Project Summary

Ascent built a centralized animal record-keeping system for a global sanctuary network using a Strapi backend and an Angular frontend, migrating existing wildlife data into the CMS. The system enables caretakers to enter feeding, medical, enrichment, and training data directly and supports knowledge sharing across sanctuaries. The project was managed using Scrum with two-week sprints and collaboration via Jira, Slack, and InVision.

Replace paper and local-server records stored in disparate formats and make data accessible from headquarters
Allow caretakers to submit records directly without additional effort to structure data at headquarters

Project Deliverables
