What we do

Technology that helps good work grow.

From Dhaka, Bangladesh, we help impact-driven businesses put technology to work—from software and digital products to AI integration and connected devices (IoT). We start with your users and the problem to solve, then agree what to build, integrate and test. Alongside client work, we’re developing Chokro.

How we work

Find the right starting point.

Our current work centres on products and technology support for enterprises. The areas below distinguish available services from proposed collaborations. Scope, team, timing and delivery commitments are agreed for each engagement.

Available by arrangement

Build impact products

Impact-driven organisations
Sustainability initiatives
Change-makers and social businesses

Create practical digital products and platforms for impact-driven clients, alongside our main product focus, Chokro.

We turn a clearly defined need into a useful digital solution. Discovery, design, development and testing are scoped around the people who will use it. This client work sits alongside the development of Chokro, our own product exploring a more circular local economy.

Scope and what to expect

Problem addressed

A promising idea may need a focused, testable product response before anyone can responsibly commit to scale.

What we can explore together

Problem framing and product discovery
Accessible experience and service design
Product development, prototyping and responsible testing

What is not included

A guaranteed launch, adoption level or impact outcome
Technology chosen solely because it is fashionable
Unreviewed handling of sensitive or production data

Approach

Understand the need, agree the risk and learning questions, build the smallest useful response, then test and decide what follows.

Expected outputs

A defined problem and intended user group
A concept or working prototype at an agreed maturity
A decision record covering evidence, risk and next steps

Availability and model

We work with impact-driven clients while prioritising Chokro. The scope, team capacity, timeline, fees and deliverables for each engagement are agreed before work begins.

Shared expectations: We agree the intended outcomes and how progress will be assessed as part of the project scope.

Available by arrangement

Enable impact-driven enterprises

Small and medium-sized enterprises
Social businesses
Eco-conscious makers and small sellers

Help SMEs, social businesses and change-makers improve their operations and reach through practical technology solutions.

We start with how an enterprise works, the people it serves and the capacity it has. The right approach may involve software, AI integration or connected devices (IoT) to support day-to-day operations and customer needs. The technology should fit the business and its purpose.

Scope and what to expect

Problem addressed

Small enterprises may face fragmented tools, limited digital capacity and difficult routes to customers without needing an oversized platform.

What we can explore together

Digital-operation and user-journey review
Technology design and integration, including AI and IoT where useful
Digital tools for reaching and serving customers

What is not included

Automatic grants, free services or guaranteed sales
Independent certification of a seller or product
Claims that handmade goods are automatically better for the environment

Approach

Understand the business and its constraints, identify a priority gap, agree a proportionate support plan, then review practical usefulness.

Expected outputs

A prioritised operational or growth need
An agreed tool, workflow or capability response
Documented learning and handover information

Availability and model

Technology support is scoped to each enterprise's needs and our capacity alongside Chokro. Timing, commercial terms and expected outputs are agreed for each engagement.

Shared expectations: We agree the intended outcomes and how progress will be assessed as part of the project scope.

Proposed collaboration

Develop partnerships and ecosystems

Civil-society and community organisations
Companies and institutions
Funders and public bodies

Explore wider collaborations with organisations and communities around shared environmental or social challenges.

Alongside our client work and Chokro, we are interested in collaborations that connect complementary knowledge and resources. This proposed pathway would clarify the shared need, roles and delivery plan. Named partnerships are published only with an approved relationship and permission.

Scope and what to expect

Problem addressed

Useful initiatives can stall when people, resources, responsibilities and evidence requirements remain disconnected.

What we can explore together

Collaborative discovery and programme framing
Role, governance and delivery-path design
Shared learning and reporting structures

What is not included

A partnership created by submitting an enquiry
Unapproved affiliation, endorsement or logo use
Funding or delivery commitments before written agreement

Approach

Frame the shared need, conduct appropriate due diligence, co-design roles and safeguards, then agree delivery and review points in writing.

Expected outputs

A shared problem and participant map
Clear roles, safeguards and decision points
A proposed delivery and learning framework

Availability and model

A proposed area for wider collaboration. Specific programmes, participants and delivery commitments require a separate agreement; an enquiry does not establish a partnership.

Shared expectations: We agree the intended outcomes and how progress will be assessed as part of the project scope.

Discuss your project

Proposed collaboration

Measure and strengthen impact

Programme and product teams
Mission-led organisations
Potential evidence partners

Explore dedicated support for defining indicators, gathering proportionate evidence and learning from results.

Evidence matters across our work. A dedicated impact-measurement offering is a proposed extension of that approach, separating activities, outputs, outcomes and long-term ambitions. Methods would fit the decision being made, protect participants and state their limitations.

Scope and what to expect

Problem addressed

Broad impact language can hide weak definitions, missing baselines and evidence that cannot support the conclusion being claimed.

What we can explore together

Theory-of-change and indicator framing
Evidence, boundary and limitation design
Learning reviews and responsible reporting support

What is not included

Audit, certification or regulatory assurance unless separately qualified
Invented baselines, outcome totals or causal claims
Official SDG, 3ZERO, EPR or government endorsement

Approach

Define the decision and change pathway, specify evidence and owners, collect only appropriate data, then review findings and limitations together.

Expected outputs

A documented theory of change or measurement question
Indicators with definitions, periods, scope, sources and owners
A learning record that distinguishes findings from uncertainty

Availability and model

A proposed specialist offering. Suitable expertise, independence, scope and commercial terms must be agreed before delivery. Audit and certification are outside this scope.

Shared expectations: We agree the intended outcomes and how progress will be assessed as part of the project scope.

A practical cycle

Small enough to learn. Clear enough to question.

Our approach starts with the people and the problem. Each stage helps decide what to build, what to improve and where a different solution may be needed.

Listen
Understand the context, constraints and people affected before settling on a solution.
Frame
Agree the problem, intended outcome, risks and what would count as useful evidence.
Prototype
Create the smallest responsible version that can answer an important question.
Test
Observe real use, seek criticism and check accessibility, privacy and unintended effects.
Decide
Improve, pause, retire or scale based on evidence—not momentum alone.

Decision guardrails

What every piece of work should make clear.

The roleWhat can technology or a partnership reasonably contribute?
The powerWho can decide, participate, challenge and leave?
The riskWhat could go wrong, and who may carry that cost?
The evidenceWhat will be measured, by whom, and with what limitations?
The endHow can the work be changed, handed over or retired responsibly?

Questions, answered

Frequently asked questions

Plain answers about where things stand and how to take part.

What does Impact Sol work on?

We advise impact-driven clients and build digital products, platforms and systems that help them reach more people and work more effectively. Alongside client work, Chokro is our first owned product and current priority, with further products planned. Each client engagement has an agreed scope and delivery plan. Wider collaboration programmes and dedicated impact-measurement support remain proposed areas of work.

How will environmental or social impact be reported?

Claims should be specific, dated and connected to a documented source or method. Until evidence is approved, the website describes aims and approach without publishing impact totals, certifications or outcome promises.
