Product overview
Sole Strategies is a free iPhone productivity app built to simplify grassroots organizing, especially within political campaigns. It helps volunteers and field staff find active and upcoming efforts, coordinate schedules, and stay connected with campaign administrators. The platform places extra emphasis on supporting organizations led by women and other underrepresented groups, making local engagement easier and more effective.
Core capabilities
- Exports canvassing territories directly to field devices by integrating with voter-engagement systems like NGP VAN.
- Lets volunteers enter voter responses and notes in the field, with collected data sent back to campaign administrators.
- Provides tools for creating and managing volunteer schedules and shifts.
- Enables real-time messaging between organizers and administrative teams for immediate coordination.
- Helps users discover and join current or upcoming community campaigns from a single interface.
- Focuses on enhancing outreach for women- and minority-led organizations through tailored organizing features.
Integration and how canvassing works
Sole Strategies connects with voter-targeting platforms so campaign managers can push canvassing turfs straight to phones or tablets. Field teams receive their assigned areas, collect contact and conversation data while canvassing, and sync their inputs to central databases. That flow reduces manual transfer, speeds reporting, and keeps administrative staff up to date without extra paperwork.
Who benefits most
- Small campaign staffs and volunteer-driven teams that need lightweight, mobile-first coordination.
- Field organizers who require offline-capable data entry and convenient territory access.
- Community groups and nonprofits led by women or members of underrepresented communities seeking tools tailored to local civic engagement.
Extras and setup
Sole Strategies works alongside common campaign tools and document utilities, so teams can incorporate file conversions or other third-party helpers as needed. To get started, download the app on an iPhone, sign in through your campaign account, and sync with your campaign’s administrative dashboard to begin receiving assignments and sharing data.
