Case Study: Red Cross improves coordination and project planning with Forecast by Accelo

Red Cross coordinates 60 volunteers with Accelo Forecast

The Netherlands Red Cross's 510 Team, a data and digital initiative, faced a major challenge in coordinating a large, fluctuating number of volunteers and staff across complex, budget-sensitive humanitarian projects. Their previous disconnected systems for project planning and time registration created inefficiencies, making it difficult to track work and invoice donors accurately. To manage these complex projects, they implemented Forecast from Accelo.

Accelo's Forecast platform provided a centralized solution that integrated project planning and time registration. This allowed the 510 Team to efficiently onboard and assign up to 60 volunteers for their COVID-19 response, improve team coordination, and gain a clear overview of all tasks and resources. The result was a significantly streamlined process that eliminated the need for excessive status meetings and enabled faster, more informed decision-making during critical humanitarian efforts.
