Everything your organisation needs to measure, report and prove its impact.

Impact Tracker

Needing a structured reporting system that replaces spreadsheets

30 → 15

Ready for funders, boards and stakeholders

HOW IT WORKS

The Hivve Impact Journey — in three stages.

Impact measurement can feel overwhelming — especially when you’re not sure where to start. We break it into three clear stages, from discovery to evidence that’s visible, credible and lasting.

1
Understand
Know what impact means for your organisation — with an honest, evidence-led view of where you are and what good looks like at your scale.
2
Measure
Validate your framework, engage stakeholders and implement the systems that capture impact data consistently across every programme.
3
Communicate
Credible evidence that earns recognition, satisfies funders and drives real-world change. The whole picture, visible.
From dispersed evidence to institutional clarity

What Hivve does for you

Hivve gives universities a scalable system for capturing, managing and reporting impact across the institution — supported by expert advisory services designed to strengthen performance and readiness.

Manage impact data across faculties, research groups, centres and programmes

Digitised peer review workflows that streamline evaluation and improve review outcomes

Build a coherent, institution-wide approach to defining and measuring impact

Structured, submission-ready outputs for REF, rankings, accreditation and funder reporting

Independent mock assessments to understand submission strength before final deadlines

Impact Academy

Impact knowledge, built at your pace.

Impact Academy gives your team practical, CPD-accredited online courses covering every stage of impact measurement and reporting — from understanding what impact is to producing impact reports that stand up to external scrutiny.

CPD Accredited

Who we work with

From framework to evidence in four steps

Impact Tracker takes you from defining what you measure to structured, auditable evidence: ready for high quality reporting or independent review.

Integrated with Hivve's platform

Learning aligned to your live impact work — so what your team learns, they can apply immediately in Impact Tracker.

Self-paced and on-demand

Learn when it works for your team — no fixed schedules, no cohort waiting times. Progress at the pace your workload allows.

Grounded in practice

Developed by Hivve’s impact practitioners — drawing on 15+ years of hands-on experience across sectors, not academic theory.

Progress tracking and certification

Track your team’s progress, issue completion certificates, and evidence professional development across your organisation.

Mapped to the impact journey

Every course maps directly to a stage of Hivve’s Impact Journey — so learning builds capability exactly where your organisation needs it most.

CPD Accredited

All Impact Academy courses are CPD accredited by The CPD Certification Service — recognised professional development your team can cite formally.

01

Universities & Higher Education

Capture, verify, and report impact evidence that holds up to scrutiny – backed by our development of the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings methodology, used by 2,500+ institutions worldwide.

02

Organise and tag your impact

Built on Hivve’s proprietary taxonomy — covering 8 impact types, 300+ outcomes, and 2,500+ indicators — your data is structured, categorised, and tagged as it comes in. No blank page. No guesswork.

03

Analyse and report

Dashboards give your team real-time visibility of your impact and its progress against your indicators. When you’re ready to report, Impact Tracker’s AI report generator analyses your data, identifies gaps, and provides clear actionable feedback.

04

Ready for funders, boards and stakeholders

Because everything is tagged, structured, and traceable, Impact Tracker produces polished, publication-ready outputs at the press of a button. Funders. Boards. REF panels. Investors. Every claim links back to its source.

Why Impact Academy

Built for practice, not the classroom.

Build team-wide capability

Impact knowledge shouldn’t sit with a single expert. Academy builds a shared understanding of good practice across your organisation.

Produce stronger evidence

Teams that understand what good impact looks like collect better information and build more credible case studies and reports.

Save time when reporting

When people know what to capture and how, evidence is gathered as work happens — not retrospectively — cutting reporting effort.

Flexible learning, practical outcomes

Equip your team with the knowledge, confidence and skills to embed impact into day-to-day practice.

CPD accredited

Every Impact Academy course is CPD-accredited — recognised professional development your team can cite formally, with an individual certificate on completion.

Build stronger impact capability across your organisation.

From foundational training to advanced impact writing support, we help teams develop the confidence and systems needed for credible, long-term impact practice.

Impact Reviewer

Peer review, at scale, made simple.

Impact case studies, SPRE statements, research outputs — any document requiring validation and quality feedback. Impact Reviewer enables structured, consistent peer review workflows for teams and expert panels, delivering actionable feedback and secure sign-off at scale.

Making Real Impact Visible

˙From scattered data to clear, credible evidence.

A structured, collaborative platform for capturing, organising, and reporting your impact evidence — built around a methodology that holds up under scrutiny. Connects to your existing systems, so nothing has to be rebuilt from scratch.

IMPACT IN PRACTICE

Built for board confidence and international reporting.

The 30×30 Fund needed a structured way to align grantee reporting, demonstrate progress to its board, and communicate impact consistently across a multi-country portfolio. Hivve designed the framework and tracking approach to turn scattered reports into one evidence base.

"We believe that when impact is clearly evidenced and measurable, it does more than tell a story: it attracts support, unlocks investment, and enables important work to go further."
