Furniture Repair Bank is a unique non-profit that restores over 1,000 pieces of furniture each year. Each item undergoes a multistep restoration process before being assembled into customized sets that meet the specific needs of the families they serve. Efficient inventory management is critical to keeping their operations running smoothly.

In 2023, a dedicated team from Seattle GiveCamp partnered with Furniture Repair Bank to design a basic inventory management solution using the Airtable platform. In 2024, the organization actively expanded its operations and refined how it used the platform. Through hands-on use, they identified what worked, what didn’t, and what new data and features could further support their mission. This journey led to the need for additional enhancements, including advanced reporting, automated responses, improved production management, and more—setting the stage for the next phase of their technology growth.
