SAO PAULO, Brazil – October 22, 2024 – Crisis Management Group Parcerios Voluntarios, the Brazilian non-profit volunteer organization, today announced it has received substantial support from monday.com’s Emergency Response Team (mondayERT) and Worktables to further its operations. Parcerios Voluntarios, a non-governmental organization (NGO), credits mondayERT and Worktables with the agile humanitarian crisis management system that improved the organization’s efficiency in its response to catastrophic floods in Rio Grande do Sul in May of this year.
Parcerios Voluntarios was challenged to assign the donations of funds and relief items to those in need as the NGO lacked an efficient distribution and disaster management platform. In addition, its most pressing problem in managing emergencies was integrating information, which resulted in inefficient, duplicate efforts.
The NGO solved this challenge using the pro bono monday.com platform and Worktables dedicated support. mondayERT identified Worktables as a beneficial partner and implementer for the NGO thanks to its association with global NGOs. The monday.com platform, tailored by Worktables allowed for a more agile and streamlined aid management and distribution process that eliminated the need for lengthy email chains and duplication of efforts. As a result of this collaboration, the NGO’st disaster management team can now easily manage their response, generate and share situational and activity reports, and gain actionable insights, all in a transparent and accountable manner.
The collaboration was part of the partnership between mondayERT and the Worktables team who generously donated their time before and after regular working hours to assist Parcerios Voluntarios. These included Worktables executives Giovanni Pizzato, CTO, Eduardo Olivera, Team Lead, and Michael Cimo, CEO.
“The disaster in Brazil was unprecedented,” said Pizzato. “When mondayERT reached out to partner,s as the leader responsible for our Brazilian office, our team and I felt compelled to act and do whatever we could to help in such a dire situation. The answer was to use our toolset to link organizations and their needs. With the custom monday.com boards, teams can track requests, inventory, volunteers, items, and donations received, on a single spreadsheet. The aggregated data allows for efficient management to better facilitate and optimize projects. We reduced time to resources distribution by over 200%.”
Parcerios Voluntarios explained, “Our experience with Worktables was excellent. We received support for developing a comprehensive tool for managing specific crisis contingency projects, which had proven to be a major challenge until that moment. We received highly personalized service, with very quick responses after each contact. We also had the constant support of volunteers to customize the tool according to our specific management needs. The combined humanitarian efforts resulted in a high-quality product that has been adopted across our organization.”
“Our Emergency Response Team responds to disasters across the world and has extensive experience in Brazil,” said monday.comERT Team Lead Dana Yaari. “In the case of the Rio Grande do Sul floods, we were humbled to support several organizations with our platform, and thanks to the unwavering dedication and commitment of the Worktables team, Parceiros Voluntarios was able to streamline its operations, work effectively, and really- outdo their best. They are the real heroes here, and thanks to talented partners like Worktables, the impact of mondayERT’s digital aid is massively compounded.Not only did the team at Worktables contribute their time and effort during the disaster, it also created a templatized tool that every disaster response organization worldwide can use to organize and streamline their work. mondayERT is proud to add this to our suite of solutions, and look forward to our continued partnership in Brazil and globally.”
