For operations

You are the reason things move. Baton is the reason you can stop asking.

In most nonprofits one person holds the whole map of what is out for signature. That works right up until they take a week off.

A manager on the phone at a desk holding a printed checklist, three document trays in front of her.

What this looks like today

The map is in your head

Twelve documents in flight, and the only complete picture of them is yours.

Chasing is most of the job

Three emails a day that all say some version of “just checking in on this”.

Handover is impossible

There is no way to hand over a process that is mostly memory and habit.

What Baton does about it

  1. 1

    Put the map on a screen

    Everything in flight, ordered by what is late and what needs you. Anyone on the team can read it, which is what makes it a handover.

  2. 2

    Let the chasing happen without you

    A cadence you set once: every other day, three times, then stop. Or nudge from the row when you want to be the one asking.

  3. 3

    Save the routes you run every month

    Templates carry the recipients, the order and the message, so the process outlives whoever set it up.

What is true right now

Every line below describes something the product does today. Nothing on this page is a roadmap item wearing a feature’s clothes.

  • Everyone in your organization sees the same board; nothing is private to one account.
  • Four roles, no permission matrix. Owner, admin, member, viewer.
  • A deleted document is recoverable for a window you choose, up to a year.
  • Departments can be assigned to people, so the board can be filtered by team.
