Case Study: Happen Ventures achieves scalable sustainability portal reengineering with Fively

Happen Ventures diverts 85% of landfill waste with Fively

Happen Ventures, a reuse-first company focused on sustainability, faced challenges with its no-code web portal built on Bubble and Xano. The platform lacked the scalability, flexibility, and performance needed to handle growing demand for its service connecting donors with surplus items to nonprofits. They partnered with Fively to re-engineer the portal into a robust, custom solution.

Fively re-engineered the platform by building a new architecture using Nest.js, PostgreSQL, and AWS for the back-end and React with MUI for the front-end. The solution included automated matching algorithms, real-time notifications, and logistics tracking. The revamped portal, handled by Fively, now efficiently manages thousands of listings, diverts over 85% of items from landfills, and provides a secure, user-friendly experience for donors and recipients.
