Case Study: HerFarm boosts volunteer bookings and streamlines operations with Checkfront

Voluntourism With Scott Maclennan of Mountain Volunteer

HerFarm, a project of Scott Maclennan’s Mountain Volunteer, needed to modernize and scale its voluntourism bookings — replacing slow, manual coordination with in-country partners, ad hoc email replies, and cumbersome scheduling. To solve this, they adopted Checkfront’s online booking system to automate reservations, consultations, capacity limits, and communications.

By using Checkfront, Maclennan set partner capacities, enabled online scheduling and instant booking notifications, and automated most coordination tasks. Checkfront’s system sped up response times (prospective volunteers cited faster replies as the reason they booked), increased the conversion of website visitors to registered volunteers, and saved the organization significant administrative time while simplifying volunteer planning.
