Case Study: Audio Reading Service achieves 24/7 programming efficiency with Teamup Calendar

Audio Reading Service Provides 24/7 Programming with Teamup

The Audio Reading Service, a department of a public library, faced a significant challenge in managing the complex and fluid schedules of its 150 volunteers who produce 24/7 programming. Using whiteboards to coordinate time-off requests, substitute readers, and studio bookings was inefficient and prone to errors. To solve this, they implemented a scheduling calendar from Teamup.

By using Teamup's calendar, the organization created a centralized, color-coded system that is displayed on a large screen and accessible to all volunteers via web and mobile apps. The solution from Teamup eliminated the need for constant emails and phone calls, provided always up-to-date information, and significantly streamlined operations. This led to a dramatic reduction in last-minute pleas for substitute readers and made scheduling far more efficient for both staff and volunteers.
