Integration Experience.

Do you need to integrate your volunteer management system with something else to create a best of breed system? We’re your team! Whether it’s a background check system, or a donor, human resources, or student database, we’re what you need. Need to connect with single sign-on, social media, digital signature, medical records, a learning management system, or other volunteer recruitment system? How about a phone app, a Windows app or something else? Odds are we’ve already done it. Want to do the integration yourself? We offer a fully documented SOAP/XML web-services API with example code.

Here’s a sampling of the protocols we’ve worked with and integrations we’ve done:
