Centralized Data Collection & Management
  • Smart, Relevant Data Requests: Build theme or program-specific question sets with conditional logic so grantees only see relevant metrics (less burden for them, cleaner data for you).
  • Integrations & Imports: Pull in data from external tools and systems to eliminate manual work and centralize everything in one place.
  • Qualitative Data Capture: Capture stories, photos, and other contextual elements that help bring your impact to life, and transform them into measurable datapoints.
  • Submission Tracking & Version Control: Track exactly who's submitted, who needs follow-up, and which report versions were shared with which grantees.

Advanced Analytics & Reporting
  • Advanced Visualizations: Leverage a wide range of visualization options to dynamically explore and present data.
  • Theme-Level & Fund-Level Intelligence: Analyze impact within individual themes or roll up to track program-level performance, enabling you to see granular details and the big picture.
  • Exploratory Filtering & Drill-Down: Filter, drill into, and explore data from every angle to reveal meaningful insights and answer emerging questions on the fly.
  • Benchmarking Tools: Compare performance against programs, geographies, time periods, or other benchmarks to identify which investments are driving outsized impact and which need additional support.
  • Real-Time Insights: Dashboards update automatically as new data is submitted, helping you track performance, make decisions, and prepare for meetings on demand.

Presentation-Ready Dashboards
  • Interactive Dashboards: Build interactive, presentation-ready dashboards that can be customized for different audiences.
  • Context-Rich Storytelling: Combine impact metrics with grantee narratives and visuals to create dashboards that tell the full story.
  • Build Once, Reuse Everywhere: Create and reuse charts across multiple dashboards. When data updates, it automatically updates everywhere the chart is used - saving time, ensuring consistency, and keeping reporting aligned across your organization.

Secure Sharing & Permissions
  • Role and User-Based Permissions: Set dashboard and data permissions by role or user so teammates can self-serve the information they need while maintaining data security.
  • Public Dashboard Links: Generate public URLs for dashboards to easily share impact data with external stakeholders - without providing access to sensitive underlying data.
  • Simplified Sharing via Embed & Export: Embed live charts in websites and online portals, or export them for presentations without manual reformatting.
  • SOC 2 Type 2 Compliant: UpMetrics provides enterprise-grade data security you can trust. We are SOC 2 Type 2 compliant, ensuring your data is protected by independently audited security standards.
