Begin without re-keying years of history or waiting on a black-box migration.

More you can do

Save reusable mappings across people, workplaces, organizations, assignments, credentials, and custom fields. People checks for duplicates and errors before import, keeps a batch history with rollback, and lets you combine manual entry with later imports in the same database.

02Built around your union

Name the people and structures the way your union does.

Define members, staff, stewards, organisers, executives, retirees, and other people with your own labels. Configure the organisations, worksites, fields, and profile sections your local uses.

People fits your union's language instead of forcing everyone into a generic contact.

More you can do

Give one person several roles using your labels, colours, icons, and translations. Create organisation types for employers, vendors, agencies, committees, and partners, then configure profile fields, visibility rules, and protected exports without code.

03One person · Full context

Open one record and understand the person.

Keep contact details, roles, assignments, classifications, representation, credentials, notes, files, consent, and history together in one permission-aware record.

The information needed to help a member is already attached to the person.

More you can do

Track current and previous workplaces, classifications, bargaining units, and effective dates. Add pinned notes, related records, files, credentials, and a searchable timeline, while controlling field access, consent, self-service, edit history, trash, and restoration.

Built for the conversation after the meeting

The right information should already be there when a member calls. It should not be sitting in someone else's spreadsheet.

04Geographic intelligence

See the people, workplaces, and districts behind the numbers.

Explore worksites and members on a live map, add density layers, and compare electoral boundaries with real membership counts.

See where representation is strong, where coverage is thin, and who belongs in the next outreach list.

More you can do

Switch between worksites, members, combined views, electoral boundaries, and privacy-aware heatmaps. Compare municipal, provincial, and federal districts using live membership counts, then save the people in any district as a reusable outreach segment.

05Live data · Ready to use

Stop rebuilding lists and reports from exported copies every time the union needs to act.

More you can do

Build match-all or match-any segments with live previews for Communications. Assign steward coverage by worksite, classification, bargaining unit, member, and effective date, then create reports, charts, masked exports, and branded member documents from the same live data.

Built around the union

The questions teams ask before switching.

Configure People around your union while keeping every record consistent, secure, and traceable.

Can we use our own terminology?

Yes. Rename roles, units, types, sections, and fields.

Configurable People, organisation, and worksite types; representative terminology; custom fields; English, French, and Spanish labels.

Can one person hold several roles?

Yes. Keep one person and classify every role they hold.

Member, steward, organiser, staff, executive, retiree, applicant, outside contact, and tenant-defined types without duplicate profiles.

Can members update their own information?

Yes. Let members maintain only the fields you approve.

Member self-service, field visibility, approval-aware updates, contact-point consent, and a complete change history.

Who can see sensitive information?

Only the people and teams you authorise.

App permissions, field-level visibility, record grants, protected exports, tenant boundaries, and audit logging.

Can we trace and reverse changes?

Yes. Every important update keeps its source and history.

Person timeline, consent provenance, import batches, edit history, duplicate merges, rollback, trash, and restoration.

Will staff be able to learn it themselves?

Yes. Guidance is built into the work.

Searchable help, guided tours, familiar union terminology, keyboard shortcuts, and English, French, and Spanish interfaces.

One record. Used everywhere.

Update People once. Keep the rest of the union in step.

When a phone number, worksite, classification, credential, or status changes, each connected team works from the same authorised member record instead of an old copy. People keeps outreach, representation, cases, dispatch, dues, strike readiness, and reporting current.
