Type

Progressive web app + admin portal

Used by

Volunteers, team leaders and event organisers

Runs on

Any phone, tablet or computer

Stable NQ runs large community events that rely on volunteers. VRS, their Volunteer Roster System, takes a volunteer from sign-up to sign-in: they register for the event, complete any inductions, choose the shifts and jobs that suit their skills, and check in when they arrive.

We first built VRS for Stable NQ in 2017 and have rebuilt it as they have grown. The current version is an installable web app for volunteers on top of a management portal for the organisers.

Features

• Event registration with a volunteer profile, photo and skills.
• Family accounts – register and roster dependants under the same login.
• Online inductions that volunteers read and confirm before they are rostered.
• Find shifts – volunteers browse open shifts and choose the ones that suit them.
• Jobs matched to skills so each shift is filled by people who can do the work.
• My roster showing every shift a volunteer is booked on, and its status.
• Sign-in on the night so organisers know who is on site.
• Areas, teams and leaders to organise volunteers across an event site.
• Shift types and volunteer limits with minimum and maximum numbers per job.
• Alerts and guides to keep volunteers informed before and during the event.
