Resources
"LKR is poised for rapid growth with plans to serve new geographies and students. The lack of a system for collecting and reporting on our program data was a barrier to expansion. The partner portal toolkit offered an ideal solution that provided an easy way to integrate with Salesforce and a flexible platform to support future growth."
Challenge
- Little Kids Rock (LKR) lacked an efficient system for collecting class and student data, tracking statistics, and communicating with teachers
- In the past, data was collected via paper forms and tracked on spreadsheets
- The organization couldn't analyze program statistics quickly enough, which impacted program management and fundraising activities
- The paper-based data collection system was a barrier to future growth
Solution
- Using Salesforce Partners, Little Kids Rock developed a custom Web portal for
its teachers that integrates with Salesforce information
- The custom portal also enables teachers to download curriculum updates
- Little Kids Rock was granted 200 Force.com API user licenses for its teachers by the Salesforce.com Foundation
Results
- Little Kids Rock now has access to its program statistics in real-time and is able to communicate with teachers more effectively
- This teacher portal is a flexible platform that is easy to customize and will support the organization's needs as LKR rapidly grows and expands into new markets
- The portal revolutionized the way that LKR manages its programs and increased its capacity to serve more teachers and students
