met on a monthly bases.
Option 1: Setup a base for each chapter (Decentralized) and then create interfaces for a person at HQ to pull reports.
Option 2: Setup one HQ base (Centralized) and then several tables for each chapter for data reporting. Admins at each chapter will have update permission for their tables in the base.
Option 3: Setup HQ base and then automate process that will import excel or csv files from local chapters into HQ base for tracking/reporting.
If anyone has experience in this area , I would greatly appreciate any feedback as to which process could provide the least friction. Also if there is a better option, please feel free to make a recommendation.
Thanks a million!
