Danamojo aimed to empower NGOs by providing a seamless SaaS platform for online fundraising, enhancing both donation collection and donor engagement. They offered diverse payment options—including credit cards, debit cards, net banking, and facilitated cheque and cash pickups—to simplify the donation process. Donors received personalized Thank You emails and 80G receipts on behalf of the NGOs, reinforcing their immediate impact on the cause.
Despite having a functioning application, Danamojo needed to accelerate their development process and professionalize their development and maintenance practices. They approached CodeFire to add resources and bring a more structured, efficient approach to development and sustenance engineering.

Our Solution
CodeFire initiated the engagement by assigning a full-time dedicated developer, supplemented by part-time Quality Assurance (QA) and Project Management resources. The primary objective was to thoroughly understand the danamojo application both functionally and technically. While the application appeared straightforward on the surface, a deeper dive revealed it to be a complex and nuanced system.
Understanding that merely reading the code would not provide sufficient insight, we began with comprehensive application setup and knowledge transfer sessions. To enhance our grasp of the application's intricacies, we undertook smaller tasks within the core functional domain. This hands-on approach enabled us to learn by doing, which proved invaluable in understanding the application's inner workings.
In parallel, we focused on several critical areas to professionalize the development process:
- Environment Audit: Conducted a thorough audit of the current production and test environments from both security and deployment perspectives to ensure they were robust and secure.
- Process Streamlining: Established a code repository and implemented streamlined processes for development and deployment. This included setting up version control systems and continuous integration pipelines to enhance efficiency and reliability.
- Tool Integration: Introduced project management tools like Jira to track progress and manage tasks effectively. Clear communication protocols were established to facilitate seamless collaboration between all stakeholders.
Given the complexity of the danamojo application, it took approximately three months for our team to become fully acclimated. This period was crucial for building a solid foundation of knowledge, enabling us to confidently tackle more challenging tasks thereafter.
By bringing a structured and professional approach to development and sustenance engineering, CodeFire significantly accelerated danamojo's development process. Our team's efforts ensured that the platform became more robust, scalable, and capable of supporting the vital work that NGOs do in fundraising and donor engagement.
