We built a humanitarian portal because we needed one.
The first version of this portal ran inside a Myanmar humanitarian NGO we were supporting. We needed somewhere their country team, partners and donors could see the same MEAL data without emailing spreadsheets at midnight.
Setting up a country-office workspace involves choosing indicators, importing staff, mapping roles, configuring leave calendars and building dashboards. These tasks shaped the starting point we wanted to provide.
- Model the indicators
- Import the staff
- Draw the organogram
- Configure leave calendars
- Build the dashboards
A starting point for your workspace.
Preloaded indicators and workflow structures give your team a starting point. Setup depends on your data, templates and approval roles.
Humanitarian indicators
Documented and grouped by sector. Select and review the entries relevant to your project within your plan limits.
Project-planning tools
Plan projects with problem and objective trees, logframes, stakeholder records, RACI and change control.
Governance tools
RACI, organogram, change-control and safeguarding — configured, not bolted on.
Field-reporting types
The six report types country teams actually file, from activities to incidents.
Designed for organizations
Each organization accesses its own records according to assigned permissions.
Nine languages today
Nine interface languages. Coverage varies by screen; untranslated text falls back to English.
Four rules we run on.
The same rules apply whether we're training a cohort in Mandalay or shipping a release.
Field-first
Features start as a request from a country office, not a roadmap workshop. If the field doesn't need it, we don't build it.
Honest fit
We discuss fit openly and walk through relevant workflows using realistic sample data.
Budget-line pricing
Published prices help teams plan a budget. Confirm the applicable price, limits and terms with us before purchasing.
Localisation is part of the product
Built in English and Myanmar together, then extended to nine interface languages. Localisation is part of the product, not an afterthought.
