Custom CRM for a Non-Profit
The Challenge
Thriving Families is a non-profit organization with a mission to empower women and their families to thrive during pregnancy and beyond.
A standard out-of-the-box customer relationship management (CRM) wasn’t going to handle all of the variables without extensive customization. It was time to shift to a new, customizable and user-friendly central database system to help serve their participants and team members.
COMPANY INFO:
- Headquarters: Denver, CO
- Employees: 2-10
- Industry: Non-profit
Thriving Families managed up to six different disparate systems that employees would have to learn and track. Keeping the vast amount of participant and program data up to date without a centralized database meant longer hours for staff and lost information for participants.
OUR APPROACH
Based on the foundation of trust built while collaborating on an app that helped consolidate transportation data for Motherwise (Thriving Families’ parent organization) that saved them hours each day, Thriving Families saw Codence as the ideal FileMaker developer partner to design and build their custom CRM. Thriving Families found a patient and attentive partner in Codence that took the time to understand their specific needs.

Our Solution
It was clear Thriving Families wanted more than just a database that stored data. They needed to be able to securely create relationships between the information they were collecting about the moms and their families to better serve them with respect and dignity. That’s where Codence came in.
The final product is transforming the way Thriving Families serves their community. They can perform.
