From Spreadsheets to Simplicity
Before adopting One Step, NALO Spalding relied on spreadsheets and paper files to manage their operations. Like many sober living homes and recovery community organizations (RCOs), they knew there had to be a more efficient way.
After seeing One Step, the decision was immediate, “it was a no brainer.”
Strong Support Drives Adoption
One of the biggest factors in their success wasn’t just the software but the support behind it..
“One Step’s customer service has been great. I really appreciated the training in the beginning and the ongoing support.”
Onboarding new systems can be a challenge. With One Step, hands-on training and responsive support made the transition seamless.
Features That Actually Make a Difference
NALO Spalding highlighted two features that had an immediate impact to streamline operations:
- Digital forms that eliminate paperwork
- Ease of use that simplifies case management and peer support
Instead of spending time managing files, staff can focus more on supporting residents. Digital tools like One Step can make all the difference.
Automation That Saves Time
Administrative work is one of the biggest pain points for sober living operators. That’s where One Step made a measurable difference.
“The automation of data collection and reporting has been extremely helpful.”
By automating these processes, organizations reduce manual entry, minimize errors, and gain clearer insights into their operations.
Tracking Outcomes with Confidence
Proving impact is becoming increasingly important in the recovery space.
With One Step, NALO Spalding is now able to:
- Track the number of individuals they serve
- Demonstrate the effectiveness of their program
- Support funding, partnerships, and growth with real data
“We’re using One Step to track the number of people that we serve and evidence the efficacy of what we do.”
A Platform That Grows With You
This wasn’t NALO Spalding’s first experience with One Step. They initially used it in a recovery residence and later expanded into an RCO.
That continuity mattered.
“We were already familiar with its capabilities and the support that the team offers.”
As organizations grow, having a system that scales with them becomes critical and One Step continues to meet those needs. There’s a reason house managers love using the software!
Would They Recommend It? Absolutely.
When asked how likely NALO Spalding were to recommend One Step:
