We work with many NPOs of all sectors and sizes. Our experts have helped thousands of clients take the digital leap to improve the efficiency of their processes and their operational model, relying on the full power of Yapla.

In this article, we share several examples of achievements and support from our professional services of which we are particularly proud.
 

The Operation Red Nose is a well-known organization that offers a free and confidential escort service to anyone who does not feel able to drive their vehicle safely. In 2018, the organization called on Yapla's expertise to accelerate its technological transition. The primary objective was to facilitate the work of coordinators spread across the country. By using Yapla's Data functionality, our team was able to automate and simplify the management of their business procedures, resulting in an improvement in their operational performance.

Secondly, in partnership with the agency Riposte, Yapla's experts synergized their strategic analysis, web design, and web development skills to create a new website for the organization. Using Yapla's CMS, the latest available technologies were used to integrate an effective geolocation system, allowing easy communication with local stations in order to obtain a ride. Thanks to this fruitful collaboration, Operation Red Nose was able to improve the efficiency of its service by facilitating access to information about the driving service to  its clientele.

After the launch of the new Operation Red Nose website, Yapla's professional team was tasked with synchronizing the dates and times of availability of the driving service in various regions of Canada. To meet this need, we developed an API that allows the Operation Red Nose mobile application to receive real-time information entered in Yapla by various managers.

 

 

Why your non-profit organization should be accompanied by our professional services team?

1. Accelerate the setup and onboarding of Yapla

When using a new technology or software, there is a learning curve. This is particularly true when using a powerful system like Yapla. In effect, if no one on the team already knows the platform, someone will have to take the time to learn it.

The advantage of being accompanied by our experts is that they quickly understand the needs of your organization thanks to their years of experience. They can then start configuring the platform to meet your needs.

Our goal? To offer you the best possible Yapla configuration according to your needs and allow you to become 100% autonomous in its use.

Ultimately, with the support of our team, you:

• save a lot of time in setting up Yapla,
• accelerate the software learning phase,
• ensure that knowledge is shared with the right people on the team.

It is for all these good reasons that health and wellness organizations rely on Yapla to grow.

The main challenge faced by non-profit organizations such as the Federation of Kinesiologists of Quebec or the Alberta Kinesiology Association is the volume and diversity of membership types that need to be managed. Additionally, as a medical professional association, one of their missions is to offer professional training to their members in order to obtain certifications.

To provide an optimal response to the needs of these health organizations, Yapla's professional services team mobilized and used its various skills and expertise  in synergy. Together, we took the time to dissect their issues in order to develop and implement an effective management system.

Thanks to process automation, Yapla allows health organizations to manage  large volumes of registrations for continuing education and ensure effective follow-up. Registration processes for activities and training are user-friendly and intuitive.
 

 

 

2. Enjoy Quality Support Over Time

With our professional services, you benefit from continuing  support for your projects. Whether you are just starting your digital journey with  Yapla or you are  a long-standing client, we are by your side to provide the appropriate expertise for your nonprofit organization and help you achieve your goals over time.

After launching the new website for the Operation Red Nose, Yapla's professional team was tasked with synchronizing the dates and availability times for the transportation service in different regions of Canada. To meet this need, we developed an API that allows the Opération Nez Rouge mobile application to receive real-time information entered in Yapla by various managers.

 

"We are very proud to contribute to the success of Opération Nez Rouge. We met the challenging task of adapting our solution to the organization's specific needs. Given that Opération Nez Rouge is traditionally in high demand during the month of December, particularly on certain evenings, we also made sure to offer high availability of the website at all times."

The Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) is a great example. As a non profit that brings together dozens of English-speaking organizations across Quebec, the QCGN needed to implement a custom, centralized, all-in-one management system.
They called on Yapla's expertise for the first time this year and chose to implement :

• Membership workflows to more easily manage the membership campaigns of members (organizations and individuals),
• Personalized member spaces on the website to offer a better service to their members,
• Several event page templates to better promote events, and especially event registrations,
• Creation of newsletter campaigns that assist the organization's communication strategy.

Designed for NPOs, Yapla enables organizations that call upon our team to configure and manage their platform independently. Organizations can easily evolve the structure of their management tool. They can also continue to be accompanied for future projects.
