Since 1866, founded on the principle of neighbors helping neighbors, Brooklyn Community Services (BCS) has worked in neighborhoods impacted by systemic poverty. With 40 programs in more than 25 locations, managing the data behind that work became a web of disparate data tracking systems and technical limitations.
When BCS needed a new system to streamline their data, Apricot from Social Solutions was the platform they chose to house all their information in one place. Read the case study to learn how Apricot saves BCS 5-10 hours a week on data management, improves internal communication, and simplifies monitoring participant progress.
“Across all of BCS’s 40-plus programs, we probably use every feature available in Apricot – we use every part of it. And if there’s a feature that we don’t use, I might get excited and figure out a way to use it,” says Stephen Crano, Data Management Analyst at BCS.
