Programme staff spend time compiling notes before anyone can review the work.
Define a consistent activity record and review process.Volunteers do not know the next step.
Availability is collected, but the role, coordinator or briefing is unclear.
Connect registration to a named assignment owner.02 / TURN FIELD NOTES INTO REVIEWABLE RECORDS
An activity completed.
A clearer update for the team.
Capture the programme reference, activity summary and required evidence in an agreed format. Give the coordinator a clear review queue instead of another set of messages to assemble.
Custom workflow illustration. Reporting fields, access and any offline requirements are defined during scoping.

07 / BEFORE WE BEGIN
Questions from non-profit teams.
Can we begin with donor and volunteer records?
Yes. We can scope an initial phase around relationship records, registration and follow-up before expanding to programme reporting.
Will programme forms match our reporting format?
We review the fields, definitions and approval steps you need before building the agreed forms and reports.
Can different roles have different access?
Access is configured around the selected apps and agreed responsibilities. We test the role model with representative users before launch.
Can we keep our existing donation platform?
We assess its supported exports and APIs, then define which records need to connect and which system owns them.
Are financial and donor reporting requirements included automatically?
No. Specific accounting, receipt and reporting requirements need to be defined in scope and reviewed by the responsible team before configuration.
