Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The primary problem that ActBlue solves for us is creating an interface for online contributions. We don’t have the size of an organization where we could design something this well. It also has very good contribution location tools as well as good data visualization, although we don’t use it as much because it doesn’t include all our contributions

Pros

  • user interface
  • data visualization
  • contribution search

Cons

  • i want to add checks to it
  • website is down from time to time
  • in sight graphic design

Return on Investment

  • increased contributions
  • increased flexibility
  • more data understanding
