Petition Management Platform for IAKS e.V.

IAKS Deutschland e.V. is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving sports facilities in Germany. To effectively bring their causes to public attention, the NGO needed a digital petition platform — user-friendly, privacy-compliant, and free from technical dependencies.

Pro bono project: Laramate subsidized this project, enabling a larger feature set — because digital tools for civic engagement should not fail due to budget constraints.

Pro bono project

Subsidized development for a larger feature set within limited NGO budget

The Challenge

NGOs and associations need simple yet effective digital solutions. However, many existing petition platforms are technically complex, inflexible, or tie the organization to external providers — with little control over their own data or how campaigns are presented.

Existing systems offered no solution: Either too complex to operate, too rigid to customize, or tied to hidden dependencies. IAKS needed their own platform with full control.

The Solution

We developed a custom-built platform focused on ease of use, automated campaign management, and complete data sovereignty.

Intuitive user experience

Supporters can quickly find, sign, and share petitions — without technical barriers, optimized for mobile devices.

Automated campaign tools

Email notifications and social media integrations increase petition reach and keep supporters engaged.

Real-time statistics

Organizations track petition progress in real time — signature counts, growth trends, and campaign performance at a glance.

Privacy-compliant

Security and confidentiality of supporter data were a top priority — GDPR-compliant and hosted on the client's own server.

Independent and transparent

A distinctive aspect of our work: complete transparency and client independence. While we handle technical operations on request, code and infrastructure always belong to the client.

Client owns the source code

The entire source code belongs to the client — full control, no vendor lock-in, free to switch providers at any time.

Dedicated server

All data resides on the client's own server at Hetzner — no third-party dependency for sensitive supporter data.

Maintenance & monitoring

Professional server administration, regular updates, and system monitoring — so the NGO can focus on their core mission.

The Result

With our platform, IAKS was able to double the number of signatures within the first 6 months and advance an important legislative change. Thanks to the intuitive interface and automated processes, staff have more time for their core responsibilities.
