Who is 7Senses?
7Senses is a globally active organization dedicated to Participatory Action Research (PAR). Their mission is to empower local communities worldwide to co-develop sustainable, context-specific solutions to complex societal issues. By facilitating collaboration between researchers, participants, and stakeholders, 7Senses enables real-world impact through inclusive research practices on an international scale.
The Challenges
As 7Senses expanded its reach across multiple continents, the organization encountered growing communication and coordination challenges within its international research projects. Managing large volumes of data, facilitating secure cross-border collaboration, and ensuring consistent supervision and engagement became increasingly complex. They needed a robust, scalable communication management solution that could support knowledge sharing, streamline project oversight, and cater to both research and administrative needs. Most importantly, they sought a platform that could be launched quickly and adapted easily—without the delays of traditional software development.
The Solution
To meet these challenges, 7Senses partnered with WEM to build a powerful communication management application using no-code development. Leveraging WEM’s enterprise-grade no-code platform, they created a fully functional app in just weeks—complete with a secure document center, an interactive world map for project visibility, and both public and private discussion forums. The application also included an administration dashboard and a news portal, all integrated into a single platform. Designed with flexibility and scalability in mind, the no-code solution allowed 7Senses to quickly tailor the software to their unique workflows and user needs. This enabled fast deployment in the Netherlands, with plans for rollout in the UK and other European countries.
The Positive Business Impacts:
- Global Reach: Established a unified digital platform for international knowledge sharing
- 90% Faster Roll-Out: Reduced development time from six months to just six weeks
- Enhanced Collaboration: Streamlined supervision and communication across global research teams
- Scalable Operations: Enabled expansion into new regions without added technical burden
- Improved Efficiency: Strengthened internal processes for both researchers and administrators
By harnessing the power of WEM’s no-code platform, 7Senses successfully launched a scalable, feature-rich communication management system that now supports global collaboration and research impact.
