Social projects attract considerable investments; timely intervention and require 360-view and real-time insights for stakeholders and audience engagement.

Social projects by design are outsourced and deployed by various NGOs, Social enterprises, individuals, and mentors who follow social mandates for delivery. Large organizations with multiple live project requirements desire to onboard and curate a set of Impact Partners.

While the projects take off, a corresponding need for information management, regular collation of work samples for submissions, project reports, delivery reports, etc., is critical for smooth funds management and execution.
