Wheedu Launches World's First Community Management Platform - Designed to Save the World and Your Inbox In a Single Download
ATLANTA, Sept. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Struggling with an inbox that's out of control? You're not alone. Email wasn't designed to handle group and community efforts in the way it's being used now. In fact, 84% of those in community groups said they are less likely to participate in a group because of email overload.
Following its successful beta, today Wheedu (wheedu.com) is launching the world's first platform for groups to collaborate and finally reduce their reliance on email. Wheedu's mission is simple – to make your group awesome and make you love being involved with the things that matter in your life and community.
To accomplish this, Wheedu's platform provides a suite of features that have proven to increase the ability of groups to communicate and work together - all in a single venue:
- Single Home for All Communication: Group discussions in one place, not endless email strings
- "Swiss-Army Knife" Productivity Tools: Plan an event, poll your group or coordinate volunteer activities
- Synchronized Calendars: Group events that sync to personal calendars eliminating email updates
- Anytime, Anywhere Connectivity: Access your groups through mobile or desktop at any time so collaboration never stops
"It's been really exciting to adopt Wheedu across the five schools where I teach taekwondo," explains DeJon Brumfield, founder of Kickin' It Afterschool. "The parents have responded really positively. It's so much easier to use than our previous solution and a huge time saver over email alone."
Wheedu is designed to help group leaders spend less time managing their group (Beta participants experienced a 60% drop in administrative time) and more time on the missions of those groups themselves. With the average U.S. adult belonging to four or more community groups – neighborhood associations, sports leagues, charitable efforts and spiritual groups representing common groups – the value of Wheedu across community efforts is far-reaching.
"The response has been tremendous. We've just exited beta and have over 3,000 users and 1,000 groups, with the average user already participating in two to three groups." shares CEO Chris Hackney. "The potential impact is huge, both for the groups themselves and our communities in general. This is a case where technology can be used to improve communities and we're excited to expand our effort with this launch."
