Village Dates

Village Dates connects parents throughout Flanders on a local level to bring the "Village Feeling" back to life.

About this project

Village Dates, in partnership with the Humanist Alliance, brings parents together locally. But rapid growth made manually matching parents untenable. Build More developed an automatic matching application, saving Lynn hours of work each day.

The challenge

Lynn, the founder of Village Dates, had to match parents manually. Parents registered via a Google form, and based on the data collected in an Excel sheet, Lynn had to make matches manually every day. She then sent individual emails to inform parents about their match and created WhatsApp groups herself. This process took hours every day and was not user-friendly for either Lynn or the end users.

The solution

On the recommendation of a satisfied Build More customer, Village Dates quickly Build More . Build More a custom application that automated the entire matching process. Users can now log in themselves, after which the system automatically matches parents within their local community and adds them directly to the appropriate WhatsApp group. This reduces the need for manual intervention and ensures a seamless user experience.

The result

Village Dates now saves hours of manual work, allowing Lynn to focus entirely on the further growth of the platform. End users benefit from a user-friendly portal where they can view their village and manage their data. For the administrator, the application provides a clear overview of all users and the ability to filter by region, which greatly simplifies management.

Conclusion

The collaboration with Build More Village Dates solve their challenge quickly and efficiently. Thanks to the custom application, the user flow has improved significantly, and Village Dates can focus on their mission: connecting parents throughout Flanders. With the support of the Humanist Association, Build More has provided Village Dates with a scalable solution that supports growth without additional manual work.
