Products

Choose the ImpactBoard edition that fits your work

ImpactBoard is a secure, configurable data management and reporting platform that helps organisations track strategy, performance and impact: from objectives and key results to programme outcomes, partner reporting and executive dashboards. It is offered in two editions: Nexus for social impact ecosystems, and Pulse for white-label performance and partner reporting platforms.

ImpactBoard Nexus

Nexus.

For social impact, M&E and programme reporting

ImpactBoard Nexus helps funders, NGOs, NPOs, foundations, evaluators and government partners implement monitoring and evaluation (M&E) frameworks, collect field data, track beneficiaries and activities, and report on outputs, outcomes and impact. Nexus is designed for multi-partner programmes where funders, implementers and programme teams need a shared, trusted view of progress.

As a multi-tenant platform, Nexus connects the whole ecosystem through shared data assets: a maintained institution hierarchy, verified masterlists, and ecosystem views across funders, implementers and programmes.

Explore Nexus

ImpactBoard Pulse

Pulse.

White-label platforms for organisations and ecosystems

ImpactBoard Pulse gives organisations a secure, configurable version of ImpactBoard under their own brand, domain and partner ecosystem. Launch a branded OKR tracking platform, reporting portal, supplier development platform, SME readiness platform, grantee reporting system or partner data hub, powered by ImpactBoard and configured to your logo, colours, workflows and reporting rules.

Pulse is ideal for organisations that need a secure white-label reporting platform for internal teams, partners, suppliers, grantees, SMEs or ecosystem stakeholders.

The Power of Data Visualisation

When data is visible, it's actionable.

Data visualisation turns numbers into meaning, revealing patterns, trends, and insights you can't spot in a spreadsheet. It helps you communicate clearly, make better decisions faster, and rally teams around the same goals.
