Case Study: Ryder Cup streamlines volunteer scheduling and communication with Get Scheduled

Ryder Cup - Customer Case Study

The Ryder Cup, a major international golf tournament, faced the challenge of managing over 2,000 volunteers for its 2014 event with only a small administrative team. They required a solution to streamline the processes of volunteer selection, deployment, and communication. The vendor Get Scheduled provided its workforce management application to meet this challenge.

Get Scheduled's solution provided an online portal for volunteers and comprehensive management tools for the administration team. This allowed for efficient collection of volunteer data, scheduling, and mass communication via email and SMS. The results enabled the small team to effectively coordinate the large volunteer workforce, simplifying tasks like calculating uniform and meal orders and monitoring on-site attendance.
