Since 2000, Summerhill Impact’s Car Heaven program has promoted and facilitated the reduction of harmful vehicle emissions by getting older model, heavy-polluting vehicles off the road permanently.

The program was successful locally, but didn’t have the ability to expand because of technological deficiencies. The software solution used to track and manage donations was highly-customized and did not provide the visibility, security or adaptability required to gain capacity or extend to outside interests.

With a plan to increase throughput and efficiency, Parachute Software analyzed the business process of Car Heaven and created a specialized donation processing product branded CHERUBS. (Car Heaven Emission Reduction Universal Base Software). CHERUBS provides a web-based workflow software application to address the concerns and deficiencies of the former system.

Following an on-time and successful implementation, the Car Heaven program realized the technological benefits of efficiency, visibility, security and adaptability in their software solution. This allowed Car Heaven to immediately expand the program into new regions, and now have successfully deployed in all 10 Canadian provinces. In addition, the adaptability of the software solution has provided a channel for deploying a large-scale marketing campaign in partnership with a large automotive manufacturing organization. The efficiency CHERUBS has brought the organization has allowed the program to gain capacity of 725% within two years of deployment.
