Challenges before UpMetrics

  • Far too much data to manage effectively in spreadsheets

  • No centralized data source or collection methods

  • Challenging to understand or measure non-financial results of investments

  • Manual and cumbersome reporting process

 

After Engaging with UpMetrics

  • Easy to call up proof points that communicate impact insights
  • Streamlined approach to data collection using custom, fund-specific surveys
  • Customized dashboards aligned to each client's portfolio

"Some people think proving investment impact must be simple, but it’s not. If you’re going to make an intentional effort to create a specific change, it takes a thoughtful strategy coupled with robust impact reporting capabilities.

UpMetrics has been a true partner in helping us simplify our impact data collection practices, and visualize our growing body of impact data - and thus measure the extent to which we’re achieving our intentions."
