Impact Manager is an always-on evaluation platform that helps school leaders make faster, smarter, evidence-based decisions.

All your edtech tools in one place — with evidence from your own evaluation workflows to know what to renew, what to renegotiate, and what to cancel. Every decision shaped by the people who matter most — teachers, leaders, and budget holders.

1Intake
Structured intake requests ensure every tool enters your ecosystem with clear goals. Evidence collected from day one, not retrofitted after the fact.
Schools that define success metrics at intake have far better renewal data when it matters.
2Approve
Approval workflows route each request to the right stakeholders automatically — every step is visible to everyone involved, with real-time notifications at every stage so no one is left waiting.
Assigning your IT lead as a named approver at intake eliminates DPIA back-and-forth.
3Monitor
Once a tool is approved, Impact Manager monitors student and teacher usage continuously across every school. Adoption can be compared against our benchmarks, and if it drops below your threshold, the product's owner is notified.
Adoption typically drops in weeks 3–4. Early flagging gives you time to intervene before budget is wasted.
Weekly activity — 12 months
4Insight
Leverage agile, research-backed surveys to build a deeper picture on what's working, what isn't, and where to act. AI summaries provide just-in-time insights so you can make judgements with confidence.
Teacher confidence is a stronger renewal predictor than student usage. Capturing both makes for better decisions.
5Decide
Make value for money decisions by benchmarking performance across your ecosystem and EdTech Impact's global dataset — then decide with confidence which products to keep, cancel, or expand.
Decisions backed by structured evidence take days, not weeks — with no last-minute scramble at contract end.
We handle the entire process — from mapping your ecosystem and removing duplicate spend, to getting your school live on a structured evaluation framework. Most schools are up and running within a month.
“Schools spend thousands on one-off audits that go stale the moment they’re delivered. Impact Manager is the cost-effective alternative — always-on, continuously evaluating, and keeping decisions grounded in the evidence most relevant to your context.”
