UpMetrics connects every stage of the impact reporting workflow so you can spend less time wrangling data, and more time using it to move your mission forward.
CUSTOMIZABLE METRICS & KPIs
Define the metrics that need to stay consistent across your portfolio for aggregate reporting and comparability, and the ones that should stay flexible for deeper program-level storytelling.
As programs evolve or priorities shift, you can adapt without losing consistency at the core.
DATA COLLECTION & REPORTING
For teams requesting data, customizable question sets and conditional logic ensure each recipient only sees what's relevant to them, reducing the reporting burden and improving data quality. Submission tracking means you always know who's submitted and who needs follow-up.
On the other side, a dedicated portal lets submitters collaborate on responses, request clarifications, and track their status. Built-in approval flows mean both sides can refine answers together in one place, turning reporting into a two-way workflow instead of a chain of emails.
DATA INTEGRATION & MANAGEMENT
Import data from spreadsheets, CSV files, Google Sheets, and other tools into a single source of truth.
Then keep it clean with tables that let you organize, validate, and standardize directly in UpMetrics, so every dataset is accurate and analysis-ready before it reaches a report or dashboard.
No more wrangling data across tools.
QUALITATIVE DATA ANALYSIS
Capture stories, photos, testimonials, and other qualitative datapoints and make them as analyzable as any quantitative metric.
Structured tagging, sentiment tracking, and program associations make it easy to organize qualitative data — without hours of cleanup in a spreadsheet. Then embed it directly in your dashboards to paint a complete, contextual picture of impact that numbers alone can't tell.
REAL-TIME ANALYTICS & DASHBOARDS
Turn complex impact data into a live, explorable view of performance.
Dashboards update automatically as new data comes in, giving you real-time visibility from individual program results to portfolio-wide trends. Filter by theme, geography, or time period, benchmark across programs, and drill down or roll up as needed. For teams that want to go further, you can write and run custom queries directly against your data for on-demand analysis, without leaving UpMetrics.
It's impact analysis that helps your team make decisions in the moment, not just at year-end.
REUSABLE, READY-TO-SHARE VISUALIZATIONS
Create charts once and reuse them across multiple dashboards — when data updates, every instance updates automatically.
Customize dashboards for different audiences, share via public links or embedded charts without exposing underlying data, and combine metrics with narratives to tell the complete impact story.
No reformatting, no version control. Just current, compelling data wherever your stakeholders need it.
ROBUST SECURITY & ADMIN TOOLS
Role and user-based permissions let program teams, analysts, and leadership self-serve the data they need while keeping sensitive information protected.
UpMetrics' SOC 2 Type 2 certification ensures our security practices are independently audited against enterprise-grade standards, so your organization and stakeholders can trust that sensitive data stays where it belongs.
Most reporting platforms were designed to satisfy requirements, not generate insight. UpMetrics was built for organizations that want to understand their impact - not just document it - and use that understanding to make smarter decisions, improve outcomes, and communicate impact with confidence.
Stop stitching together survey tools, spreadsheets, emails, and PDFs. UpMetrics centralizes all of your data into one system so you can see the full picture of your impact.
Advanced analytics tools let you set targets, track performance against them, and understand where your impact strategy is working and where it needs attention.
The best reporting cycles don't just produce data, they improve what you do next. UpMetrics helps your team surface trends, flag gaps, and turn every cycle into an opportunity to improve strategy and outcomes.
Reporting shouldn't feel like an audit. UpMetrics creates a shared experience where data flows both ways, feedback is built in, and every cycle strengthens relationships rather than straining them.
Whether you're reporting to a board, presenting to partners, or communicating publicly, UpMetrics make it easy to share compelling and credible impact narratives.
UpMetrics automates the administrative work that consumes your team's time, freeing them to focus on strategy, relationships, and outcome delivery instead.
UpMetrics has enabled us to measure and share our impact much easier with LPs and our key stakeholders compared to tools like Tablecloth.

Matthew Kearny, Executive DirectorTalk to our team about how UpMetrics can simplify and add value to your organization's reporting workflow - whether you're an investor, foundation, or nonprofit.
Impact reporting software helps organizations move from fragmented, manual data workflows to a single system for collecting, analyzing, and sharing impact data.
Instead of stitching together spreadsheets, survey tools, and PowerPoints, organizations can define what they measure, collect structured data, analyze results in real time, and share findings with stakeholders — all in one place.
The best impact reporting software creates value for both sides of the relationship, making reporting easier for the organizations submitting data and more useful for the organizations requesting it.
The cost of our impact reporting platform can vary based on platform tiers and accompanying services, as well as your organization's size, goals, and data complexity.
It’s best to reach out directly to our team so we can scope the right solution for you.
Implementation time is dependent on the complexity of your data and your team's familiarity with data management tools, but most customers are up and running within four to six weeks.
For more comprehensive setups, structured implementation and onboarding Services can be purchased and can run up to 120 days.
Most organizations do. The problem isn't having no tools — it's that most teams have too many tools, and the tools don't talk to each other.
Strategy frameworks outlined in documents, survey tools for data collection, analysis happening in multiple spreadsheets, and a different tool for sharing results. Instead of stitching all of that together, UpMetrics gives you one platform to define what you measure, collect structured data, analyze results in real time, and share findings with stakeholders. Data flows from one stage to the next without anyone moving it manually.
They do — but the account is free and it's genuinely useful to them.
Instead of submitting into a black box, they get a central hub to manage data across all UpMetrics-connected reporting requests, collaboration tools for their team, and access to their own submission history.
When the platform benefits them — not just you — adoption follows.
UpMetrics connects with the tools most impact organizations already rely on, including Google Sheets, CSV exports, and common grant management systems, so you can centralize existing data without rebuilding your workflows from scratch.
For data that doesn't live in a connected system, our Services team can build custom integrations via API development and/or RPA development.
The goal is a single source of truth that pulls from wherever your data already lives, not a replacement for every tool in your stack.
UpMetrics is designed for organizations at every stage of their impact measurement and reporting journey, including those just getting started.
Many of our customers came to UpMetrics with a messy current state and used the platform to build their measurement infrastructure from the ground up. Starting from scratch isn't a barrier — it's exactly the use case the platform is designed for.
Yes. UpMetrics is framework-agnostic by design — meaning you can bring your own indicators, map to established standards like IRIS+, SDGs, or Impact Performance Reporting Norms, or build a hybrid approach that standardizes core metrics while leaving room for the indicators specific to your strategy.
The platform adapts to the frameworks you use, not the other way around. And because your framework can evolve as your programs and priorities shift, you're never locked into the choices you made at setup.
Your grants management system is the administrative backbone of your grantmaking — handling applications, compliance, payments, and relationship tracking.
UpMetrics is the impact data and reporting layer that sits alongside it, covering everything your GMS doesn't do well: framework design, collaborative reporting, qualitative and quantitative data collection, portfolio-level analysis, and external storytelling.
The two can coexist, and most of our foundation customers use both.
