Case Study: Track It Forward achieves scalable tracking of 100,000+ volunteer hours with Pantheon

Tracking 100,000+ Volunteer Hours on a Scalable Platform

Track It Forward (formerly OurVolts) is a volunteer-hours tracking platform founded in 2009 by James McBryan and Anca Mosoiu that helps organizations log and reward community service. As the site grew—now tracking over two million hours total and more than 100,000 hours per month—its original hosting and self-managed servers couldn’t scale and required significant weekly maintenance, threatening growth and taking time away from product development.

McBryan migrated Track It Forward to Pantheon for a seamless, zero-downtime move and now outsources systems engineering to the platform. Pantheon’s managed hosting and Git-backed workflow eliminated server maintenance, reduced ops costs, improved speed and support, and enabled the team to run 20+ sites and confidently take on much larger clients while reliably handling 100,000+ volunteer hours each month.
