Customer Retention

"Buzz is fantastic! It reduced the amount of time we spend processing applications and posting dogs, and we even eliminated a couple of volunteer positions so that those folks could be used for different tasks."
~ Amanda A. | Board Member
Rogers' Rescues

"They've been very easy to work with. Anytime you have a problem they quickly work to solve it. The website is very easy to maintain and the support is amazing."
~ Jenifer Dickson | Director
Autumn Acres Animal Rescue

"Many of our processes have been recognized as a leader in managing an all-volunteer non-profit animal rescue. This software not only enhances our processes, but streamlines many of our time-involved tasks, allowing us to focus on the 'bigger picture' of saving our favorite breed. This software integrated almost every app we use, e.g., email, donations, metrics, volunteer management, google drive, e-Commerce, PayPal. This software also includes hosting and daily backups, so we were able to roll our previous costs to HostGator into the cost of this software."
~ Audra Bowen | President
Rocky Mountain Cocker Rescue

"We are beyond thrilled with Laurie and her fantastic team. Great ideas, phenomenal service levels and extremely accommodating. Here's a review from one if our followers:What a joy to see a website that really works and is laid out the way people think. I went through everything TRYING to find something lacking (like most). To my joy it's ALL there, laid out beautifully."
~ Charmaine De Dobbeleer | Director
Barks And Meows Animal Rescue

"Laurie has been absolutely AMAZING in helping us get our new website off the ground! She has walked us through every step of the way, explaining the process, is extremely prompt in her communication, and is an absolute delight to work with! We are SO PROUD of our new website through Buzz to the Rescues!"
~ Kerri Kelly | Director
Dolly's Legacy Animal Rescue

"The Buzz team has been great to work with. This is the first time that our organization has worked with a software platform specifically designed for pet rescues. Our team has been overly satisfied with the product and look forward to continued integration as web design and creativity are ever growing. Buzz has excellent customer service and turn-around-times. Their support team is responsive to questions outside of business hours when necessary. That is a luxury we are delighted to have!"
~ Corissa Arndt | Director
Whiskers TNR of Warren County

Animal Intake, In Care & Outcome Tools

Online Adoption Contracts & Payments
Manage your online adoption contracts. Use your preferred payment processor.
Adopter, Foster and Volunteer Management

Donation & Reporting Modules
Buzz’s easy-to-use tools help you increase donations and stay on top of your finances, with organized information available at a glance.
DON'T FORGET: Buzz takes no payment processing or per adoption fees!

Simple, Painless Setup Process

Website

Use one of our many templates or use your own design.

Your Rescue Coach will create the shell of your site, add your logo, colors and fonts. We will teach you how to edit the site (HINT: Its super easy). You will have access to the site throughout the onboarding process.

We have an entire library of 30 pages chock full of content that is available to you. Use what you like and delete what you don't.

Applications

The Buzz Team will completely customize your Adoption, Foster and Volunteer Applications.

This step is simple and should not take long. All we need to complete this task is for you to share your current Adoption, Foster and Volunteer applications.  

 When onboarding, we’ll provide a spreadsheet like the one below. You’ll share the fields you want applicants to fill out, and voila - you’re done! Simply follow the instructions you find at the top of each sheet and check the box on the last sheet to let us know when you’re done.  

 Need any help? Refer to one of our helpful onboarding videos for further instruction, or email us for direct assistance.

Data

We will import your Animals, Adopters, Fosters, & Volunteers.

Transferring your existing data into Buzz is a breeze. Just like with your Applications, once we receive your Data in our spreadsheets, our team will import it and upload it to your new site so you can hit the ground running.
 

To help you do so, we have created step-by-step instructions that are easy to follow. As long as we know which software you are migrating from, we can provide the documents and assistance you need to get started. 

 The Buzz Team will also review all spreadsheets prior to launch to ensure the data has been entered correctly.

Training

Now that we're getting close launch, let's make sure your team is trained!

We offer two types of training sessions:

  • Train the Trainer:
    This is used by organizations that have more than 20 people.
    We recommend that directors or team leaders in each area of your organization learn their roles and responsibilities in Buzz so they can effectively train other team members.
  • All Team Training:
    This is used by organizations that have fewer than 20 people.
    We suggest that all members of your organization attend and learn their workflows in the software.

Each training session will be recorded and provided to the Director for members who cannot attend the training session. Each session runs for approximately 45 minutes.

Buzz-Training

Launch

We cannot make your site live without you!

In order to activate your new website, we need to point your domain to the new site files on the Buzz server. This is a simple process that the Buzz Team will do for you. 

Needed Access

Buzz requires the following to complete the process: 

 Name and link to your domain hosting company
(IE: GoDaddy, Network Solutions, HostGator) 

 Technical Access to that account 

 Access to the person in your organization on the day of launch in case there are security codes that we need. 

 Please Note: Our Team is only authorized to point domains from the domain hosting companies listed above. If you use a different company to host your domain, we can still handle it fairly easily, but you may need to get the hosting company’s helpdesk involved as well.

WHat Is Happening Behind The Scenes

Step One: Pointing the NameServers

You or the Buzz team will update the NameServers in your Domain Hosting account (GoDaddy, Blue Host, Network Solutions, etc.).

Time: Typically 2-24 hours (NOTE: This period is called Domain or DNS Propagation and refers to the amount of time needed for DNS changes to update across the web. Updating the nameservers of a domain usually takes 0 to 24 hours to take effect, but they are known to take as long as 48 hours to go into full effect.)

Step 2: Securing the site

Once the NameServers have propagated, the Buzz Team will add the SSL certificate to your domains. From the time of propagation until the SSL certificates are installed the site may show a red warning sign to site visitors showing the site is not safe. This will change as soon as the SSL certificate has been installed.

Time: This typically takes approximately 30 minutes.
