Feedback from organizers, union staff, and administrators on software, organizing workflows, data migration, and ongoing support.
“I've been using John Sladkus' union CRM tools since his outstanding Organizers Toolbox. There is no better organizing and membership CRM on the market. John and his team - huge shout out to Natalie! - are amazing. Quick responses, excellent training and follow up. I've been using this Salesforce-based tool for several years and it just keeps getting better. Truly fucking awesome.”
“With John Sladkus' excellent support IFPTE Local 21 migrated to Canvasser SOS almost two years ago. As a database, Canvasser SOS allows amazing flexibility to enter, track, and analyze your data. The app functionality even allows for real time access and entry of data in the field while talking to workers. SOS is the future of databases for organizing.”
“SOS Canvasser is how the data revolution is won! We were able to deploy and have half our organization up and running in six weeks. A year in, we're running more effective campaigns, increasing our membership numbers, and setting records with turn-out and participation. This is all due to real time data, easy customization, detailed reporting analytics and streamlined workflow between departments. We purchased SOS…”
“Last year we were at the end of the road with our old database, and we realized we absolutely had to upgrade. We decided to go with John Sladkus' Canvasser SOS and I couldn't be happier. John made the build and the data migration extremely painless, and we were up and running pretty quickly. The app is a breeze and a pleasure to use. And, while the tech support is great, I really haven't needed it much, as…”
“We have been working with John and Natalie and for a while now. These two have a way of making something so foreign to so many, so easy to understand and work through. It seems like no matter how crazy the requests, they have an answer or a path already mapped to fulfill such requests. If they cannot make your vision work they will explain why and come up with an even better option. I have learned so much about…”
“We were anxious but a little worried about transitioning to Canvasser, but John (Canvasser SOS Developer) really took care of us. He was crucial for us during the data transfer process, & he continues to be instrumental in providing valuable support with our usage of Canvasser. We have come a long way in a short amount of time from our introduction to Canvasser, & a primary reason for that was John's guidance during…”

“Canvasser SOS has all the functionality and flexibility that we've been looking for, and John and his team have been very responsive to our needs and asks. It's really a relief to have a direct connection, on top of a platform that is so well-used and discussed online. We finally have the support we need to do data right!”
“It has been been great using the Salesforce system and working with Jon and his team. The system allows us the flexibility to customize our reports, charts, and data to fit our ever changing needs. The ability to input things on-the-go from a cellular device gives us have real time data that is extremely helpful when out in the field! Thanks for a great system!”
“John (Canvasser SOS Developer) has been very instrumental in getting us up and running with the SOS Canvasser database. He has been able to take the projects and vision of our particular joint board and help us develop a database that is right for us. With the hands on approach and the step by step explanation to how to customize the database one quickly becomes familiar with the SOS system and can begin engaging…”
“I can't say enough about Canvasser SOS. It is so easy to learn for Admin's and User's. The support of the product is outstanding. The ability to create custom fields on the fly and to have them accessible on the mobile app right away is awesome. No more waiting for a new version to be approved by the Play Store and App Store. Having live data in the field is another great thing. No more syncing your data at the end…”
“I was a bit intimidated when we were told there would be a change on how we entered our daily data. Being not as techy as some, I was unsure how I would like this change. I love it! It was very simple to use and even cut down on the amount of time spent inputting data. The dashboard feature makes it easy to see progress and to know where you are in a campaign at a glance! The fact that your work is immediate and…”
