Webconnex Hits 100 Million Dollars in Online Transactions

Sacramento based Software Company Helps Customers Reach $100M

Webconnex, LLC based in Sacramento, California surpassed 100 million dollars in customer volume this month. Webconnex is a small firm that makes unique software products for event registration and online fundraising. Webconnex top products include: RedPodium race registration, TicketSpice online ticketing, GivingFuel online fundraising, and RegFox online registration. Each product specializes in the needs of a unique market niche.

Founded in 2008, Webconnex turned four years old this summer. In a short time, many of their products have become industry leaders being used by companies such as RedBull, The Salvation Army, The GAP, Toyota, Fleet Feet, American Red Cross, Disney, Focus on the Family, Transworld Media, Food for the Hungry and thousands of other organizations.

Unlike many technology companies today, Webconnex is a privately owned self-funded software company which has two founders: Eric Knopf in Sacramento, CA and John Russell in Newport Beach, CA.

Their vision was to create simple and affordable solutions that would allow any person to register or donate in less than a minute. The Webconnex management team prefers to break from conventional wisdom when it comes to technology, features, pricing and customer service. They have been successful in creating products that drive sales for the clients who use them.

Eric Knopf, Co-Founder of Webconnex says “From day one, Webconnex has been focused on solutions that help others generate and keep more money. Our customers consistently tell us that our technology is the simplest to use and has helped them exceed their event or fundraising goals. It’s common to hear of events and non-profits raising more money than they ever have before – even during this recession.”

Webconnex says their payment conversion rates are the highest in the industry because they understand what it’s like to be in the shoes of an attendee or donor. Co-founder John Russell explains, “We spend a lot of time understanding the trends, desires and pain points of the average person. Not only is the product easy for an organization to manage, it is even simpler to use as a consumer.”

Webconnex maintains a small team of 9 employees while serving over 2500 customers nationwide. Russell continues, “Reaching $100M in customer processing is very exciting because we have done things very differently and we think it’s paid off. Everyone on our team loves what they do and we can’t wait until we celebrate a billion dollars in online transactions!”

Webconnex, a company created by two guys from different backgrounds who have built a set of web technology tools to help individuals and organizations simplify the way people register and donate.

In August of 2008, Eric decided to develop a donation manager for one of his clients searching for for a good “off the shelf solution" to process donations online minus all the custom development or worry about the security issues or upgrades.

Within 6 weeks, a simple interface with minimal features was created which turned out to perform exceptionally well for the client. John and Eric met up and took a look at the simple manager seeing huge potential in it for the events industry. After several hours at Starbucks, the decision was made to make enhancements to this little manager to facilitate event registrations.

John remembers “It was like an in-house solution for ticketing, registration, volunteer management, and exhibitor registration”

Webconnex LLC was born a few weeks later, signing on a few private clients to test and provide feedback. During the first 12 months, a hundred beta clients processed several million dollars. The customer feedback was tremendous and a long list of enhancements and features slowly began to take shape.

After a couple years and millions of dollars in customer volume later, Webconnex introduced individual product names for each of its product niches with GivingFuel, RedPodium, RegFox, TicketSpice and GroupRev each given their own brand and website.

While Webconnex is still young and growing, the focus and mission is to build powerful, yet intuitive, web applications. We create affordable, user-friendly products backed by industry standard customer service. This business strategy has allowed Webconnex to draw significant numbers of new clientele while minimizing reliance on expensive marketing and sales campaigns.
