Why RDCs choose Tactiv
Complex funding, made clear
Levies, matched funds and co-investment often meet on a single project. Tactiv records each contribution against the work it pays for, so finance and program teams share one view of commitments, spend and remaining capacity.
Strategy you can see in the data
Tag projects to strategic plan priorities and industry outcomes. Compare where investment is concentrated and where it’s light, with board papers and annual reports drawing on the same live data.
A partner experience that reflects your reputation
Researchers submit proposals, milestone reports and variation requests through a portal branded to your RDC. Clear guidance means stronger submissions and fewer follow-ups.
Proven in research funding
Our implementation team has guided RDCs and research funders through migration, configuration and training. You go live with confidence and keep growing with ongoing support.
Connected from day one
Bring your project history with you and plug into the systems your team already uses. Tactiv supports flexible data migration, led by your team or ours, and integrates with your technology ecosystem so data is entered once and flows everywhere.
Manage the entire funding lifecycle
Set priorities and engage partners
Every funding round starts with a question: where should we invest next? Tactiv shows you where your portfolio is focused and where it’s light, before calls open, not after.
Map investments to strategy
Link programs and projects to strategic priorities from the outset, so every dollar has a clear purpose. Spot where your portfolio is concentrated and where priorities need more support, and plan each funding round with confidence.
Unite every funding source
Track levies, matched government funds and co-contributions in one place. Finance and program teams share a clear view of commitments, spend and remaining capacity, so you always know what’s available to invest.
Engage industry and partners
Keep levy payers, research partners and industry bodies connected through a single portal branded to your RDC. Share opportunities, gather input and build stronger relationships across your industry.
Fund the right research
Open calls, targeted procurement or commissioned research, all run through one process. Assessments are quick and fair, and every decision is recorded, so you can explain any outcome to anyone who asks.
Applications made simple
Smart forms guide partners through exactly what you need, with eligibility checks and supporting documents built in. Financial sign-off is completed before submission, so proposals arrive complete and ready to assess.
Confident decisions
Run internal and external assessment panels with weighted scoring, moderation and conflict-of-interest management. Comments and scores are captured against each proposal, creating a clear record of how every decision was made.
Every project type, one platform
Configure templates for research, regional, PhD and Masters, consultancy and sponsorship projects without custom code. Each project type gets the right forms, workflows and approvals, all managed in one system.
Manage investments with less effort
The admin between signing a contract and receiving the final report is where time disappears. Tactiv connects contracts, milestones and payments, so projects keep moving without the follow-up emails.
Contracts that build themselves
Generate agreements directly from approved project data, with no re-typing or copy and paste. Manage variations as projects evolve and collect signatures digitally, so contracts move from approval to execution in days, not weeks.
Milestones without the chasing
Automated reminders keep research partners on schedule without manual follow-up. Milestone reports, budgets and invoices are reviewed together in one workflow, so issues surface early and approvals keep moving.
Payments that flow to finance
Approved payments integrate with your finance system, removing re-keying and reducing errors. Every transaction is linked to its project, milestone and funding source, keeping your records complete and audit-ready.
Prove impact in real time
Your board wants to know what’s working. So do the industries you support. With live data across every project, you can show them, any day of the year.
Real-time dashboards
Give program teams, finance, executives and the board live views tailored to what each needs to see. Track progress, spend and outcomes at a glance, without waiting for a report to be compiled.
Outcomes linked to strategy
Measure results against strategic priorities across individual projects, programs and your whole portfolio. See which investments are delivering for industry and use those insights to shape future priorities.
Reporting on demand
Compliance and impact reports are ready when you need them, not assembled at year end. Because every application, decision, payment and outcome is captured as it happens, statutory reporting becomes a simple export rather than a months-long project.
You’re in good company
