Bike Works | Revamping Bike Works Volunteer Tracking Workflow

Bike Works is a non-profit that offers community-focused bike maintenance services. One service is a bike repair class, which students can pay for via “work-trade” by committing volunteer hours instead of paying money. The current system used to track these hours requires excessive manual entry because it lacks a centralized database platform and automation capabilities. To address this issue, we simplified the record keeping process for “work-trade” tracking using two no-code platforms called Softr and Airtable. This allows Bike Works staff to put more time into services that will benefit their local community.
