Case Study: Habitat for Humanity
Project: Micro ERP & AI-Driven Operations Platform
Client Overview
Habitat for Humanity is a global nonprofit that coordinates volunteers, manages donations, and organizes housing projects in communities worldwide. Their mission is to ensure every family has access to safe, affordable housing.
Challenge
Habitat struggled with siloed systems — volunteer scheduling, donations, and project management were spread across disconnected tools. This created inefficiencies, duplicate data entry, and made it difficult to forecast labor and material needs for upcoming projects.
Solution
Alt Datum developed a custom micro ERP system with AI integration to unify operations:
-
Volunteer Management Module – centralized scheduling and automated reminders
-
Donations & Finance Module – tracked contributions in real time and linked to project budgets
-
AI Forecasting – predicted volunteer demand and supply needs for upcoming builds
-
CRM Integration – linked donors, volunteers, and community partners into one view
Results
-
Reduced admin workload by 45% through automation
-
Improved project planning accuracy with AI-driven forecasts
-
Increased donor engagement by streamlining contribution tracking
-
Scalable system that grows with Habitat’s chapters nationwide
Ongoing Partnership
Alt Datum maintains a retainer relationship with Habitat for Humanity, continuously enhancing their ERP platform with new modules and AI capabilities. This ensures Habitat’s operations remain efficient, scalable, and aligned with their mission as demand grows.
