The Volgistics team is a group of dedicated volunteer
management and information technology professionals who enjoy helping volunteer
leaders achieve their missions through the use of technology.
Volgistics includes the team of professionals who develop and
support the system, as well as the facilities, equipment, and systems behind
the scenes.
Dedicated exclusively to volunteer information technology,
Volgistics evolved from Red Ridge Software Company, the maker of the popular
desktop software program VolunteerWorks. Used by more than 3,400
organizations on an estimated 11,000 personal computers worldwide,
VolunteerWorks provides powerful software tools for Microsoft Windows operating
systems. This heritage gives Volgistics a wealth of experience in the volunteer
sector, as well as the stability needed to make this new breed of online
service successful.

Volgistics is the product of twenty years experience
helping volunteer leaders use technology, including thousands of interactions
with volunteer coordinators and hundreds of excellent customer ideas and
suggestions. In the early 1980’s the founding members of Volgistics helped
pioneer the use of computers for managing volunteer information. Over the years
the people at Volgistics continued their pioneering spirit and dedication to
supporting volunteer leaders with the development of ‘SAM Volunteer
Management Software’ for DOS (1988); the Volunteer Information Center
touch-screen sign-in system (1990); VolunteerWorks 1.0 for Microsoft Windows
3.1 (1993), VolunteerWorks 2.0 for Microsoft Windows 95 and later (1997); and
VolunteerTools, web based forms for online volunteer interaction (1999).
While Volgistics inherits a wealth of volunteer management
know-how from these earlier products, it’s a brand new system built from
the ground up with the latest development tools and techniques, database
technologies, and server platforms.
Volgistics operates from facilities in Grand Rapids,
Michigan. These include a secure data center with multiple high-speed Internet
connections to the Internet backbone.
Volgistics is a privately held, Michigan
corporation.
