Empowering Charities Through Technology.

Learn how we developed a charity app that simplifies DBS checks, volunteer coordination, and all round administration.

Charity App Case Study

The Brief:

The charity was using spreadsheets to manage their operations but needed a solution that was more data compliant, especially since they worked extensively with children. Ensuring data protection and compliance was a top priority. Additionally, they sought a more efficient way to handle DBS checks for volunteers. 🛡️

The charity needed a platform that could streamline their processes, enhance data security, and provide a seamless experience for both their team and volunteers. They envisioned a system that could handle everything from volunteer registration to compliance checks, all in one place.

With these goals in mind, they approached us to develop a custom solution that would not only meet their current needs but also scale with their future growth. 🚀

The Challenges:

DBS checks are inherently complicated and represent a significant area of compliance risk. The charity needed a system that could manage these checks efficiently while ensuring full compliance with data protection regulations. 📋

Additionally, the charity required a solution that could automate the collection of references for volunteers working with children, further enhancing their compliance and operational efficiency.

The challenge was to create a system that not only addressed these compliance needs but also integrated seamlessly with their existing processes. 🏗️

The Solution:

We developed a custom web application that included an online DBS form to collect all necessary information online and submit it for review. This feature streamlined the DBS check process, reducing manual errors and ensuring compliance. 🔍

Additionally, we created an automatic referencing system that facilitated the collection of references for volunteers working with children. This system automated a previously manual process, saving time and reducing the risk of non-compliance.

The platform was designed to enhance data security and compliance, providing the charity with peace of mind and the ability to focus on their mission. 🔒

The Outcome:

The custom platform saved the charity thousands of hours through automation, allowing them to allocate resources more effectively. Data compliance improved by magnitudes, ensuring the charity met all necessary regulations. 📈

With the new system in place, the charity was able to run more events than ever before, as their systems were no longer the blockers they once were. The project was a great success, and HiTide continues to provide support to this day. 🎉

We are proud to have been part of this journey and look forward to supporting the charity's future growth and success. 🌟
