Overview

Replace outdated call lists and spreadsheets with the #1 union dispatch software that delivers faster job assignments, fewer errors, and greater member satisfaction.

The Shift from Manual to Digital Dispatch

Traditional dispatch processes-like phone trees, paper lists, or outdated spreadsheets-are slow, prone to errors, and create frustration for members and staff.

Built for Union Workflows, Not Generic Staffing

Unlike generic scheduling apps, Union Impact was designed exclusively for union locals.

Slow, Time-Consuming Processes

Office staff spend hours calling members, verifying qualifications, and manually updating lists-leaving room for mistakes and delays that cost jobs.

Lack of Transparency and Trust

Without a member-facing system, workers can’t easily check their place on the list, confirm job offers, or see dispatch history.

Real-Time Member Matching

Automatically match members to jobs based on certifications, trade, availability, and past work history-no more manual sorting or guesswork.

Serving American Locals: Our platform is built to support unions across the United States, with U.S. locals operating on our U.S.-based systems to keep everything aligned with domestic operations and member needs.

Serving Canadian Locals: Canadian unions are supported through dedicated Canadian infrastructure, ensuring your local’s data, workflows, and member services remain inside Canada—built for Canadian unions, by a team that supports them every day.

Send instant SMS, email, or push alerts when members are dispatched or when new jobs become available.

Faster Assignments, Fewer Errors

Automated workflows drastically reduce human error in job placement.

Improved Member Experience

Members can log in via desktop or mobile to check job status, update availability, and respond to calls-giving them more control and building trust in the system.

Designed for Union Needs from the Ground Up

Union Impact’s dispatch module is fully integrated with its union CRM , allowing seamless connections between member records, training certifications, and job history.

Secure, Scalable, and Always Accessible

Hosted on Microsoft Azure with SOC 2-compliant security, Union Impact ensures maximum uptime and the ability to scale as your membership grows.

Why It Matters

matters when staff need clearer records, faster follow-up, and fewer manual handoffs across member service, officer questions, and daily operations.

Who Should Review It

Presidents, business managers, administrators, treasurers, organizers, dispatchers, and communications staff should compare the topic against the work they touch each week.

Current Workflow Check

Start by listing the forms, spreadsheets, inboxes, exports, and reports your team uses now, then mark which ones create delays or duplicate entry.

Member Experience

A better workflow should make it easier for members to ask questions, update information, submit requests, and understand what happens next.

Compliant by Design
Our platform is hosted only in SOC 2 Type II / SOC 3 Type II–audited data centers, giving you a proven compliance baseline from day one.

Nightly Off-Site Backups
Your data is backed up automatically every night to a separate, secure data center—so you’re protected from accidental loss or hardware failures.

Security You Can Trust
Your connection to our system is encrypted with HTTPS (SSL/TLS) using 2048-bit certificates, ensuring your data stays private and tamper-resistant in transit.

Staff Experience

Staff should be able to find the current record, owner, status, notes, files, and next action without searching across disconnected tools.

Officer Visibility

Officers need practical reporting that shows trends, blockers, workload, and outcomes without requiring staff to build a separate spreadsheet.

Data Quality

Clean data depends on required fields, ownership, validation, and review habits, not just a larger database or another import process.

Access Control

Sensitive records should use role-aware permissions so finance, grievance, member, and staff information is visible only to the right people.

Security Basics

Look for secure hosting, backups, password discipline, staff access reviews, and clear support paths before moving sensitive union records.

Communication Fit

The topic should connect to email, text, portal, website, and staff follow-up so members receive timely, consistent information.

Reporting Fit

Useful reporting starts with daily workflow data, then turns that data into clear views for officers, staff, committees, and audits.

Implementation Fit

A realistic rollout should explain what launches first, what data must be cleaned, who approves changes, and how staff will be trained.

Dedicated Infrastructure: Your security is our priority. Every client receives their own dedicated server, meaning your data is never co-mingled with anyone else’s. This private environment ensures maximum security and performance.

Choose a reliable partner that follows the latest security protocols.

Training Needs

Training should match real union tasks, including intake, lookup, updates, reporting, member questions, exceptions, and handoffs between staff roles.

Vendor Questions

Ask vendors how the workflow handles permissions, exports, support, migration, reporting, forms, alerts, and post-launch changes.
