Track and deliver posters and boards.
Cadrify lets you log poster and board requests on the doorstep and in custom web forms that automatically create assignments for your team to fulfil. Track your requests year after year to find repeat supporters.
A visible campaign tells voters that their neighbours, people like them, are backing it. Posters and boards are how a campaign shows that, street by street.
The flow from request to delivery needs to be as simple as possible, or boards do not go out. Cadrify lets you log requests on the doorstep, and lets supporters request one through an online form connected to your electoral register.
Assign rounds to your volunteers to put the boards up, and tick each one off as it goes up.
How it works
Receive the requests from three places
On the doorstep, a door-knocker taps the poster or posterboard control on the household and the request is logged.
In the office, an organiser can add a request manually. Or set up a public form that automatically generates the request and matches it to the electoral register.
You can separate out posters and posterboards.
See every request on a map or a list
View all your posters and boards on a map, or in list form.
Track their status with different colours to show whether each one has been requested, put up or taken down.
Bundle requests into a round
Create a poster round or a posterboard round, choose who it goes to and a due date, and tick the addresses.
The round lands in the volunteer's assignments straight away.
The deliverer works the list on their phone
The round opens as a list of addresses, open ones first, with who asked, the other residents at the door and any note. A map view shows the same addresses as markers. Each item has a Done button and an undo, and progress is shown at the top.
Marking an item done sets the request to up with the time and the person who did it.
In practice

Door-knockers record poster and board offers as they go. By the time the short campaignShort campaign nounThe regulated spending period for a parliamentary candidate that runs from the day they officially become a candidate to polling day, when almost all campaign spending falls.In Cadrify Cadrify logs spending against Electoral Commission categories as it happens, so the short campaign total is always current.Full definition → starts, the ward already has a map of who wants what, with no separate list to type up.
A supporter rings the office
Add the request by hand. Search the ward for them, pick the kind, add a note about the side gate or the best time to call, and it joins the list with everything else.
The day the boards go up
Create a posterboard round per volunteer with the addresses nearest them and a due date. Each works through their list on their phone, and the organiser watches the progress bars fill on the Assignments sub-tab.
A request from the website
A sign-up page with a poster field creates the request when the form is submitted. If the person is not matched to the register it arrives flagged Not on register, and an organiser matches it to a resident before it goes into a round.
After polling day
Boards come down. A door-knocker records the take-down on the household and the marker greys out on the map, so the ones still standing are the ones still to collect.
FAQ
Who can add requests and create rounds?
Door-knockers record requests from the field view. Adding by hand, creating rounds, marking up and exporting need the organiser role. The deliverer only needs to be the person the round is assigned to.
Can two volunteers be sent to the same door?
No. The address picker for a new round shows only open requests of that kind that are not already in a live round.
Why is there one request per household rather than per person?
A poster goes in a window, so a request recorded at the door is attached to the household, and the delivery list shows an address once however many residents said yes. The deliverer still sees who asked and who else lives there.
Is the resident search safe?
It is scoped to the ward and returns nothing at all once more than 20 people match, so it cannot be used to browse the register. Type a few more characters to find a specific person.
Can I undo a mistake?
Yes. A poster marked up can be put back to requested, an item marked done in a round can be undone, and a request added in error can be deleted. Each of those is written to the audit log.
Does it work across several wards?
A constituency or council-wide campaign group shows the requests from every ward in it on one tab, each tagged with its ward, and exports them together.
Does it cost anything?
No. Posters and rounds are part of every plan and are not metered.
What this means for your campaign
Every request sits at its address on the map from the moment it is taken. The organiser's job is bundling those addresses into rounds.
On the day, each volunteer has their own list on their phone and the office can see what is up, what is outstanding and what has come down.
