Community software

// The problem

A congregation takes gifts by cash, cheque, e-transfer and card, and its volunteer treasurer spends weeks each winter matching them to donors and typing receipts.

// What we would build

A giving page and donor accounts with card and recurring gifts through Stripe, cash and cheque entry for counters after each service, year-end receipts generated in the format your treasurer and advisers approve, and gift totals posted to QuickBooks Online, built on its API. We build to the receipt rules your advisers set; we give no tax advice.

// The problem

A community centre keeps its members and families in an old Access database on one office computer, with no backup and no record of who has looked at what.

// What we would build

We move every record out of the old database, check it with your office team, and rebuild the register as a small web app with roles, so a group leader sees only their group, the office sees what it needs, and every change and export is logged.

// The problem

A temple books its halls and kitchen by text message, and volunteer shifts for festivals and weekly meals are filled from a group chat that nobody can search.

// What we would build

A booking calendar for rooms and equipment with approval by the office, volunteer rotas people sign up to themselves, and a Telegram bot that sends shift reminders and lets volunteers swap shifts, in the languages your members use.

// The problem

A mosque's website is in one language, its announcements live on social media, and the office answers the same questions about times, classes and services by phone every day.

// What we would build

A new website in the languages your members speak, edited by your office, with an assistant that answers visitors from your own pages and announcements, cites the page it used, and hands anything personal to a person. It answers practical questions only, never matters of belief.

// The problem

A gurdwara's food bank and outreach programmes record visits on paper sign-in sheets, and the volunteers rebuild the numbers by hand for every funder report.

// What we would build

A tablet app for intake and visits that asks only what you need, inventory for donated food, and a dashboard that turns the records into the figures your funders ask for, with personal details kept private and out of every report.

// The problem

A church's website and livestream page were set up years ago by a volunteer who has since moved, nobody has the passwords, and nothing has been updated or backed up.

// What we would build

We recover access, move the site and the livestream page to managed hosting in Canada, set up backups, monitoring and updates, and look after it month by month, so the office can edit the pages and nobody has to be the person who knows the passwords.

// The problem

Several independent food banks run by different congregations pass surplus food between them, and each keeps its own list of what was sent and received, which never quite match.

// What we would build

A shared web app where each pantry records food sent and received, with every transfer recorded on a private permissioned ledger that each organisation runs a node of, so no single member holds the record. A shared database run by one host often does this job; the ledger helps when the members want no one organisation in charge.
