Thrive is introducing Report Builder, a guided, wizard-based reporting capability that brings evidenced social value data and narrative together in polished, branded reports, enabling organisations to effortlessly tell the complete story of their impact.
Report Builder is available to Thrive Social Value customers from 7 October 2026.
Data and narrative in one place
London, 7th October: Report Builder substantially overhauls the existing reporting capability within Thrive’s Social Impact Measurement module. Report Builder takes the social value data organisations have already captured and evidenced in Thrive and guides them, step by step, to a polished, branded report that combines headline figures, KPIs and metrics with case studies, photos and written narrative.
Users can start from scratch or a template designed for social value reporting, filter the data by project and date range, and apply their organisation’s brand colours and logo. A live preview shows each change as it is made, and finished reports can be exported as PDFs and shared with colleagues.
Teams wanting greater control can open reports in a drag-and-drop editor, giving them full freedom over layout and design. Capabilities vary by subscription tier.
Because every figure is drawn directly from what is held in Thrive, reports stay connected to the evidence behind them. Reports also update as new records are added, with PDF export providing a fixed snapshot for any point in time.
Meeting rising expectations for social value reporting
Social value reporting has changed. It is no longer enough to state how much value an organisation has delivered. Boards, investors, buyers and communities want to know what that value means for the people and places involved: the apprentice who found a career, the community space that opened its doors, the local supplier that grew.
That shift has made the story as important as the numbers. Whether an organisation is reporting on its sustainability performance, evidencing commitments in a bid or showing a community what has been delivered, the figures need to be credible, and the narrative clearly told.
Shaped by real reporting needs
Thrive’s existing reporting capability provides customers with a trusted view of their social value data. Report Builder builds on that foundation and responds to what customers have asked for next: greater flexibility, more room to tell their story, and reports they can tailor to every audience.
“Report Builder makes it easy to go from your data to a report you’re proud of, through a simple, guided process. You can start with one of the beautiful built-in templates or take full control in the drag-and-drop editor, helping you design every report your way for the audience in front of you. Most importantly, it gives our customers far more room to tell their story. Figures, case studies, photos and narrative now sit together so you can tell the complete story of your impact because we feel customers shouldn’t have to spend days rebuilding reports.”
