Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 50 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers find the software to be a fantastic and comprehensive tool, making volunteer management much easier and more efficient. They appreciate its user-friendly interface, high customizability, and the robust tools it provides for daily work, including scheduling, communication, and tracking volunteer activities. The platform helps organizations recruit and manage volunteers effectively, centralizing hours, schedules, roles, and reporting, which saves time and empowers volunteers. Many users also highlight the excellent support and continuous improvements, along with convenient features like the online chat function and helpful user groups. However, some people mentioned that certain features are rudimentary or limited, such as the restricted use of merge tags and issues with handling group volunteering hours. There were also concerns about the lack of automated shift notifications and design flaws with feedback fields, which can make the feature nearly useless for tailored questions. A few other people also felt that the app was not as easy to navigate as other volunteer apps and wished for an administrative app for quick changes.

Thank you Leslie! We're so glad to hear that the platform has been a helpful tool in managing your volunteer crew for events.

This has been a night and day difference!

This has been a night and day difference from the pen and paper method of keeping track of volunteer hours we had been using, with all the "fun" of trying to accurately record hours and work locations for everyone! Moving to a new process, while having the potential for change issues at every turn, was surprisingly smooth for the vast majority of users and administrators. Once we demonstrated how intuitively the flow of recording each person's work location and number of hours for each shift, and the understanding how important it is for the accurate recording of same for each volunteer, the use and overall approach to the system became probably one of the best received and quickest adopted systems we have in our organization! From someone who has seen their share of programs, process changes, systems training, and several new adoption trainings for staff groups from 10 to 1000, this ranks in my top five and I couldn't recommend it more!

Thank you, Ted! Your feedback means a lot—especially coming from someone with such extensive experience in systems and training. We're thrilled that the shift from pen and paper to Better Impact was smooth and well-received, and it’s an honor to be counted among your top five systems!

Support is excellent; software intuitive

Support is excellent! I've had several occasions to request support in my 8 years as an administrator. Each time, customer service reps were responsive and each issue was quickly resolved.
Additionally, the ease with which I'm able to run reports and email volunteers is so helpful in managing the volunteers.

Software saves us time!

The software has cut down in a great deal of administrative busy work by allowing our volunteers to update their own contact information, to sign up for shifts they can make and eliminates our staff from managing lists in multiple spreadsheets. The ability to send out emails and have multiple admins see that communication also saves plenty of overhead time.

An invaluable tool for volunteer coordination

Better Impact is an invaluable tool when coordinating large numbers of volunteers who undertake differing roles. It allows scheduling of and communicating with volunteers easy and the reporting functions allow us to show the value of our work. There are lots of customisable options so it means you can really make it work for you.

It meets our needs with its flexibility and functionality—without the high cost or extensive administrative resources required by other volunteer management systems. While it works well for its intended purpose, enabling better communication between volunteers would add even more value. The support team is phenomenal—always quick, helpful, and friendly."

User-friendly, Easily learned platform

We utilize this platform for our volunteers and employees. It has been an instrumental tool to help us organize our volunteer requirements and schedules.

This system is user-friendly and can be learned quickly. Several of our volunteers are retirees who have an entry level understanding of computers. They are easily able to utilize the platform across all their devices - laptops, tablets and phones.

Control is in your hands

This is what it feels like to have full control in your hands.
Great software. Customizable. Easy.
I have explored several other options, but none match up to our needs like BI. I know I am not using it to its full potential, so I can only imagine how much better it can get and continue to get.
1000% Reccommended.

Good for coordinating multiple teams

I have really come to love using this program to help build our team's schedules and coordinate plans for our events. At first it took me a bit to work through how to use it, and I am sure there is more I can do, but overall it does a really good job.
