There are many solutions on the market that can be used as nonprofit management software or monitoring and evaluation tool for NGOs. Their features vary from fundraising, to grants management, applicants tracking, or result-based management. LogAlto’s main focus is M&E and data collection. It aims to be a flexible, secure and user-friendly monitoring and evaluation tool for NGOs – more specifically international NGOs.
Most of the organizations using LogAlto:
Why would humanitarian organizations need a specific monitoring and evaluation tool for NGOs and not an “out-of-the-box” generic ERP? The reason is that international nonprofits, NGOs and humanitarian organizations face different challenges and have different data management needs:
For all of the above-mentioned challenges, any good monitoring and evaluation tool for NGOs or non profit management software needs to offer:
Features that increase efficiency at all levels of the organization.
Dashboards that provide useful insights for project staff, HQ staff, partners and donors.
Flexible access rights and security measures to guarantee data integrity as well as confidentiality.
Interface, help articles and helpdesk support in multiple languages.
Low charging time and/or data import capability and/or offline data collection.
Other services (such as support to administrators).
LogAlto is a hybrid between an out-of-the-box and a tailor-made solution.
The biggest advantage of an out-of-the-box system is that there are no surprises: you already know from the start how much it will cost, how much time it will take to launch, and which features it offers. However, it may not fit all your needs.
The biggest advantage of a tailor-made system is that it will perfectly fit your organization’s needs. But this could be very costly and may take more time than planned.
A hybrid solution - like LogAlto - is a highly flexible and configurable out-of-the-box monitoring and evaluation tool for NGOs. It has the advantages of reduced cost, reduced implementation time and can be adapted to your context.
