Social Investment

Our research and experience show that most companies are engaged in some form of social investment activity - be it cash donations, employee volunteer time, sponsorship, social procurement, innovation or in-kind contributions such as materials, equipment, or space.

iSystain’s Social module has been designed to support the complete investment process from planning through implementation, to outcome and impact reporting and review - or anything in between. Our Social module supports the following process and data definition, collection, monitoring, analysis and reporting activities.

 
 

Benefits of implementing iSystain

  • Create a single source of truth for all social investment initiatives, activities, cash, time and in-kind contributions, costs, outputs, outcomes and impacts.

  • Simplify complex calculations with our business intelligence formula library. No more manual or spreadsheet calculations. Any field can be auto-calculated by combining entered information with mathematical algorithms. Even coded values such as type of space being offered can be included in the logic of the calculation.

  • Understand the cost of our Initiatives - Keeping track of the administrative and other indirect costs is an aspect often overlooked.

  • Reduce time, frustration and costs - Reduce administration and manual tasks associated with gathering, chasing, inputting, formulating, checking, fixing, formatting and reporting data.

  • Increased productivity - by decentralising access to simplified and standardise data collection templates you’ll encourage your wider team to input their data frequently, attach receipts and other required supporting documentation.

  • Enhanced visualisation of data - iSystain doesn’t just record and report, it enables you to truly understand the impact of your investments.

  • Report intelligently - As a central repository for every investment initiative, beneficiary, contribution and outcome, you can quickly produce data and reports at the touch of a button.

  • Increased visibility of investment activity status with the ability to drill down into bottlenecks and issues.

  • Integrate your social investments with your sustainability targets and performance reporting.

 

This feature rich module provides flexible options to collect and visualise quantitative and qualitative data to align with standards such as the Business for Societal Impact (B4SI) Framework as outlined below and your internal social investment and sustainability reporting needs.
