UNA-Pasadena is thrilled to announce an exciting update regarding how we will work, communicate, and interact with the greater Pasadena community! With help from ActLocal, we’re taking a major step forward by moving from a collection of separate, traditional tools such as Constant Contact towards a more connected and streamlined technology powered by Google Workspace and Odoo.
As a nonprofit organization, we want to ensure our technology effectively supports our mission to “educate, inspire, and mobilize Americans to support the principles and vital work of the United Nations.” Google Workspace is particularly well-suited for nonprofit organizations, giving us the opportunity to access tools to enhance our communication and productivity. With Google Workspace, everyone serving an official role at UNA will receive a dedicated UNA email address, giving our organization a more professional and unified identity.
Google Workspace gives UNA-Pasadena a strong foundation for professional communication and collaboration, but we wanted to take that connectivity to the next level. That’s where Odoo comes in. Odoo is an Enterprise Resource Planning platform that replaces separate subscriptions with integrated apps for Customer Relationship Management. Odoo provides apps for accounting, inventory, sales, e-commerce, manufacturing, and human resources in a single database, allowing UNA-Pasadena to connect our day-to-day communications with the systems that power our website, social media, and public outreach.
By switching from low-to-high tech systems, we hope to centralize our finances, communications, and social media in one place. This will allow us to grow membership and engagement – instead of receiving fragmented updates from different platforms, members will receive a professional stream of communication from one channel.
Stay tuned for more updates regarding our technological transformation and new communications through Odoo!
