What does Oceanito do?
chevron down icon
We help nonprofits solve operational problems by connecting systems, automating manual work, improving reporting, and making organizational knowledge easier to access. Everything we build is designed around how nonprofit teams actually work.
Who do you work with?
chevron down icon
Primarily small to mid-sized nonprofits with lean teams and limited technical capacity. Our clients typically struggle with manual reporting, disconnected systems, or scattered knowledge.
Do we need technical staff to work with you?
chevron down icon
No. We design solutions your team can use and maintain without dedicated technical staff. Training and documentation are included in every engagement.
Do we need to be AI-ready before working with you?
chevron down icon
No. Many organizations come to us before they have an AI strategy, governance framework, or clean data environment. We help assess where you are today and identify practical next steps based on your goals and capacity.
How is Oceanito different from off-the-shelf software?
chevron down icon
We don't sell a product you have to adapt to. We build custom solutions shaped around your workflows, your systems, and your capacity.
What does an engagement typically look like?
chevron down icon
It depends on the scope, but most projects run 4 to 12 weeks. We start with discovery, build iteratively with your input, and stay involved through handoff and beyond.
How much does it cost?
chevron down icon
Every project is scoped based on your goals, systems, and organizational capacity. Most engagements begin with a discovery conversation so we can recommend the right approach and provide transparent pricing.
What systems do you work with?
chevron down icon
We work with the tools you already use. CRMs, spreadsheets, cloud storage, finance systems, HR platforms. The goal is to connect what's there, not replace it.
Will we need to replace our current systems?
chevron down icon
Usually not. We generally work with the systems you already use and focus on improving how information flows between them. Our goal is to reduce friction, not create another platform to manage.
What's the best way to get started?
chevron down icon
Reach out through our contact page. We'll set up a conversation to understand your challenges and see if there's a fit.
Do you offer ongoing support?
chevron down icon
Yes. Every engagement includes documentation, training, and post-launch check-ins. We also offer ongoing support for organizations that need it.
How do you approach data governance and security?
chevron down icon
We design every solution with data stewardship and permissions in mind. You retain ownership of your data and define what is accessible, to whom, and under what conditions.
