Non-profits are often bogged down by administrative tasks like managing volunteer onboarding, donor agreements and compliance documents. These processes are typically time-consuming and disconnected, leaving organizations less time to focus on their mission.

V-Net: Empowering Non-Profits with Seamless Document Management

V-Net is an innovative platform designed to streamline workflows for non-profit organizations. By leveraging DocuSign's powerful APIs, V-Net provides a seamless end-to-end solution for managing documents such as volunteer onboarding forms, donor agreements and compliance records. Our mission is to help non-profits focus on what they do best—creating impact—while we handle the paperwork.

Inspiration

Non-profits often struggle with disconnected systems, manual workflows, and inefficient document management. Inspired by their challenges, we built V-Net to provide a centralized, automated platform that simplifies these processes, saving time and resources.

What it Does

• Volunteer Onboarding: Automates collection and signing of consent and registration forms.
• Donor Management: Simplifies donation agreements with embedded signing capabilities.
• Document Tracking: Provides real-time monitoring of document completion and submission statuses.
• Data Integration: Unifies previously disconnected data systems into a single platform.

How We Built It

1. Backend:

   • Python with Flask for managing API integrations and server-side logic.
   • SQLite for storing metadata and document logs.

2. APIs:

   • DocuSign eSignature API: For document preparation, sending and signing.
   • Monitor API: To track document completion in real-time.
   • Web Forms API: For simplified form creation and submission.

3. Frontend:

   • A responsive web interface using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

4. File Validation:

   • Integrated file validation for size (5MB max) and aspect ratio (3:2) using Pillow.

Challenges We Faced

• Integrating multiple DocuSign APIs into a single platform.
• Validating files for both size and aspect ratio while maintaining upload efficiency.
• Designing a user-friendly interface for non-technical users.

Accomplishments

• Delivered a scalable, functional solution within 1200hours.
• Successfully integrated real-time document tracking using DocuSign Monitor API.
• Created a user-friendly platform that simplifies workflows for non-profits.

What we Learned

• The power of DocuSign’s ecosystem to solve real-world challenges.
• Best practices for API integration and workflow optimization.
• The importance of creating accessible technology for non-technical users.
