Software for political operations
Campaign work is full of jobs nobody built a tool for.
RMET Strategies LLC is a small software company. We make practical, narrow tools for campaigns, committees, and the firms that serve them — the kind that take a two-hour manual task and turn it into a file upload.
Selected work
Built privately, then kept running.
Everything we make is built under contract for a single client. Client names, systems, and the tools themselves stay confidential — what follows is the shape of the work, not the specifics.
Creative QC and transcoding
Web appA team shipping video and display files to a dozen platforms was learning about spec failures from the vendor, days later. We built an upload-and-check tool that returns a pass/fail against each platform's requirements and hands back a transcode that clears on the first try.
Email production at volume
Web appFundraising email HTML was being hand-edited before every send — links swapped, tracking parameters applied, tokens checked, unsubscribe blocks pasted in. We turned the whole pass into a single upload, with per-vendor variants and team accounts.
Send monitoring and alerting
MonitoringNobody could confirm a blast had actually landed until someone happened to check a phone. We built independent monitoring that watches real inboxes and devices, then alerts the team when a send goes out broken or doesn't go out at all.
Rate cards and buy reconciliation
Data platformStation rate cards arrived as a stack of inconsistent files with no two daypart names alike. We normalized them into a searchable database and tracked actual buys against it, so discrepancies surface before the invoice does.
Donor and CRM synchronization
IntegrationContributions landing in a payment processor had to reach the CRM the same day, verified and deduplicated. We built the pipeline, with retries and error handling so a failed record surfaces instead of quietly disappearing.
Large-file data operations
PipelineVoter and donor files too large for a spreadsheet were being split and merged by hand before every upload. We automated the matching, suppression, and format conversion, and put it on a schedule.
What we build
Narrow tools that do one job completely.
Our products come out of real operational problems, and we take on custom work in the same spirit. If you're describing a spreadsheet with twelve tabs and a person whose whole job is maintaining it, that's usually a good fit.
Internal tools & web apps
Purpose-built applications for a workflow your team already has but is running by hand. Multi-user accounts, permissions, audit trails, and billing where it's needed — deployed and maintained, not handed over as a zip file.
Data pipelines & file processing
Large-file work that breaks spreadsheets: matching, deduplication, suppression, format conversion, and scheduled jobs that run without anyone remembering to run them.
Integrations & automation
Connecting the systems that don't talk to each other. Fundraising processors to CRMs, ad platforms to reporting, forms to whatever has to happen next — with retries and error handling, so a failed record doesn't quietly disappear.
Quality control & monitoring
Automated checks on the things that are expensive to get wrong: creative specs, send integrity, link validity, delivery. You find out from us before you find out from the client.
Hosting & maintenance
We run what we build. Managed hosting, database migrations, dependency updates, and a real person to email when something looks wrong at 11pm in October.
How we work
A deliberately boring stack.
We pick tools that will still be maintainable in four years by someone who isn't us. No framework churn, no infrastructure you need a specialist to touch.
- Application
- Python and Flask, server-rendered by default. JavaScript where it earns its place.
- Data
- PostgreSQL, with versioned migrations. Redis and job queues for anything long-running.
- Infrastructure
- Managed hosting with automated deploys, daily backups, and TLS on everything.
- Payments
- Stripe for subscriptions. We never store card data ourselves.
- Engagements
- Fixed-scope builds, with hosting and support on a monthly retainer after launch.
- Ownership
- For custom work, you own the code. We'll host it or hand it over, your call.
