Driving efficiency and accessibility: Transforming volunteer transportation with salesforce
The client is a leading non-profit organization dedicated to supporting individuals with mobility challenges by providing volunteer-based transportation services. Their mission is to ensure every individual has access to essential resources, healthcare, and community engagement opportunities.
The organization faced major inefficiencies in managing volunteer drivers and transportation requests. Scheduling was time-consuming, and there was no centralized system for tracking requests. Volunteers lacked real-time communication tools, leading to delays and missed pickups. They needed a solution to automate scheduling, streamline coordination, and enhance overall efficiency.
We implemented Salesforce to automate volunteer scheduling, optimize route planning, and enable real-time tracking of transportation requests. A centralized dashboard provided coordinators with full visibility into ongoing operations, and mobile communication tools improved volunteer-driver connectivity.
Coordinators manually assigned volunteers, leading to inefficiencies and scheduling conflicts.
There was no centralized system to track transportation requests, volunteer availability, and completed trips.
Volunteers and coordinators relied on calls and emails, causing delays in response time.
Without real-time data, it was difficult to optimize routes, leading to increased travel times and missed pickups.
