The DIFFERENCE!
The major advantage of BluePearl is the wide spectrum of functionality it provides in contrast to other products in the market. It brings together most of the functions a not-for-profit organization would require in one package. While current products concentrate on specific functionalities such as accounting, donor management or mail tracking, BluePearl integrates these in one application to present an end-to-end solution.
