Logifem provides shelter and care to women and children in Montreal. Logifem’s mission is to help and empower women in difficulty with physical, social, emotional, psychological and spiritual needs to face the future with strength, courage, hope and dignity.

The main challenge this nonprofit was facing was the absence of a central command center, which was resulting in substantial time effort from various staff members. Shelter management was paper-based, making it challenging to collaborate and track resident intervention and follow-up activities. Their Access database used for client management was developed many years ago, proved challenging to maintain and was no longer operational. Without a robust platform, it was time-consuming and difficult to generate government grant applications and perform reporting.

We solved this puzzle by implementing the following:

• The standard donations, fundraising, and volunteer modules from Salesforce NPSP
• A custom developed module for managing the shelter (client files, maintenance activities, usage, etc.)
• A custom developed module for managing human resources (employee profiles, timesheet tracking)
• A full integration with CanadaHelps, Mailchimp

As a result of our magic Logifem now has a central command center that enables standardized processes and has led to dynamic results. Less manual tasks, more time to focus on their mission.
