Platforms

Our own products on top. Proven platforms underneath.

Two kinds of platform sit behind EdZola’s work. Our products add AI that does real work on the systems you run. The platforms underneath are chosen for the problem, and the data is always yours.

EdZola products

AI that does a whole job, with a person still in charge.

Each product came out of repeated consulting work: the same follow-ups, interviews, audits and receipts, done by hand in organisation after organisation. Each one keeps people on the decisions that matter.

Mission 01 · pilot open

DozAI

Run

Hand an AI teammate a whole workflow: the follow-ups, checks and paperwork your team repeats every cycle.

Explore DozAI

Best for: High-volume work with clear evidence and an obvious point where a person decides: placement follow-up, missing documents, grantee milestone evidence.
In practice: Mission 01 reaches each programme graduate on WhatsApp and voice, in their language, and verifies job, employer and changes at 30, 90 and 180 days.

Zolabs

Listen

AI-led phone interviews in people’s own languages, for evaluations, programme feedback and qualitative evidence.

Explore Zolabs

Best for: Outcome studies, journey-based follow-ups and beneficiary feedback, when forms lose the story and you can’t send an interviewer everywhere.
In practice: Every finding stays connected to the original conversation, so a researcher can check the words behind a theme before it becomes a claim.

FundZola

Account

Money in, money out. Donations, receipts, approvals, grant tagging and fund reports, with every rupee traceable to a donor and a grant.

Explore FundZola

Best for: Finance teams that rebuild imports, 80G receipts, grant-wise spend and utilisation reports by hand every month.
Three shapes: An AI layer on Zoho Books, a finance app on Zoho Creator, or a custom application, depending on where your finance work already lives.

Platforms we build on

The smallest stack your team can support.

We don’t resell software. We pick the platform that fits how your programme runs, who will maintain it and what it will cost to run in year three.

Zoho

Much of our systems work runs on Zoho. It gives nonprofits tailored forms, linked records, role-based access and automation without maintaining a custom codebase, at a cost that still makes sense in year three. When a workflow outgrows configuration, we build on Zoho Catalyst so it still sits alongside your Zoho data.

Creator · MIS and case work
CRM and Bigin · donors
Books · accounting
People · HR
Projects · delivery
Catalyst · custom apps and functions

Choose it when: The workflow is specific to your programme, your team needs to own and adjust it, and Indian compliance such as 80G, FCRA and CSR fields matters.
Look elsewhere when: The data model would have to bend to fit the platform, or the app is public-facing at a scale the licence model doesn’t suit.

Claude

Claude partner

We use Claude in our own work every day, and build it into partners’ systems: hands-on training for leadership teams, AI agents that work on your own data, and CRMs that can be asked questions instead of only updated.

Leadership coaching
Agents on your data
Connected Zoho CRM
Skills for repeat work

Choose it when: Your team writes, analyses and reports every week, and you want AI working inside those tasks with a named person reviewing what it produces.
Look elsewhere when: There is no one to review the output, or the process itself is unclear. Fix the workflow first; AI makes a broken process faster, not better.

Frappe & open source

Own it and host it

Some organisations need to own the code and decide where their data lives. For them we build on the Frappe framework, ERPNext and other open-source stacks, with no per-user licence and nothing locked to a vendor.

Frappe framework
ERPNext · finance and inventory
Self-hosted deployments
Open data models

Choose it when: Large teams make per-user licences expensive, data must stay on your own servers, or a funder expects open infrastructure.
Look elsewhere when: No one will own hosting, updates and backups. Open source moves that responsibility to you, and we’ll plan for it before we build.

Custom code

When it earns its place

Sometimes no platform fits the programme without bending it. Then we build custom applications, kept as small as possible and documented so another team could maintain them.

Public-facing portals
Offline-first field apps
Integrations between tools
Data pipelines

Choose it when: The workflow is genuinely unusual, or volume and access needs outgrow what a configured platform can carry.
Look elsewhere when: A configured platform would do 90% of the job. Custom code is a long-term maintenance commitment, and we’ll say so.

Custom versus off-the-shelf →

How we choose

Four questions before any platform.

We ask these in the Scope stage of ImpactOS, before an estimate. If a spreadsheet answers them well enough, we’ll tell you.

01Does the workflow fit, or would it bend?
We map the real journey first, then see which platform carries it without workarounds.
02Who will maintain it after we leave?
A system your team can’t adjust becomes a system your team stops using.
03Where does the data need to live?
Consent, DPDP obligations and funder rules decide this before convenience does.
04What will it cost to run in year three?
Licences, support and changes, not just the build. We show the number up front.
