Our story
Hikaya, which means story in Arabic works with nonprofits to introduce a set of integrated tools that re-engineer how data are used within these organizations.
By building open source solutions on common data standards, we help leading nonprofits worldwide improve their delivery of goods and services to those most in need while making reporting to funders more transparent.
Data Ecosystem
We believe the way to transform into a digital organization is through utilizing a set of integrated tools that promote sharing and consistency across the organization.
Data Standardization
By investing in upfront system design, we build tools and processes that help standardize data and keep it up-to-date. This helps us reap the benefits of our systems by making it easier to roll up data and answer common questions like “Where do we work”, “Who do we work with?”, and “What did we achieve?”
Data Collection
Digitizing the way we collect and process data has never been easier with access to affordable, rugged technology to operate in low connectivity settings. We can eliminate manual entry and data cleaning steps in record time while improving the flow of data through real-time monitoring.
Data Storage
By integrating data in a centralized and consistent manner, we can reduce duplication and encourage organizations to access more of their data for in depth analysis.
Data Visualization
Once data starts to work its way through our tools, it is coupled with automated and self-service reports and dashboards that give greater insight into all levels of the organization. By utilizing modern business intelligence and easy-to-use visualization tools, organizations can access relevant and timely information for informed decision making.
Commitment to Open Source
Our team is committed to developing solutions using an iterative, human-centered design approach and support the use of open source software across the nonprofit community.
