34 Volunteer Software Testimonials

"I just had to write to tell you how much I’ve enjoyed working with you over the past 5 years since our organization started using the Volunteer Reporter. Volunteer Reporter has served our needs since day one and you have always been timely, knowledgeable, and the same voice on the other end of the phone each and every time I’ve had a question. I’m sure you know how important that is when you have a technical issue – that someone knows your organization’s history and is technically astute as well as personally great to deal with. I did not have to call very often (because Reporter is a good program!), but when I did I was always glad you were on the other end."

"Volunteer Software from Missoula, Montana has an excellent software package called The Volunteer Reporter. I have it and a number of other Minnesota projects are purchasing it. I love the Reporter! It runs through Windows and is very user friendly. Unlimited report capabilities, even Impact Statements. Try it."

"I purchased it when at another hospice and found it to be most successful so now I am at a different hospice and we have been fortunate to receive funding to get the same programme here."

"I’ve used Volunteer Reporter for nine years and I really like it. The technical assistance is great – quick response, polite people who are very patient. I was extremely impressed with their response to requests for changes/additions to the software. Spent a great deal of time making the decision of which software to purchase and I’ve always been satisfied with my choice."

"We have had Volunteer Reporter in our system now for about 4 months and are doing just fine. Their manual, downloaded from their demo disk, does a good job of helping you through the system. It was not clear from the initial demo disk that the manual was in the disk itself but we found it and downloaded it quickly. Calling Montana occasionally, we found them very helpful. We had another system before and while it was good as well, the Volunteer Reporter worked better for us. We are still learning, also, but with not too much pain. Have found the system more comprehensive that we needed but still really workable."

"I had to mention that the Volunteer Reporter has been a wonderful alternative to years of frustration with a software nightmare. Since we have been using the Reporter, tracking volunteers, reporting and so much more has become easy and effortless with a minimal amount of training. They have been very prompt in helping out with any questions or technical assistance one might have. I could not be more pleased and have now gotten the program for our satellite office as well. I looked at several other software programs over a two year period before deciding on this one. It is a very user friendly program. Again, I firmly endorse this program and for the first time in many years we are happy with our software!"

"We have been using Volunteer Reporter Software for at least 12 years and are satisfied customers! Our RSVP project is large, with over 1800 active volunteers and 150 worksites; we require a database that can handle this capacity—your product does this very well. Just this morning, our IT staff loaded the 6.0 version. Our three RSVP staff members are using it now. When I overheard Janice’s praise, I asked her to e-mail me so that I could forward to you. Thank you for continuing to provide an excellent product, plus offering outstanding customer support. We appreciate the annual updates, as they improve the database. Also a final comment—we are grateful that you have kept the pricing both fair and affordable."

"The new reporter software is very professional looking and I appreciate it. As a former, computer programmer, I truly appreciate the hard work and dedication that went into producing this update and without any bugs. How impressive! It will be wonderful to work with this software."

"I need to mention this to you as I was gone for two weeks after they installed our upgrade. I have now had a chance to work with it for a bit and need to let you know it is the BEST upgrade I have ever experienced. So much easier and smoother, thank you, thank you!"

"There is such great software. I absolutely love it. I’ve used lots of software and this is my favorite."

"We use Volunteer Reporter and have been extremely happy with the program and technical support. We have been using Volunteer Reporter for about 3 years now. All reports and statistics we generate with Reporter coincide with the needed documentation for reporting in grants, FSR’s, etc. Also, we are given regular upgrades, so the program is constantly improving itself. The support team has always been very friendly and helpful to resolve any problems. We also love that workstation managers can enter their own hours via our website using the Web Assistant feature in Reporter."

"The Volunteer Reporter is very user friendly and you can track just about anything you want to with it!"

"I just want to take a moment to tell you how much I appreciate the help I receive from the support desk. Your staff is undoubtedly the most helpful and pleasant support people I have ever worked with. Most “support” people are computer “geeks” that talk down to their clients; your folks definitely do not fall into that category. When I started in this position, I learned the Reporter by trial and error and your employees never made me feel “dumb”. Your staff has always been extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I just thought you should know."

"Since 1990 we’ve used the Reporter to be more productive creating job descriptions, matching volunteers with jobs using the skills bank, and tracking volunteer hours. Entry and report creation is straightforward and intuitive. This has allowed us to delegate the work from staff to volunteers with no loss of accuracy. I can’t imagine running a Volunteer Center or RSVP without it."

"Just to add to the already glowing reports on the RSVP Reporter Program, We have had this program for some time, and recently upgraded. It is a very useful program with many capabilities, modeled exclusively for RSVP and similar volunteer programs. It includes the main database, labels, hours, work stations and job sites, job site supervisors, time within the program, mileage and so on and so fourth. It is so versatile in reporting you can basically report on any facet of information you’ve entered in the computer. For instance, you want to know how many inactive volunteers have left for a certain reason, you can report down to a single detail. The program also covers ethnicity, transportation, multiple jobs and such. It’s not difficult to use, you can also secure it with a password, and maintain a very up to date catalogue of active volunteers. The latest version includes the entire ‘IMPACT’ five element gobbledygook, and has proven to be a necessary item in the office. Insofar as the profile of the RSVP projects, it’s as simple as pressing a few keys. The staff of Volunteer Software are polite, and wonderfully helpful. Look into it. It’s perfect for RSVP as well as any other volunteer based agency. I recommend the RSVP Reporter with my own personal ‘Thumbs Up’ to any RSVP program looking to move from cumbersome files and notebooks."
