Case Study: The Salvation Army doubles donation funds with ClearScale’s modernized AWS mobile donation platform

The Salvation Army doubles funds collected with ClearScale

The Salvation Army, a major nonprofit organization, faced challenges with its mobile donation application, including inefficient front-end components, a payment gateway that could only handle 25 transactions per second, and an inability to track where donations were made. They partnered with the AWS consulting firm ClearScale to modernize the application and address these critical issues.

ClearScale implemented a comprehensive solution by rebuilding the front-end with VueJS, replacing the payment processor with Stripe, and adding location tracking and serverless reporting using AWS services. The results were dramatic: payment processing capacity increased to over 4,000 donations per second, and the amount of funds collected doubled in one year. The solution also provided The Salvation Army with insightful donor location data and a seamless, secure experience for donors.
