Case Study: One Education scales to deliver 50,000 laptops to disadvantaged students with Salesforce for Nonprofits

Charity Laptops Reach the Schools where they’re Most Needed

One Education, a spin‑off of One Laptop Per Child, provides low‑cost XO‑duo laptops and learning programs to disadvantaged Australian students. When the Australian government contracted them to deliver 50,000 devices — a tenfold increase over prior deliveries — their patchwork of systems for applications, asset tracking, training and finance proved too costly and unscalable.

By moving to Salesforce Sales Cloud as a single cloud platform, One Education automated eligibility checks (using federal demographic data), prefilled sign‑up forms and linked device, training and financial workflows. The website now verifies school eligibility in seconds and cut sign‑up time from 30 minutes to under 2, while training, asset tracking and contact sync run through the same system — enabling the organization to scale confidently to the 50,000‑device program and save significant time and money.
