A history of helping organisations deliver social outcomes
2005
The Tactiv story began as a project hosted by a not-for-profit to get a better understanding of environmental outcomes being achieved by large government investments in the sector – Enquire was born. The Australian National Audit Office soon recognises Enquire as the first integrated web-based system to manage financial and performance information for environmental activities in Australia.
2009
Tactiv's platform is identified as a “sophisticated project management and reporting tool” by the OECD. Tactiv’s usage grows around Australia as our not-for-profit and natural resource management clients start to streamline their grant and contract administration, while highlighting evidence of their impact.
2011
Tactiv is formally registered as a company and subsidiary of our not-for-profit parent, with our software soon supporting the World Health Organisation’s management of their donor investments, propelling Enquire international.
2016
Tactiv was spun out from our NFP parent and started independent operations. Since then, Tactiv has grown and attracted additional investment and expanded our market and client base including the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade who use Tactiv to underpin the delivery of New Zealand’s $2.2 billion International Aid Programme.
2018
We release the new version of the Tactiv platform, marking a new generation of software, making it the most user-friendly and functional off-the-shelf grant management system on the market. A revolutionary fund management and impact reporting solution that scales from 2 to 20,000+ users, is highly configurable and adaptable to a growing range of requirements and off-the-shelf is live.
2022
Tactiv continue to expand its reach to the US and Asia, working with global leaders in the impact investment and government funds administration space – now supporting a range of additional programs, including scholarships, awards, disaster recovery, case management and project portfolio.
