Case Study: The Trust for Public Land achieves 90% monthly employee engagement and stronger cross-office collaboration with Simpplr

The Trust for Public Land connects its employees with Simpplr

The Trust for Public Land, a national nonprofit with about 400 employees across 30 U.S. offices, faced a failing 15-year-old intranet that left staff reverting to inefficient email threads and blocked cross-office collaboration. After evaluating eight vendors, The Trust for Public Land selected Simpplr to replace the legacy system with an easy-to-use, Salesforce-integrated intranet (branded internally as Canopy) that would connect deskless employees, reduce IT dependency for content updates, and establish analytics-driven engagement baselines.

Simpplr delivered a ready‑to‑use intranet that let departments manage their own content and prioritized content architecture for faster adoption; social, threaded and searchable conversations helped rebuild institutional memory and cross‑geography connections. As a result of Simpplr’s implementation, Canopy now drives daily interaction—over 90% of employees log in monthly, 86% would recommend it to a colleague—and key organizational content and communications are centralized and up to date.
