Scaling Social Cops data platform with Crewscale team

Background

Founded in 2013, Social Cops is a nonprofit that seeks to build a brighter future. It is a smart data platform with improved BI and empowered decision-making.

Social Cops has a mission to confront the world’s most critical problems through data intelligence. Working with governments, businesses, nonprofits, and philanthropies, Social Cops aims to empower others to make better decisions and build a brighter future.

It has also built “Disha”, India’s national data platform. It is a single place for data from 40 flagship schemes across 20 ministries, used by district officials across India.

Challenges and objectives

The organization had an abundance of data. So much disorganized data made it difficult for Social Cops to make decisions, which is a common problem for global nonprofits.

Data cleaning is time-consuming. Whereas analyzing data and sharing findings with stakeholders is also problematic without sufficient resources. To cover all this, they wanted to perform data intelligence.

They needed the data to help make their final decisions and drive their plans into action. Data for designing a national health scheme, opening new stores, orchestrating a large-scale fundraising plan. In fact, they also wanted some to invest in international female empowerment initiatives.
