Amp Impact: Portfolio Management, Grant Management, and Impact Measurement

Accessible,Easy to use and so HELPFUL

I really have enjoyed using AMP impact as a way to manage our data for our fellows. It really is a simple effective way to track their goals, expenses and progress in a way that makes it easy for our fellows to use. I love that it is also customizable and has made it the PERFECT tool for us to utilize since our partnership began. I also like how easy it is to access it via salesforce, and how approachable and open the AMP impact team has been when dealing with troubleshooting.

Powerful monitoring, evaluation and learning system for non profits of all sizes

We teamed up with Vera Solutions in 2019 to customize Amp Impact to cover monitoring and evaluation for all of our projects. The tool allows us to allocate donor allocations per project, manage LogFrames online, and set targets and input results for indicators. Financial management is also part of the solution with the ability to manage budgets and track expenditures. Amp Impact’s performance graphs were a huge draw for us as we spent a lot of time creating those in the past and we could now simply copy and paste them into our reports. Dashboards have also allowed us to have an overview of the organization as a whole and produce annual or quarterly reports.

Finally one place to report on project logframes and aggregate and analyse results

At War Child, we are using Amp Impact to do indicator management for our projects across 10+ countries. The added value is key to the core of our work: making sure that we know what we do makes an impact. We have integrated it with our own custom solution for opportunity and grant management. Before using Vera Solution's app, it was nearly impossible to track indicator results over different projects running across the world. The diversity in setup of logframes and tracking sheets, asked for a lot of calculations to be done manually. Within Amp Impact, the set-up streamlined for every project, but it also has enough flexibility to adapt to every project situation. In each project we see a mix of indicators from our Global Monitoring Framework, with project or donor specific indicators. It's pleasant to work with anyone from the Vera Solutions team. They are dedicated to improve the app to fit our wishes. We can also tweak it ourselves, which really gives us the feeling we have it in our own hands too.

Experiences with Vera Solutions and Amp Impact

SOS Children’s Villages The Netherlands is very satisfied about the collaboration with Vera Solutions and the provided software based on Amp Impact. During the year, in 2018, Vera Solutions developed for SOS NL a customized system, internally known as PIM, for documentation, monitoring, analysis and publishing purposes. To mention some of the chief assets: - The system looks nice ! - It is user friendly; its use is self-explanatory, also for non-nurdic users - Vera’s project management was very efficient - Agreed deliverables realized within budget and time - Amp Impact was customized according to SOS’ specific wishes; Vera demonstrates flexibility in dealing with our specific wishes. - Efficient testing of the customized system: transparent and swift communication, quick responses. - Compatibility of the system with website publishing is ok.

Excellent for Portfolio Management

Shell Foundation is using Amp Impact to monitor social and environmental reporting for over 50 companies. The system is also being used to facilitate peer to peer learning. The foundation plans to expand the system in future to enable it to monitor the full cycle of grant management. It has been a pleasure building our system with the Amp Impact team.

Simple. Powerful. Effective.

Amp Impact provides an essential tool for accelerating organizational effectiveness. The design is intuitive for the user and enables powerful analysis in the shortest amount of time. Highly recommended.

Amp Impact will allow us to accurately measure and truly understand our impact

Salesforce.org has decided to use Amp Impact as its impact measurement system because it is adaptable enough to meet our needs. The ability to develop our own logframes means that we can understand our impact as we define it. With the logframes, we can also measure and report on both our outputs and outcomes. Salesforce.org needs an impact measurement system that will help us to clearly illustrate the impact of our global product donation, strategic granting, and employee engagement programs. Amp Impact is that system.

Great for capturing and aggregating our key indicators for our global programmes

The Aga Khan Foundation is an early adopter of Amp Impact and has been delighted with the functionality so far. The app is being used to help us capture and aggregate data across 88 indicators, in 7 themes and 17 countries. Users have found it intuitive and the information it's yielding is feeding into our programme design and planning processes as well as our external engagement and internal reporting. Use of Amp Impact has helped us to get quite granular data back into the hands of field staff to help inform their daily work and it's also streamlined considerably our global reporting processes.
