Improved Speed and Scalability of Fundraising Intelligence Platform
The summary.
iWave wanted to replace a fundraising data management platform. We developed the MVP, and set up the ETL data pipelines, then optimized the app for mobile. The custom software helps iWave's clients to achieve their fundraising goals.
“One of the most exciting things about the new iWave is something you can’t see or touch. We’ve built an incredibly robust new backend to the platform that has laid the foundation for future innovation and growth. For our clients, this will mean faster and more reliable results, more functionality, as well as additional data and integrations.”

iWave compiles wealth, philanthropic, and demographic data for fundraising teams to maximize their donation income. Their data-rich platform gives organizations the confidence to request donations from the right person at the right time.
The challenge.
iWave wanted to replace one of its platforms, which was becoming difficult to scale and maintain. They developed it using now deprecated technologies and costly third-party service licenses. To upgrade the platform, iWave needed to migrate to modern languages and frameworks. They also wanted the new platform hosted on AWS.
iWave was performing many manual processes to extract donor information. They needed to move from depending on Excel and macros to a custom software solution. The company required a team of expert developers to set up ETL pipelines, build an MVP, and optimize the UX for mobile.

The solution.
Our engineers worked on developing a more robust platform capable of presenting more accessible, real-time information.
All technologies used.
The outcome.
The new iWave solution has an updated user experience with a modern, accessible, and responsive design. This intuitive interface delivers comprehensive donor information.
We built the platform on a faster, more powerful, and more scalable architecture. The data is more up-to-date, thanks to algorithms that can turn quality data into actionable information.
In 2 years and 6 months we:
- Created a roadmap for their custom solution and developed an MVP
- Developed a new version of iWave's software that extracts donor information from numerous sources and populates the database
- Improved the UX with new navigation and layout enhancements
- Optimized the new platform for mobile devices. Accessing existing profiles or scoring a prospect while on the go is more manageable
- Made upgrades that streamline key processes, allowing users to identify and qualify more major gift prospects
- Set up and maintained ETL data pipelines on AWS infrastructure.
The custom software helps iWave's clients to achieve their fundraising goals.
