For more than 20 years, Brick River has been solving tech problems for mission-driven organizations and companies.
Our easy-to-use, integrated software addresses the most common causes of tech pain.
Your website doesn’t talk to your contacts database. Staff are inputting the same contacts into two different systems, leading to extra work, errors, and migraine-level frustration.
Brick River Solution: The Brick River software is integrated by design with all parts working together. For example, you enter contacts in one place and they are available to be used by any part of the system–which means any contact can play many roles at once, such as donor, newsletter subscriber, attendee, board member. . .
A diagram showing all of your software and the connections between the parts looks like a map of the NYC subway system. Replacing any piece of software would mean rebuilding all of the connections.
Brick River Solution: The CMS is your portal to all of the features and modules. A simple navigation bar puts contacts, emails, events, and content a click away. Zen-like, calm-inducing. You won’t need a therapist to treat you for Data Overload Syndrome.
You invested in integrator software to make connections between your website and your contacts database. The salespeople said it would be an easy job. Six months later, the consultants are asking about the ground rules for the Yankee Swap.
Brick River Solution: We thrive on collaboration and we hate surprises (including surprise parties). All of our contracts include an estimated range of hours informed by our in-depth planning process. We provide ongoing support to set up and trouble-shoot the Brick River system and we’re always available to talk about additional work such as customized add-ons.
A template-driven platform was a great way to get you up and running quickly online, but lately you’re finding the templates are bogging you down rather than freeing you up. Your web staff is spending a lot of time searching for templates and then trying to bend them to meet your needs.
Brick River Solution: We help you figure out what you need and then we build customized websites that match your brand, your workflows, and your customers’ needs.
