What It Is

Deccos Impact Software is impact management software designed for mission-driven organizations. Its core goal is to help users measure, visualize, and communicate social impact at a relatively low cost. It emphasizes a low barrier to entry and an all-in-one workflow, making it suitable for organizations that need to demonstrate project outcomes to funds, governments, municipalities, or other stakeholders.

Core Features and Collaboration

The product covers the full workflow from impact strategy to data collection and report distribution. Features include building an impact strategy based on Theory of Change, creating measurement plans, designing surveys, dashboards for quantitative and qualitative results, an outcomes database, and live-impactrapportages that update in real time as research results come in. The built-in AI impact consultant can provide guidance and answer questions during the impact measurement process. For collaboration, the base plan includes 2 users, while Portfolio includes 5 users, with additional users available as a monthly add-on. However, the page does not disclose more granular permission features such as roles, approvals, or organizational hierarchy.

Pricing and Trial

Pricing is relatively transparent: Impactsoftware costs €65/month and includes 2 users, with additional users at €5/user/month. A 7-day free trial is available, and the subscription does not start automatically after the trial; it can be cancelled at any time. Portfolio costs €175/month and has a one-time €950 onboarding fee. It includes 5 users and 3 project environments, making it suitable for organizations managing multiple projects. The page also mentions an AI impact measurement pilot that gives basic subscriptions a 50% discount for 12 months.

Pros and Cons

The main strengths are its focused feature set and relatively accessible pricing. It connects impact strategy, surveys, data dashboards, and real-time reporting, which is especially useful for grant applications and external communications. Help desk support also lowers the barrier for non-technical teams. The main drawback is that the public information does not explain third-party integrations, API availability, payment methods, data security and compliance, backups, encryption, or deployment options. Organizations with strict IT audit or system integration requirements should ask for more details.

Best Fit and Access from China

It is better suited to nonprofits, social enterprises, foundation project teams, and organizations in Dutch-speaking or European contexts that need to submit impact evidence to governments and funds. Access from China is unknown; the site is in Dutch, and payment and contracting may also follow more Europe-local processes. For teams in China, it may be worth evaluating ImpactMapper, Sopact, Submittable, or building an alternative setup with survey tools plus BI reporting.
