### "The non profit life "

May 19, 2020

5.0

This was the database our food bank used and it did its job but really needs some updating.

Pros

is a great data base that stores all of our clients who received food from us and also we track calfresh applications we submitted on behalf of the client.

Cons

The only use for this database was to store clients information. The database could be a bit more user friendly. The flow when entering information could improve.

### "Oasis Insight"

November 14, 2018

5.0

We use Oasis for our SNAP outreach team to track the work they do. Oasis allows us to pull together information quickly to report out to the larger organization and also for us to gauge how we are doing.

Pros

The customer service experience has been very positive. Any time I've run into an issue I can't resolve, the customer service has been prompt and thorough.

Cons

There are a few occasions I have not been able to pull together the information from a report myself.

### "Worst software application I have encountered in 30 years"

November 9, 2018

1.0

(continued from above) … in that window in order to record one shopping visit. When first required to use this software, we asked if it was possible to set and use default settings to reduce the number of keyboard/mouse interactions and was told it was not possible. Most recently, I sent a message to Oasis asking if the red banner warning that the USDA Eligibility Expiration Date had expired (a decided improvement) could be altered so that the same display that reads "Almost Due" could have its background color changed (a simple code change) to yellow to allow readily distinguishing these alerts to support different actions with clients, I received no response.

Pros

There is nothing about this application that merits any commendation, except the recent addition of the banner warning that the USDA Eligibility Expiration date has passed (and that is problematic in that the related "Almost Due" display is distracting, making it difficult to be alert to the needed interaction with clients. I wrote to Oasis about two months ago asking if the "Almost Due" banner background color could be changed from red to yellow (or other distinctive color, a simple coding change), but received no response.

Cons

I have volunteered over 20 years checking in client shoppers at Micah 6 Food Pantry in Austin, Texas. We initially kept records of registered shoppers and their visits to the pantry using an Excel spread sheet program that suited our purposes. When required by the Central Texas Food Bank (formerly Capital Area Food Bank) in Austin to use to register and record shoppers, we became burdened with its singularly inefficient design that impairs our operation and interactions with client shoppers. We typically check in at least 140 shoppers in one hour on Thursday evenings and another 120 or more on Saturday mornings, each within a period of one to one and a half hours. To search for and locate each shopper's record and add a record of a shopping visit requires a minimum of eight keystrokes and mouse clicks. We assign a unique four character alphanumeric code for each shopper, yet when we search that code, which we have entered in the Identification Number/Number field, we do not get an immediate display of that one person's record, but a display of the name, which we then have to click to display that record. We record only one type of Assistance - "Food:Pantry Assistance", which is displayed as a default, allowing entry of number of pounds, which we do not record, but use an average weight for all shoppers." Yet, we have to click Assistance in the right margin, then click "Add Assistance, then click "Add" (continued below)

4.0

Trying to understand the geographic location of the people that we are serving has been a great benefit.

Pros

The value is great! Low cost for very robust features and great customer support.

Cons

While this may not be Oasis's problem to solve, finding ways to speed up the intake process when looking for a client would be great. Perhaps a suggested "kit" that food banks can provide to pantries?

4.0

We are a non-profit organization that runs a good pantry and we are easily able to track our clients.

Pros

The overall functionality is good, ease to navigate and has good reporting. The screens are pretty self explanatory.

Cons

Not being an admin of the system, it would be nice if users could delete duplicate records from their own organization.

Love using Insight. The monthly SFPP and TFAP reports are so easy and quick to generate!

Pros

Ease of use Love the layout Great reports available

Cons

I work with a lot of computer-phobic seniors, so we basically do a batch update offline. Our live training session left a lot to be desired. The video's helped, but basically we fumbled our way through it until we mastered it.

### "Oasis Platform very easy to work with"

November 16, 2018

5.0

Using Oasis is very easy, instructing others on its use is also easy because it is simple and straight forward. I would recommend this platform to any organization to collect and track client data.

Pros

The program is very easy to use and navigate. Able to sort cases easily and accurately. The agency was able to customize our for to fit our needs easily. Very easy to add and edit cases as needed.

Cons

I honestly have not had a problem using this application.

4.0

Pros

Great to have a system focused on NFP with such great functionality. Also the ease of use is super important for programs using volunteers.

Cons

Ad hoc reporting could be made easier for the user. And more standard reports would be helpful.

### "Oasis Insight helpful for food pantry documentation"

November 2, 2018

5.0

helps us go paperless and it allows us to pull reports easily. We are able to serve more families in a faster time due to the ease of record keeping.

Pros

is extremely helpful in managing all of our information about food pantry clients: their demographic information, how often they come to the food pantry, what programs they qualify for, how much food they receive each month, etc. The report generation is also beneficial for crunching the numbers on aggregate data.

Cons

We have had several problems with recording signatures. While this may be more of a problem with our web browser, it is still annoying.

The time saved has been immense. We can track data inhouse and with other agencies. If a person has a household change, it's simple to update. As noted above, I'm new to monthly reports and it still seems clunky. Overall, it's a great tool for business.

Pros

It's very easy to enter and update in search mode.

Cons

I'm still getting the knack of monthly reports, but it seems a bit trial and error to get the correct data to show. Also, there is not a provision for accounting for people not in the data bank yet they are on the roster.

### "Pleased over all"

November 3, 2018

4.0

We merely use this software for keeping track of how often our clients come, how much food they receive, etc. so it has proved most beneficial in that regard.

Pros

We have been using this software for probably 8 years at our Food Pantry and rarely do we have a complaint. The updates that they make are certainly helpful.

Cons

The times that the software is slow is our main concern. They usually clear it up fairly quickly, but it is annoying at the time. Also, when you are entering a new client, the only part that is not user-firendly is that you can't "Add" that client until you have gone thru each tab. That has always been confusing to our trainees.

Working with at regional food bank. Multiple agencies utilizing single data source. Very functional and helpful to see across the region.

Pros

SySystem is very responsive. Like the clarity of use.

Cons

Reporting features are very awkward to use. We have certain fields we would like to extract and report on. But using the generic menu system does not currently allow that.

### "Good Program needs some tweaks"

November 13, 2018

4.0

Tracking Food Bank Clients has saved us a lot of time and eliminated a client getting food more than once per week.

Pros

Ease of Recording weekly which clients have received assistance.

Cons

The fact that other Food Banks can change my clients' information but I can't tell if they are getting assistance elsewhere.

### "Oasis for review"

February 5, 2019

4.0

Pros

The program helps to keep track of a data base that I would normally have to maintain myself.

Cons

It's slow and difficult to find customers who may have obtained services from another provider on the same day. This would show the customer is "double dipping".
