The stakeholder management system built for effective engagement

One record for every interested and affected party, every engagement, every issue, every commitment and every grievance. Built for stakeholder relationship management, not adapted from a sales tool.

tractivity platform overview

What is stakeholder relationship management software?

Public sector, infrastructure and regulated industry teams in South Africa often track stakeholders and interested and affected parties across a CRM, a spreadsheet, or both. Before looking at what's in the platform, it's worth being clear on what stakeholder relationship management (SRM) software is for, and where it stops overlapping with a CRM.

Stakeholder relationship management software holds every stakeholder or interested and affected party, every interaction with them, every issue they raise, every commitment made to them and every report drawn from that record, in one system.

Why a CRM does not do this job

A CRM’s data model is built around an opportunity and a sales cycle. A stakeholder is not an opportunity. A consultation is not a pipeline stage. An objector is not a lost deal.

icon-AI

The data model is different

An SRM tracks relationships, influence, sentiment, consultation and the auditable evidence that engagement took place. A CRM tracks revenue, pipeline and sales activity. They are not the same shape, and forcing one into the other is where the record starts to fail.

icon-AI

Fields a CRM has no place for

How a party registered on a statutory register, which notice version they received, which language they asked for, whether they are an organ of state, the issue their comment belongs to, the sentiment of that issue over time, the commitment made in response and whether it closed. And an audit trail designed for regulatory scrutiny rather than commercial reporting.

icon-AI

The register survives the project

A project team disbands. The obligation, and the community, do not. The next application in the same area starts from a real register rather than from a blank sheet and somebody’s memory.

What's inside the Tractivity platform?

icon-ai-detection2Stakeholders and organisationsThe register. Individuals and organisations with contact details, roles, interests, influence, sentiment and relationship history. Hierarchies and group structures for complex party landscapes, from a traditional council with a ward committee alongside it to a community trust with named trustees and beneficiaries. Party type, language preference, how they registered and whether they are an organ of state all held as fields. No caps on records.
icon-surveysEnquiriesComplaints, grievances, project feedback and access-to-information requests, date-stamped and categorised by project phase, issue, source, sentiment and account handler, with templated responses. This is the grievance mechanism IFC Performance Standard 1, Equator Principle 6 and the UN Guiding Principles ask for, and the workflow that answers a PAIA request.
icon-outlook-integrationMail synchronisation and communicationsEvery email sent through the platform is saved automatically against the stakeholder’s record, and the whole team can see the trail. Sender addresses are configurable to an individual, a group or a project address. Emails can be created in Tractivity and transferred into Outlook with the correspondence still logged. An existing generic mailbox can be connected so inbound and outbound mail is administered inside Tractivity and linked to the relevant party, organisation or enquiry, with templated responses for recurring matters. Deliverability comes from SPF records and DKIM authentication.
icon-duplicate-prevention1Issues and commitments

Group comments and grievances into issues, track each with positive, negative or neutral sentiment and a traffic-light status, and run impact analysis. Log commitments with an owner, a value, a due date and a reporting cycle, and track them to closure. This is what an SLP round, a REIPPPP economic development obligation and a licence condition all need.

 

 

icon-oneplatformEngage-360 public portalA branded public engagement portal where community members self-register, respond to surveys and take part in consultations, feeding directly into the register. Under EIA Regulation 42 a party who requests in writing to be added must be registered, and a portal is the cleanest way to run that at scale. Engage-360 is a separately-priced module, configured to your audience scale, customisation and integration scope.
icon-dashboardsReporting and dashboardsMore than 150 pre-built reports plus configurable dashboards, in tabular, matrix, graph, demographic, mapping and dashboard views, exportable to Word, Excel and PDF. Full date-stamped audit trail, filterable by activity or interaction type. Power BI is supported through scheduled exports to a designated location.
icon-central_mailboxMailshotsBulk communications built from the register. Every address is automatically validated before use and opt-in is checked, which matters both operationally and under POPIA section 69. Distribution lists by project, ward, interest, party type or language preference.
icon-stakeholder_mappingStakeholder mappingInfluence and interest mapping, segmentation, and mapping by location using Google Maps with a Land Parcels module, so a corridor, a mining right area or a ward can be read geographically. Prioritise engagement where it matters and show the reasoning.
icon-gettingstartedEvents and meetingsInvitations, registrations, attendance and minutes, with Microsoft Teams meeting creation and management from inside the platform.
icon-leaveyourfeedbackSurveys and online consultationsStructured feedback gathering, with responses attached to the party who submitted them.

Where each module maps onto a South African obligation

The same record structures serve every authorisation type. What changes between them is the notice requirement, the comment period and the retention rule, and those are project settings rather than hard-coded assumptions.

How it fits, and what it takes to get live

Cloud only through a browser

No local software or plugins for administrators or for public users, and no intrusive or non-essential cookies. That matters for a municipal IT department and for a community member on a phone in equal measure.

Reliability, backups and releases, including a 99.95% uptime guarantee and 24/7/365 monitoring, are covered in full on the security and compliance page.

Getting live

Live in four to six weeks

Live in four to six weeks on average. Actual timing depends as much on how quickly your data is supplied as it does on us. In that time: contract signed, planning calls, system setup, configuration, data import, checks, end-user training, then launch. This includes a minimum of 20 hours of onboarding, covering your stakeholder data upload, and two 1.5-hour online training sessions with a dedicated Client Success Manager, followed by ongoing system reviews and support through the whole relationship.

How your data gets in

Your data is added to Tractivity however suits you: through the Engage-360 portal, sent in from your own website via the API, uploaded in bulk from Excel, or entered manually. Most projects start with what you already have rather than a blank system, existing spreadsheets, attendance registers and mailing lists most commonly.

See it with your own data

Bring a live project, a register you already keep, or the last comments and responses report you had to assemble by hand, and we'll build you a personalised demonstration.

Worth reading next: POPIA and your stakeholder database, security, data protection and procurement, and public participation software for South Africa.
