Application health assessment

a 130-point inspection & development roadmap

Nonprofits run on mission-critical software – donor platforms, case management systems, and legacy tools – often patched together under tight budgets. When outdated systems slow your impact or create security risks, it can drain time and resources from already stretched-thin teams.

The first step is knowing what you're dealing with.

Vertical Motion’s Application Health Assessment (AHA) audits your tech stack for vulnerabilities, inefficiencies, and hidden costs. Like a 130-point vehicle inspection, it identifies urgent fixes and gives you a clear roadmap for reducing risk and restoring performance.

Our lightweight app for STARS Air Ambulance helped their flight crew calculate patient oxygen intake, making it easier for techs to calibrate flight equipment. Here’s what they had to say about working with us:

"We enjoyed working with Vertical Motion for our app development and appreciated their strong technical knowledge and responsiveness to our requests; it was a very smooth process and we would be happy to work with Vertical Motion again."

Purpose-built software for your nonprofit

Custom functionality, custom fit

Every nonprofit is unique in their approach to volunteer management, community outreach, and sourcing funding. Whether you’re serving your local community or on an international mission, we can help build solutions that align with your workflows and organizational reach.

Custom workflows

Off-the-shelf solutions are often good enough to get your nonprofit off the ground – but over time, they can become limiting. Custom software can help you create faster, more intuitive workflows that reduce overhead costs and manual tasks.

Seamless integrations

Using powerful APIs, we can connect your systems to create a unified ecosystem that connects data between the tools you use. Reduce data entry and errors to help your team focus on what matters most, when every second counts.

Nonprofit Software Maintenance

Let's take a look under the hood

Is your nonprofit software due for an upgrade? We specialize in helping nonprofits modernize their digital toolkit to better serve their mission. If your software isn’t performing as well as it should, our Application Health Assessment can help. We’ll test, diagnose, and fix any issues to ensure your tools are running smoothly and efficiently.

From optimizing databases to enhancing security and usability, we can breathe fresh life into older systems. We’ll help you reduce downtime, enhance visibility, and make your software future-ready for new upgrades.
