Built for the NGO sector

Proudly part of

What we offer

We offer three options: build a custom solution, use a ready one, or consult us along the way.

Build something custom

If nothing ready-made fits, we will build it with you.

Custom Built

From prototype to product, with Welthungerhilfe

Welthungerhilfe had already proven the idea in a prototype of their own — the concept worked, the vision was clear. What it needed was the engineering to carry it into the real world. That's where we came in.

Together with their team, we built the real thing: a proper backend and database underneath, one responsive codebase as sharp on a phone in the field as on a desk, an interface people use without a guide. Their product, running on their infrastructure, built to last.

Whatever you're trying to build, we can do the same for you: one team with yours, from the first decision to a product that lasts.

Use a ready solution

Deploy something we've already built and proven in the field. Less cost, less risk, faster launch.

Consult and build capacity

Get expert guidance when you need it, and learn skills that you will keep.

Let's build it together

Tell us what you're trying to achieve and we'll scope what's possible, from a small line of code to a full application.

People in Need

We are one of the largest non-profits in Central Europe; we work in relief and development across dozens of countries. Our programmes run in some of the harshest conditions — and increasingly on digital software.

Digital Unit

We are a cross-functional product and engineering team at PIN. We build, use, and maintain digital solutions for our own operations and programmes — and for other NGOs with similar needs.
