start with Templates

Measure your impact like a pro with our library of validated surveys, ready for you to add to your projects. You can also choose from our library of outcomes, indicators and logic models, or create your own.

work from your phone

Unlike other databases, Makerble works just as well on your phone or tablet as it does on your computer. Create and edit contacts on the move, post updates and complete surveys.

Each of your programmes and services exist as a project

• A project can be an ongoing strand of your core work or a one-off initiative

• Assign staff and volunteers to each project

• Each project has its own timeline of updates so you can see at a glance what the latest is

• You can optionally add outcomes, indicators and even a full logic model to each project, depending the level of sophistication with which you want to track your impact

Track each person’s journey through your programmes

• Every individual and organisation that you help, exists as a Contact

• Case management is made simple with the ability to add tasks, reminders, uploaded documents and detailed notes

• Contacts can be part of multiple projects, meaning you can easily track each person’s journey through the range of services you provide

• Privacy controls let you decide who can see what information about each contact

Measure your impact using surveys designed around your outcomes

• Measure people’s wellbeing, attitudes and behaviour with customisable surveys

• Browse our library of survey templates to get started or create your own

• Measure the difference you make by running the same survey at the start and end of your programme. Makerble automatically calculates the Distance Travelled so you know the percentage of your contacts who have improved in each area

Build reports that run themselves

• Add all the results you need for a particular funder to a Progress Board. The board will automatically update to show you the latest progress towards your goals, whether they are measured using outcomes, outputs or indicators

• Control who has access to each Progress Board. Choose whether you want to give access to trustees, fundraising staff or even funders and donors directly.

• You can embed your Progress Board on your website

Create a culture of learning

• Encourage your team to reflect on progress by posting Tips containing their lessons learned, mistakes made, ideas, suggestions and feedback

• Each Tip is tagged to one or more outcomes and demographic groups so that Makerble can automatically notify you of new Tips created by your colleagues that relate to the outcomes and people you work with
