Who is Alpe d’HuZes?
Alpe d’HuZes is an annual charity event held in France where over 5,000 participants run, hike, or cycle up the iconic Alpe d’Huez mountain to raise funds for cancer research. With safety as a top priority and coordination growing more complex each year, the organization relies heavily on efficient processes to manage real-time communication, incident response, and volunteer coordination.
The Challenges
As Alpe d’HuZes scaled in size, the need for a robust, centralized event management solution became urgent. Volunteers were still using paper forms and Excel sheets to track incidents, which resulted in delays, inefficiencies, and limited oversight. With over 900 incident reports per day, the control room needed a way to communicate in real-time with police and hospital personnel while proactively monitoring potential safety risks. Manual tools were no longer viable—the organization needed a digital transformation.
The Solution
Using the WEM No-Code Platform, the Alpe d’HuZes team—including volunteers with no professional development background—built and deployed a fully functional event management app in just three months. Designed visually using flowcharts, the application features:
-
Real-time monitoring of incident reports across all checkpoints
-
Live status updates on issue resolution and team assignments
-
Data analytics tools to evaluate incident frequency by time and location
-
Cloud-based access to streamline communication across agencies
This shift from paper to a data-driven incident management platform enabled the organization to respond faster, manage more efficiently, and prepare proactively for future events.
"Ministries and foundations look at our app as an example to share knowledge […] The structure of this tool is applicable in any sector."
