Working together · Development partnership
Developed with the church – not just for it.
At ChurchDesk, tailor-made does not mean forcing requirements into a third-party system, but rather developing together what is missing: with your own product team, a clear project model and a roadmap on which dioceses and regional churches have direct influence.
Project model
Our promise for every development project.
How our way of working combines security and participation:
Reliable quality
We deliver what we promise – in time and quality. Our structured development process ensures that every feature is extensively tested before it arrives in your company.
Full transparency
You always know where the project stands: regular coordination, documented interim results and clear milestones.
Your influence counts
Your requirements and feedback shape the result – we actively involve you, not just at the beginning, but throughout the entire process.
And what we need from you for this.
Joint development is a two-way street – three things make projects efficient and well-targeted:
Information
In order to truly understand your requirements, we need descriptions and documents from your practice.
Expertise
Conversations with your technical experts and partners for other systems clarify questions efficiently.
Consideration of third parties
We strive for the best possible solution – sometimes third-party systems set the limits, and we openly state that.
Voice from the Archdiocese of Cologne.
With the introduction of ChurchDesk in all pastoral units from 2026, we are taking another big step in implementing our ambitious digitalisation strategy.
From practice
What emerged from joint development.
Intentions module
Created with southern German dioceses – mass foundations, legacies and stolen fees, mapped in an audit-proof manner.
Workflows
Developed on the basis of a shared vision with the Archdiocese of Cologne – and continued to develop together to this day.
Funeral calendar
Developed at the customer’s request and transferred to the “booking requests” tool.
Roadmap
What we're working on next.
Our own product team continuously develops the platform. Here are the topics – sequencing and scope are created together with our customers:
Central data protection control
Manage policies and consent across the organisation – compliance across all parishes, with centralised control.
Further reporting integrations
Automatically link member data from different sources.
CRM campaigns
Defined and implemented centrally – with an overview of all levels, from headquarters to the parish.
Payment transactions
Cash register and invoicing further developed – reliability at an enterprise level.
Room rental
Enquiry, booking, invoice and payment in one integrated process.
Key & inventory management
Easily manage keys and inventory – also for insurance purposes.
Self-service for members
An online portal for enquiries, processes and communication with the parish.
Service process
Detailed planning of church services with liturgy, texts and songs.
AI, used sensibly
In direct collaboration with customers – useful, ethical and secure.
