Caseworkers spending 30 minutes per client on data entry across two or three systems because your current case management tool doesn't connect intake, service delivery, and outcome data in one record?
Funders requesting outcome data at the end of the year and your team spending a week manually extracting and calculating the numbers because the system wasn't built to produce the report format they need?
Beneficiary Case Management Software for Nonprofits
Custom case management software for social service organisations, NGOs, and community nonprofits who need intake, service planning, referral tracking, and outcome measurement built around their specific programme model -- not a generic social care template.
Off-the-shelf case management platforms model generic social care workflows. When your programme has specific eligibility criteria, a defined service model, or outcome measurement requirements tied to your funder's reporting framework, a custom system built around your programme logic produces better data and takes less time from caseworkers.
Beneficiary intake with demographic data, eligibility assessment, and consent documentation
Service plan management with goals, assigned services, frequency, and responsible worker
Referral tracking to partner organisations with outcome follow-up and closed-loop reporting
Standardised outcome measurement at intake, review, and case closure with aggregate funder reporting
RaftLabs builds custom case management software for social service nonprofits and NGOs. The platform covers beneficiary intake with demographic data and eligibility assessment, service plan management with goals and assigned services, referral tracking to partner organisations, standardised outcome measurement administered at intake and case closure, and multi-programme case management with appropriate data sharing and confidentiality controls. Most projects deliver in 12 to 16 weeks at a fixed cost.

When your programme model is too specific for a generic case management platform
Social service programmes are not generic. A domestic violence refuge programme has specific intake protocols, risk assessment tools, and confidentiality requirements that differ fundamentally from a youth employment programme or a food bank. A homelessness prevention service models its cases around tenancy status, housing need, and benefit entitlement rather than the generic presenting problem and service type fields in a standard case management system. The caseworker who spends a quarter of their shift working around the system's data model to record what actually happened with a client is a caseworker who has less time for clients -- and whose data is less reliable as a result.
We build case management software around your programme model rather than asking your programme to fit the software. We have built complex multi-stakeholder data platforms where data privacy, role-based access, and outcome measurement are first-class requirements. We understand the data architecture of social service delivery and the reporting expectations of statutory and institutional funders.
What we build
Beneficiary intake and registration
Intake workflow with the demographic data, presenting need, eligibility screening, and risk assessment fields specific to your programme -- not the generic fields of a standard intake form. Consent documentation with the specific consent types required for your programme: consent to hold data, consent to share with partner organisations, and consent to contact for follow-up. Eligibility assessment with the criteria and decision logic for your programme's eligibility rules, recording the basis for the eligibility determination rather than just the outcome. Duplicate client detection at intake to prevent multiple records for the same person across different access points to the service. Anonymous case management for programmes where retaining identifying information is a risk to the beneficiary -- key-coded records where the link between the record and the individual is held separately with appropriate access controls.
Service plan and case management
Service plan with goals agreed with the beneficiary, the specific services and interventions assigned to address each goal, the frequency and duration of each service, and the caseworker responsible for delivery. Case note recording for each contact with the beneficiary -- date, type of contact, content summary, and any actions arising -- with the note attached to the case record and searchable by date and contact type. Task and action tracking for the caseworker -- tasks arising from case notes, service plan milestones, and follow-up actions from partner referrals, all visible in the caseworker's task view alongside their case list. Case review scheduling at the frequency required by your programme model, with the review record capturing the current status of each goal and any changes to the service plan. Escalation workflow for cases that require senior review or multi-disciplinary team involvement, with the escalation recorded and the senior staff notified within the system.
Referral management
Outgoing referral tracking to partner organisations with the referring caseworker, the receiving organisation, the referral date, and the referral reason recorded. Referral outcome follow-up with a scheduled review date for each open referral, and the outcome recorded when the partner organisation responds -- accepted, declined, or waiting list. Closed-loop referral management where the receiving organisation uses the platform to confirm acceptance and update the referral outcome rather than requiring a phone call or email from your caseworker to follow up. Incoming referral management for organisations receiving referrals from statutory agencies, hospitals, or other nonprofits -- the referral recorded at receipt with the source, the date, and the priority, and a caseworker assigned within the configured response timeframe. Referral pattern reporting showing which partner organisations receive the most referrals from your programme, what the acceptance rates are, and how long the average referral takes to resolve.
Outcome measurement
Standardised assessment tools administered at intake, review, and case closure -- the specific validated tools used by your programme integrated into the case record rather than administered on paper and entered separately. Score comparison across time points for each beneficiary, with the change score calculated automatically and displayed against the minimum clinically important difference or the benchmark for your population. Aggregate outcome reporting across the full programme -- the percentage of clients showing improvement at case closure, the distribution of outcomes by presenting problem, and the outcome data in the format required by your primary funders. Funder-specific report generation where different funders require the same underlying data presented in different formats, with each report generated from the same case data without manual reformatting.
Multi-programme case management
Multi-programme case management for organisations delivering several distinct programme types to overlapping beneficiary populations. A single beneficiary who accesses the food bank, the debt advice service, and the employability programme has one identifier that connects their activity across all three programmes, with appropriate data sharing rules between programmes based on the consent they gave and the confidentiality requirements of each programme. Programme-specific data visible only to the staff of that programme, with a limited shared view for staff who need to see whether a beneficiary is engaged with other services without accessing the programme-specific case content. Aggregate reporting at the organisation level showing the total number of unique beneficiaries served, the programmes they accessed, and the services delivered across the full organisation without double-counting individuals who accessed multiple programmes.
Reporting and funder compliance
Funder reporting templates configured for each active grant or contract, pulling the data fields and aggregate counts the funder requires from the case management records without manual data extraction. Service delivery reporting with outputs by programme, period, and location -- number of clients seen, number of contacts made, number of referrals completed -- in the format used for contract performance monitoring. Impact reporting with outcome data for clients who have completed the programme, showing the proportion achieving the target outcomes and the change scores for the standardised assessments. Data export in standard formats for organisations that submit data to national databases or sector benchmarking schemes. GDPR-compliant data management with retention periods configured per data category, automated deletion of records past the retention period, and a data access log for subject access requests.
Frequently asked questions
Sensitive programme data requires specific architectural decisions, not just a permission setting. For domestic violence and refuge programmes, the beneficiary's identifying information and location data are the highest-risk elements -- we design the data model to separate the identifying information from the case content, with access to the link table held by a very small number of authorised staff. For substance misuse programmes, the programme records may be protected by specific regulatory requirements that restrict sharing even within the organisation. We review the specific confidentiality requirements for your programme during discovery and design the access control architecture around them before writing any code. Building confidentiality correctly from the start is significantly easier than retrofitting it into an existing system.
Yes. We implement the specific validated assessment tools your programme uses -- common tools include the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale, the PHQ-9 and GAD-7, the UCLA Loneliness Scale, the Recovery Star, and tools developed by sector bodies for specific client populations. If your programme uses a custom tool developed internally or by your funder, we implement that tool with the same scoring logic and benchmark data. We map the assessment schedule -- which tools are administered at which time points, and under what circumstances -- to the case record structure during discovery. Scoring algorithms for validated tools are implemented exactly as the tool's scoring guide specifies, with the calculated score and the cut-off points for clinical interpretation displayed alongside the raw item responses.
Yes. Statutory contract performance monitoring for local authority and government-funded services typically requires monthly or quarterly data submissions showing outputs against contracted targets -- client numbers, contact volumes, referral counts, and specific service activities. We configure the output reporting for each contract based on the performance framework in the contract schedule, so the monthly report is generated directly from the case management data rather than compiled manually. For organisations with multiple contracts from different commissioners, each reporting format is configured separately and generated independently. Where commissioners require data to be submitted through a specific portal or in a specific file format, we generate the data in that format.
A case management platform covering intake, service plan management, case notes, and basic funder reporting for a single programme typically runs $35,000 to $65,000. Adding referral management, standardised outcome measurement with validated assessment tools, and multi-programme case management typically brings the total to $60,000 to $100,000. A full platform including multi-programme confidentiality controls, statutory contract reporting, and GDPR data management for a larger organisation delivering multiple funded programmes typically runs $80,000 to $150,000. We price every project at a fixed cost agreed before development starts.
