FRUIT Impact is a web platform for measuring impact across nonprofit, NGO, foundation, ESG, social enterprise, university, civic, and faith-based programs. Organizations can define targets such as individuals, households, geographic areas, demographic cohorts, groups, and other organizations. They can build surveys, composite indices, and assessments using multiple-choice, Likert, open-text, or numeric questions with custom scoring logic. Observations can be captured on mobile devices, tablets, or desktops, online or offline, and synced to a central database. FRUIT calculates metrics from observations and supports trend analysis, segmentation, and user-defined calculations. Users can model future impact from historical data, growth assumptions, resource constraints, and time horizons. Admin, Program Manager, and Field Collector roles have different access levels; actions are logged with timestamps and user attribution. The product says submitted observations cannot be edited or deleted by administrators. The free FRUIT Seed plan is free and includes 2 targets, 2 brands, 1 admin user, and AI Insights.
