Tabidoo raised the quality of our data management tenfold.

Martin Kempson – IT Manager

Three13 helps people gain confident awareness of their worth and abilities, find meaningful employment, and become more economically stable.

Aiming to break the cycle of ‘entrenched worklessness’ in North East England, Three13 offers practical training programmes in supportive working environments such as kitchens, gardens, or wood workshops. Here, adults facing multiple barriers can acquire the skills needed to fully engage in life and work.

Three13’s programmes also improve inclusion and reduce isolation among long-term unemployed individuals. These programmes are often linked to community action, with an emphasis on learning through doing: “Why sit in a classroom when your learning could be helping others?” This approach maximises opportunities for personal development, teamwork, and collaboration, while also providing participants with relevant work experience, vocational qualifications, and career guidance.

Challenges

As an accredited education provider, Three13 regularly undergoes external scrutiny of its policies, methods of delivery, and progress-tracking systems. With the growing number of learners at its Hub sites, the organisation needed to develop a bespoke database to ensure accurate data recording and reporting to stakeholders. For a non-profit organisation, it was crucial that this database could be developed in-house and at a reasonable cost.

Collaboration with Tabidoo

After researching potential platforms, Three13’s IT manager discovered Tabidoo. With the ability to handle large amounts of data and generate reports and dashboards with just a few clicks, Tabidoo was the upgrade they were looking for – and at a great price.

Result

The implementation of Tabidoo significantly improved Three13’s data management. Data migration was easy, and the wide range of features allowed them to quickly build a system that worked to their needs. Once deployed, Tabidoo’s simple and clear interface meant that all team members quickly learned how to use it. Managers can easily request tailored reports, and support staff can track each learner’s journey in real-time, recording new interventions and outcomes.

Follow-up Scenarious

Switching to Tabidoo was a key step in modernising Three13’s practices. Since then, the organisation has achieved Cyber Essentials and ISO270001 certifications, demonstrating its commitment to information security. Three13 continues to streamline its processes using the tools available on the Tabidoo platform as the organisation grows.
