💪🏻 At bantu, we’re focused on building the best and easiest to use volunteer management software out there, supporting brilliant volunteer managers through more effective volunteer management and engagement.

What does that mean for you? That we’re constantly innovating and improving our product so that you never miss out on an opportunity to connect with your volunteers 🗣

Over the past few months, we’ve been working hard to improve our product for you!

Here’s what’s new in Workspace:

1) A new, more intuitive, navigation layout

Our newly designed project cards — showing you a summary of the project in a single glance
Redesigned Project Creation process inspired by our users

2) Newly launched “Rostering” module helps you to match and schedule volunteers

All your scheduling and skills matching needs in one place

3) Schedule recurring projects in bulk, for lightning speed creation of projects đź“…

Selecting between a “weekly” & “monthly” project
Set up recurring projects easily with high level of customisability — yoohoo!

4) Specify volunteer commitment needed, setting expectations right from the start

Toggling between “Regular” & “Adhoc” specifies commitment needed for your project
Volunteer can see the commitment required when signing up for your project

5) Use “Duplicate” for more effective setting up of projects and roles

To set up a project even more effectively without needing to create projects or roles from scratch, we’ve added a new “duplicate” feature so that you can easily make a copy of an existing project or role with a single click of a button. All these so you can spend more time engaging your volunteers instead ;)

6) Newly launched Form Builder helps you customise the information needed from volunteers

Drag & drop fields you want, as simple as that–tadah!

Here’s a limited time offer for you to try our product free for 90 days ;)
