Every organisation reaches a breaking point when they rely too heavily on spreadsheets to manage the details of their constituents, beneficiaries or participants.
Using a spreadsheet to track the people you work with on each project is okay as long as you’re only working with a small number of people across a single project or service. But as soon as you start to grow, things get complicated quickly. For example when you:
increase the number of people you help
increase the number of projects, programs or services that people can participate in
increase the number of staff or volunteers who are involved in doing the work
If you’ve ever faced any of the following problems, it’s time to stop using spreadsheets to track your participants:
You’ve lost valuable hours in admin time because you need to Copy & Paste people’s details between different spreadsheets as each project and manager has their own spreadsheet
You’ve reported over—inflated numbers due to ‘Double Counting’ because you don’t have an easy way to see how many unique individuals your organisation has worked with
You have a low level of confidence in your organisation’s ability to keep track of people because it’s very easy to accidentally delete a row in the spreadsheet which contains a person’s details
Now there’s a simpler way to see the people who benefit from your services
Profile Pages on Makerble are a user-friendly way to store information about everyone you work with and they’re specifically designed to handle the multiple project relationships that each person could have.
