Project

Alvord-Taylor is a non-profit organization assisting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live quality lives in their local communities. The organization has been in operation since 1970 and serves people in Eugene-Springfield, Oregon.

There were 22 departments and over 250 employees who provide 24/7/365 care to individuals in need in the community. To manage this large number of employees and ensure all shifts are covered at all times, Alvord-Taylor was using a combination of online office tools and add-ons to organize and manage this information. The employee and departmental information was not shared throughout their system. This meant each time they created a new form that required employee or departmental information, they had to recreate this information. This was not only redundant, but also time consuming. It was a challenging task to access employee, departmental, and form data to create reporting automatically.

I worked with a software engineer, Scott Schecter at Schecter & Co. to replace Alvord-Taylor existing forms with Gravity Forms which provided more advanced capabilities. We also created a custom WordPress plugin to facilitate the sharing of employee and departmental information across these forms.
