Heligon M&E is a monitoring and evaluation system for NGOs, development projects, and social impact organizations. It tracks beneficiaries, activities, outcomes, indicators, and donor reporting on Android, iOS, and the web.

Reports can combine charts, maps, photos, case studies, and impact stories, with PDF, Excel, and Word export. Project tools cover activity planning, attendance, deliverables, team roles, budgets, timelines, and a document library. Templates support USAID, EU, and UN agency formats. Heligon can import beneficiary data from Excel, other M&E systems, or databases, with migration during setup.
