Fill Your Volunteer Schedule Without a Single Phone Call

Consignment Helper's Self-Service Signup shows available shifts during registration. Consignors browse open slots, pick what works for their schedule, and confirm instantly. Volunteer benefits like reduced fees are applied automatically. You wake up to a filled schedule.

The Challenge: Endless Back-and-Forth Coordination

You need 60 volunteer shifts filled. The traditional approach: email everyone asking for their availability, wait for responses, follow up with people who didn't respond, manually assign shifts, send confirmation emails, handle the "actually can we switch?" requests.

It's exhausting. You're spending hours on email coordination when you should be planning the actual sale. And even after all that work, you still have gaps because someone "meant to respond but forgot."

  • Email overload - Dozens of messages trying to coordinate availability.
  • Manual matching - You become the bottleneck for every shift assignment.
  • Delayed responses - Waiting days for people to check their calendars.
  • Forgotten confirmations - People who thought they signed up but didn't.

Self-service signup eliminates the coordinator as bottleneck.
