Case Study: BoardSpot achieves rapid feature deployment and strong data security with Platform.sh

BoardSpot SaaS solution frees nonprofit boards to focus on good works

BoardSpot is a SaaS board-management platform spun out of Oxbow Labs to help nonprofits run meetings, share documents, and govern remotely. Built with Platform.sh, BoardSpot’s challenge was to rapidly deploy new, secure features at enterprise scale while keeping performance and data residency across global customers.

Platform.sh provided a multienvironment workflow, GitLab integration, regional hosting, and out‑of‑the‑box security/compliance features (including deploy hooks that sanitize data), enabling concurrent feature development and automated fleet-wide deployments. As a result, BoardSpot now ships new features weekly, fixes bugs and deploys patches within minutes with minimal downtime, deployed a UNCDF vote‑certification workflow and integrated video conferencing quickly, and can offer steep discounts to small nonprofits thanks to Platform.sh’s performance and cost efficiencies.
