Our mission
Molnix is an impact business tightly connected with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. This means that both our business output itself, and the way we work, aim to have a positive impact on the global society, on our planet and on the economic development. This page describes our key goals and methods.
Goal 11: Sustainable cities and communities
Target 11.5: Reduce the adverse effects of natural disasters
At the core of Molnix Rapid Personnel Manager, is the goal of enabling communities to prepare, respond, and mitigate the effects of crises such as natural disasters. Our solution enhances resilience through managing training for, mobilization to and monitoring of, efforts that aim to ensure that everyone can live a safe and dignified life. Our customers use the solution to create preparedness rosters covering all engagement modalities such as volunteering, employment, subcontracting and seconding, to be ready when a crisis strikes and to work to effect that it never strikes in the first place.
Goal 9: Industries, innovation, and infrastructure
Target 9.c: Universal access to information and communication technology
To make the service delivery sustainable, Molnix RPM is built on open source technologies. It relies on open source platforms, frameworks and libraries to ensure sustainable software stack free from vendor lock-in and supplier risk. Some of the key advantages are cost-efficiency, customization and flexibility, active community supports, security, collaboration for innovation and development, scalable infrastructure, longevity, direct community feedback and request for software’s future improvement, and ethical considerations.
The most significant choice of open source technology is the development framework. In the case of Molnix RPM, it was concluded that Laravel brings the best in security, available tooling, and ecosystem of libraries for our needs. These enable us to bring the highest possible quality software while accelerating our development rate and cost efficiency by allowing us to focus on our core product rather than re-implementing basic functionality. It also makes it easier to adapt the software to varying needs across different customers.
Molnix is also contributing back to the open source solutions that we use. The contributions include code, bug reports, documentation, testing, funding and providing community support. We are even publishing many complete functionalities created by Molnix as libraries and projects. Beyond maintaining a working open source ecosystem, this also helps our team build a name for themselves and increase work satisfaction.
