I've got a meeting with a Harrisburg, Pennsylvania based non-profit to talk about a creating a very light warehouse management system.  This will be a meeting to determine the scope of work, but initially they were asking for an Access solution.  When I get in there (and after I figure out the scale of the project), I am anticipating offering a Postgres backend solution, contigent on their needs and the software they are currently using.

This is a small organization that services the sight impaired and blind of south central Pennsylvania.  This particular aspect of the organization employs the sight impaired and is a type of third party logistics.  The organization receives product,  do some light assembly of sample packets, and ship it out for a manufacturer in the area who is asking for more and more detailed data.

If anyone has done nonprofit work with Postgres, I'd appreciate any references/case studies/etc. to add to the credibility of Postgres to an nonprofit organization that is currently owned by Microsoft.

Regardless, if this comes through, is there a repository for case studies, or links to case studies, success stories, etc?  I'd really like to help advocacy, and if this works out the way I think it will,  this seems like a good way.

Thanks!

- Bret
