Reduce overhead
When you’re managing funds for multiple projects or groups, it's easy to get overwhelmed by complex spreadsheets and countless email threads. Open Collective automates budget tracking, reporting, expense processing, and payments, making your job a lot easier.
Increase capacity
Open Collective makes it possible for you to offer more services to more projects in less time. Large numbers of transactions won’t overwhelm you, because the platform automates most of the work, and also collects any fund holding fees you set.
A better experience
Reporting is automatic and real-time, so everyone can see the up to date budget at any time. Projects can have more direct control over their funds, while fiscal sponsors can ensure everything is done according to their policies.
