Services
Voter Contact
Voter File Management – Nearly every Democratic campaign in the United States uses VAN databases to manage their voter contact programs from identification to persuasion to Get Out The Vote. VAN marries voter file data with the most powerful tools available for communicating with voters and collecting new information about them.
Volunteer Management – Built largely under the guidance of Obama for America, VAN’s ‘My Campaign’ database provides a complete suite of volunteer management tools for tracking your activists and setting up and scheduling events, all tightly integrated with your voter contact program.
Casework Management – Legislative offices use VAN’s casework management tools to track all incoming constituent requests from the first call through resolution. Users assign and monitor every step of communication with the constituent or with third party agencies.
New Media
Blast Email – Our blast email tools provide a complete email solution fully integrated into VAN’s voter, activist, and membership databases. The package provides everything you need for loading images and building email templates, managing subscription lists, sending targeted emails, and tracking responses.
Website – Your website should be a logical extension of your powerful voter file, membership, and activist database. We can design and build your public website from the ground up. Whether you need an affordable out-of-the-box solution or a heavily customized high end site, it will be completely integrated with VAN. If you’ve already got a great website or a vendor that you love, then contact us to find out how your site can be fully integrated with VAN using our API or prebuilt Drupal modules for signing up volunteers, making contributions, scheduling events, or doing voter contact.
New Media Consulting – Whether we build your website or not, we can lay out a complete strategy for your campaign to take maximum advantage of new media tools from email to websites to social networking tools.
Telephone Services
RoboCalls – Our integrated Robocall service allow users to cut any list on VAN and then walk through a highly intuitive RoboCall wizard to schedule a call, record the message, and monitor its progress. Because of VAN’s enormous user base, we are able to offer our biggest volume discounts for all of our telephone services to even the smallest campaigns or organizations.
Predictive Dialer – Our predictive dialer allows you to set up a calling campaign where volunteers talk to voters with close to three times the efficiency of manual dialing. Cut the target list on VAN, then use our predictive dialer wizard to select a script, choose display options, and assign users.
RoboSurveys – Cut any list on VAN, then use our powerful RoboSurvey wizard to select a script, manage recordings, schedule an interactive automated poll, and then monitor the progress as data collected is automatically loaded into VAN.

New Member Organizing – VAN is the leading provider of software for tracking all aspects of union organizing campaigns. Users can build and manage turf based on where people work, track extensive communications and assessments, and monitor progress through an election.
Member Management – More and more labor unions and other progressive organizations are using VAN’s ‘My Members’ database for storing member data and tracking all communications with them, ensuring that their member communication is fully integrated with their voter contact and activist management programs.
