Case Study: Surf Life Saving Australia achieves 160 hours/month time savings and 25% fewer accidents with Connecteam

Connecteam Employee App Saves Time & Money for “Surf Life Saving” Nonprofit Organization

Surf Life Saving Australia, a nonprofit that protects beach communities, faced chaotic volunteer rostering, excessive paperwork, inconsistent training and fragmented communication across many sites. Community Education Manager Pia Harpour turned to the Connecteam Employee App to replace pen-and-paper schedules, scattered messages and printed training materials with a single mobile platform.

Connecteam implemented digital scheduling with real-time availability, an in-app work chat, a mobile knowledge base, digital workflows and a single exportable timesheet tied to payroll. Using Connecteam, the organization saved about 160 hours per month on scheduling, reduced accidents by 25%, consolidated dozens of timesheets into one exportable file, and cut driving and admin time (about five hours/week), streamlining onboarding, time tracking and safety compliance.
