Encompass vs SmartTask Engage

Encompass is a charity that reduces poverty and and homelessness, working with a wide audience of different stakeholders outside the charity. This app enables invited users to easily stay up to date with Encompass policies, procedures, and forms, no matter where they are in the world, to assist them with handling situations Encompass is involved with. App users are invite only. Encompass users may be general public, supported individuals, temporary members, volunteers, board members, employees, contractors, and individuals from ad-hoc charity partners. Any of these users may need to consult a policy and underlying procedures before approaching a situation that Encompass supports. Time is often of the essence and Encompass would like to offer the simplest route to access guidance. On some occasions, users may need to report an update about a situation, which the app also facilitates through forms (some interactive and some downloadable). Due to the varied audience and need for easy installation and distribution for users and Encompass alike, this is a publicly released application on the App Store.
