In their own words
Primero
Primero is an open-source information management platform for protection-related data. Its use cases include child protection and gender-based violence case management, incident monitoring, and family tracing and reunification. Case workflows span identification, registration, assessment, planning, referrals and transfers, and closure, with supervision, notifications and tasking tools. The platform lists CPIMS+, GBVIMS+ and MRMIMS+ modules, along with intake forms, custom fields, audit trails and reporting dashboards. Teams can configure forms, roles, lookups, reports, languages, logos and locations through a self-service interface. Primero is available in more than 40 languages. Its v2 progressive web app works online and offline in modern browsers on mobile devices, tablets and laptops, though offline use is limited to creating cases and editing records already accessed in the session; changes submit after reconnection. A free DIY tier requires implementers to manage infrastructure and support. Full Service SaaS costs $8,250 a year, while Hybrid deployment costs $25,000 a year for the first year and decreases to the Tier 3 cost in year two and thereafter.
