Geofencing Auto-Sign In

Volunteers with the app automatically get hour adjustment suggestions when they arrive and leave events. Forgot to clock in? The system detects they were there and suggests adding their hours. No more manual tracking or “I forgot to sign in” conversations. Hours flow directly into your reports.

Handles Forgot-to-Sign-Up
Even if they forgot to register for a shift, system catches it
Manual Override

One-of-a-kind in the space. No other volunteer platform has geofencing built in. Food banks, shelters, and regular programs use this to eliminate “I forgot to clock in” problems entirely.

Geocoded Entry & Parking

Pin exact entry and parking locations with photos and descriptions. Volunteers see where to park, where to enter, and who to ask for. No more confused phone calls at 6am asking “Where do I go?”

Parking Photos
Upload images of parking areas so volunteers know what to look for
Entry Points
Pin the exact door or entrance on a map with directions
Contact Info
“Ask for Sarah at the red tent” – give volunteers confidence
Map Integration
Geocoded locations work with GPS navigation

Built from real experience. We coordinated festivals and realized confused volunteers waste 15 minutes of their shift just finding where to park. This solves it.
