Born in the Shelter

"Stefan’s vision was to replace paper sign up sheets and messy email chains with a professional grade tool built specifically for the front lines."

The story of OpenVolMgr began in a local homeless shelter, where the limitations of generic software were putting mission critical support at risk. Developed by Stefan Costen, the platform was iterated based on real time feedback from staff on the ground.

Today, it serves as the operational backbone for organizations like the Thanet Shelter Support, allowing them to focus on their primary mission: providing support, dignity and shelter.
