Stichting Jarige Job - Teamuitjes
In the Netherlands there are more than 100,000 children who cannot celebrate their birthday because there is simply no money for it. The Jarige Job Foundation helps these children by giving them a ‘birthday box’. This box contains everything needed for a real birthday at home and at their school.
Challenge
The Jarige Job foundation delivers far over 100.000 birthday boxes yearly to provide children in financially challenged families with everything they need for a real birthday. The foundation relies on donations and a great team of volunteers to fill these boxes. With a growing number of boxes to fill, the team of volunteers is not enough. Also, to expand affinity with the foundation, a box filling daytrip is offered as a teambuilding event. Many companies and organizations visit the Birthday Factory to help pack boxes. To arrange the logistics and communications of all these visits is a full time job.
Solution
The Teamuitjes App (Team Trips App). E-heroes developed an online application that offers an easy to use planner for organizations and companies to make reservations for their teambuilding event. Here you can plan your visit up to six months in advance, choose an optional meal from the preferred supplier caterers, and leave your information. After hitting the send button, an automated process starts with automatically generated e-mails and reminders. Because up to 23 people can visit at once, the system can combine groups and single volunteers to have an ultimate workforce.
