Action Stack Labs

Sometimes you need more than software.

Sometimes a self-serve tool is not enough. Labs is the hands-on part of Action Stack for problems that need someone to get in there and make the thing work.

Tell us what you are trying to make happen. We will work out the technical bit.

Labs has limited capacity and works by invitation, referral and selected enquiries.

There is a thing that needs to work

We help make it work.

You do not need to know what the technical solution is called. Start with the outcome, the blockage or the strange thing that keeps going wrong.

Set it up.

You have something new and need help getting it working properly: a website, form, fundraising system, supporter tool, database or another digital system.

Connect it.

You already have several things, but they do not work together properly. We can connect systems, move information between them and reduce manual work.

Automate it.

You are doing something repeatedly that a computer should probably be doing for you. We can automate processes, supporter journeys, administration and repetitive tasks.

Fix the weird stuff.

Something is broken, messy, unusual or difficult to name. Tell us what you are trying to do. If we can solve it, we will tell you.

Your exact problem might not be on the list.

That is fine. These are examples, not a service catalogue.

  • New digital systems
  • Websites and forms
  • Fundraising and payments
  • Supporter journeys
  • Migrations and data clean-up
  • Connected tools
  • Dashboards and reporting
  • Unusual technical builds

Work with Labs

Need someone who can build the thing?

Labs can work behind the scenes with organisations, consultants, agencies and technology partners who need extra capacity for implementation, systems, automation or unusual technical work.

Talk to us about working together

This might include

  • Overflow implementation work
  • Specialist technical work
  • Migrations and setup
  • Connections between systems
  • Behind-the-scenes delivery where appropriate
  • A particular problem for a partner's client

Action Stack handles what should be simple and self-serve. Labs steps in when the work genuinely gets complicated.

Don't have a code?

Tell us what you're trying to solve.

If it sounds like something Labs can help with, we will get in touch. You do not need to know what the technical solution is. Just tell us the problem or what you are trying to make happen.
