Grant Management Suite

Synergy Indicata Grant Management Suite (GMS) is all-in-one enterprise software that revolutionizes the entire grant lifecycle, from pre-award to award and post-award phases. It allows both grantors and grantees to seamlessly streamline and enhance every aspect of the grant management process.

With the GMS’s digitized grant processes, you will be able to free up valuable resources and channel them towards greater good. Our technology offers substantial optimization and streamlining of the grant lifecycle, particularly in processing applications, ensuring fair evaluations, and consolidating data for efficient reporting. By embracing paperless operations and reducing offline evaluation meetings, you can simultaneously reduce costs and achieve your sustainability targets.

GMS Lifecycle

Optimize Your Grant Lifecycle

From Opportunity call development and launch to application intake, evaluation committees & boards appraisals, and awards, Synergy GMS offers all the required tools to effortlessly implement the process. But that’s not all. We go beyond by facilitating grant program execution, tracking financial flows and disbursement schedules, monitoring program and project implementation progress and associated costs, assessing environmental implications and achievement of set objectives, all while ensuring their contribution to the overall organizational mission and impact-creation efforts.

Ensure Strategic Alignment

By leveraging our robust M&E toolkit, you will gain the distinct advantage to dynamically align your grant portfolio with your strategic framework. You will be able to consistently set strategic targets and measure your impact, tracking your achievement and performance results ensuring that your initiatives remain in perfect sync with your organization’s overarching goals.

Empower Grantees for Success

Օur innovative solution empowers grantees with intuitive and cost-free application, proposal and reports design, eliminating the expenses associated with traditional paper-based submissions (such as printing, binding, or shipping costs) or needs for other software. 

We empower grantees to track project implementation, measure performance, and analyze data seamlessly within the system. By automating milestone scheduled payment plans, consolidated budgets, and other reports from raw data, we ensure equal opportunities for all beneficiaries to efficiently execute projects, report progress, and achieve their desired impact.

Leverage Data-Driven Intelligence

Synergy GMS will enable you to collect and process data on the performance and progress of your portfolio grants, make data-informed strategic decisions and advise stakeholders on program and grant implementation. With an intuitive interface and drag-and-drop functionality, you will enjoy the benefits of our custom data analysis, user-defined calculation and advanced visualization capabilities to manipulate static spreadsheets into dynamic dashboards. It will take seconds to get ad hoc insights on portfolio grants, evaluate their performance and aggregate grantee results to track the achievement of portfolio-wide strategic objectives. You will also enjoy the benefit of “live” canned reports as they will consume the database data and provide you with up-to-date snapshot of grants performance.
