Since 2017, social tech startup bantu ‒ meaning ‘help’ in Bahasa Malaysia ‒ has been actively working with over 70 impact-driven organisations across Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand to improve community management and engagement. Recognising the data proliferation in modern society, bantu set out to help non-profits, charities, foundations, social enterprises, and CSR teams benefit from digital transformation, using data to further their business goals and build stronger communities.
Through its proprietary tech platform bantu Workspace, the startup dreams to empower organisations across the Southeast Asia region through easy-to-use technology, managing and utilizing data as a force for good and accelerating social impact.
Designed to streamline community management for all types of events, community managers and volunteers alike can use bantu Workspace as an all-in-one platform to run management work and community driven activities.
Furthermore, repetitive and menial tasks such as scheduling shifts and broadcasting messages can be automated, increasing work efficiency and output tremendously, allowing organisations to better engage the right volunteers to reach out to the larger community around them. Reports can also be generated to ensure volunteer activities are tracked, minimizing undocumented work and providing key insights that organisations can then improve on.
Beyond convenience, bantu also offers peace-of-mind through data security and recovery solutions. With measures put in place across all levels of the company, bantu ensures complete transparency and confidentiality. Having already assisted impact-driven organisations in Singapore to accelerate workflow implementation through digital adoption, bantu now looks to empower organisations in Malaysia, driving its vision towards helping local organisations free up time spent on administrative tasks to focus on social outreach.
Whether it is built on skill or passion, impact-driven organisations require collective individuals to drive their vision and mission home. Through leveraging on technology, organisations can maximize productivity as they give back to the community, and volunteers passionate in lending a hand can contribute their time by connecting with non-profits and social enterprises HERE.
