The Situation:
Canada's largest Food Bank, part of an international charity organization, was grappling with several operational challenges. The organization's workforce consisted primarily of volunteers, which, while being a great asset, presented its unique set of challenges due to the transient nature of volunteer commitment. The Food Bank also struggled with the need for customized reporting, accurate tracking of deliveries, and warehouse organization. An effective, user-friendly solution was required to streamline these operational difficulties.
Technology Challenges:
The Food Bank's primary challenges revolved around the management of its volunteer workforce. Volunteers, with varying degrees of technical proficiency, required an application that was easy to use and required minimum training.

Another significant obstacle was organizing the warehouse in a way that allowed volunteers to easily locate and pick up food items with minimal guidance.
Furthermore, the Food Bank needed a solution for generating customized reports based on regional donations and gender demographics. Accurate tracking of deliveries to old homes and long-standing customers was another crucial requirement.
