Find Someone With the Skills to Cover a Volunteer Shift

Proximatic shows people approved for the job who are free for the whole shift. Choose someone to ask and give the lead a replacement who can do the work.

The trained equipment operator has canceled. You need someone who can run the equipment, not just another person at the venue. A broad call for Saturday help can produce plenty of enthusiasm while leaving the essential job open.

In Proximatic, put the trained operators on an approved team and keep the equipment shifts for that team. When an operator cancels, Find cover checks which of them are free for the whole shift and aren't already assigned elsewhere. You get people you can ask without checking every helper's training and hours again.

If an approved operator agrees to take the shift, save that assignment. The crew now has someone to run the equipment, and you can share the queue-management or loading openings with other helpers. Separating those jobs makes every offer of help more useful.

Use the same approach for drivers, sound operators and people trained to open the venue. Proximatic uses the teams you've approved when scheduling them, and the roster shows which of those jobs still needs someone.

You make the approval decisions; Proximatic puts them to work when building the crew or finding cover.

Create your event and find someone trained to cover the shift.
