What Exantur is
Building Exantur required deciding what the central organizing concept of coaching software should be. The coaching relationship - the sustained, structured engagement between one coach and one coachee over a defined period - is the answer we arrived at. Not the session, which is only a moment within the relationship. Not the client record, which is only a container for administrative data. The coaching relationship as a whole, with its programs, its goals, its sessions, its accountability, its assessments, its documents, and its accumulated history, is what the software should be organized around. This decision shapes everything about how Exantur works. When a coach opens a client record, they see the full context of that relationship: not just contact information, but the active program, the outstanding accountability items, the most recent check-in responses, and the goals and where they currently stand. When a coach opens a session note, they see it in the context of the program it belongs to, with the sessions before and after visible as navigation. When goals are reviewed, both current status and the history of how those goals have evolved are visible. The coaching relationship has a beginning, a middle, and - eventually - an end, and Exantur is designed to hold the entire arc of it in a form that is coherent, searchable, and meaningful.
Exantur supports the full lifecycle of a coaching engagement. Before the first session, a coach establishes the program structure, sets the expected outcomes, and prepares the framework for the work. During each session, notes are recorded across the categories that matter most to coaching documentation: observations about what the coach noticed, insights that emerged, breakthroughs that occurred, and action points that were agreed. Between sessions, the check-in system keeps coachees engaged with their development and gives coaches a continuous signal of how clients are progressing without requiring a full session to generate it. After a coaching engagement concludes, the complete record it produced - every session, every goal, every accountability item, every reflection - remains accessible. Coaching is cumulative. Its value is not located in any single session but in the progression of understanding and change that builds across all of them. Software that takes coaching seriously should reflect this cumulative nature rather than treating each session as an isolated event with no connection to what came before or what comes next.
Client management
Every coaching relationship in Exantur begins with a client record that holds contact information, current status, coach-private notes, the programs the client is enrolled in, an assigned coach within the organization, and a complete history of all the work done together. At a glance, a coach can see which clients are currently active, when each client's last session was, what accountability items are outstanding, and how recently a check-in was submitted. Clients can be searched by name and filtered by status. When a coaching relationship pauses or concludes, the client record persists as a complete account of the engagement - available for review, for handover to another coach, or as a reference if the relationship resumes at a later date.
Programs and sessions
Coaching programs are the primary containers for structured coaching engagements in Exantur. A program holds a name, a description, a start date, a planned end date, and an optional planned session count. Within each program, session records accumulate over time: each recording the date, duration, format or location, and a structured set of notes across observations, insights, breakthroughs, and action points. Free-form session content is also supported. Coach-private notes are stored separately and never exposed through the coachee portal. Over the course of a program, session records build into a complete documentary history of the engagement - searchable, reviewable, and available as context for every session that follows.
Accountability
Accountability is one of the most reliable mechanisms through which coaching produces lasting behavioral change. When a person has stated a commitment clearly, agreed on a timeline, and knows they will account for it in the next session, the probability of follow-through increases substantially. Exantur builds accountability into the coaching relationship as a native feature rather than something managed separately. Accountability items are created for a client, assigned a due date, and given a completion status. They are not attached to a single session - an item created in session two remains visible and tracked in sessions three, four, and five until it is marked complete or explicitly closed.
Check-ins between sessions
The work of coaching does not only happen during sessions. The reflection, the practice, the integration of new perspectives into daily behavior - this happens between sessions, in the ordinary territory of daily life. Check-ins are Exantur's tool for supporting this inter-session work. A check-in is a short, focused reflection that a coachee completes through their portal, responding to questions about their current state, progress on active goals, and other dimensions the coach considers relevant to track continuously. Coaches design the check-in format - using standard question sets or building custom sequences specific to a client's coaching journey.
Goals and progress
Goals in Exantur are attached to a client and can be associated with a specific program. Each goal has a description, an optional target date, a coach-assessed progress rating, and optionally a coachee self-rating - capturing both the coach's professional assessment of progress and the coachee's own experience of it. Goals can be updated as the coaching work develops. The record of how a goal was initially stated, how the coachee's relationship with it changed over time, and what the eventual outcome was forms part of the coaching history and a source of insight into the coachee's development.
Assessments
Exantur includes structured assessment tools that coaches can deploy with coachees as part of their work. These include a DISC-style behavioral profile assessment and a Wheel of Life exercise - two of the most widely used frameworks in professional coaching. Coachees complete assessments through their portal. Results are immediately available to the coach and become part of the coaching record, available as a reference point across the full engagement.
Documents and assignments
Coaches regularly share materials with coachees: frameworks to read, worksheets to complete between sessions, assignment briefs, reflection prompts, and supporting resources. In Exantur, all of these can be uploaded to a client's document library and made available through the coachee portal. Coachees can also upload documents - completed worksheets, written reflections, or materials they want to bring into the coaching conversation. All documents are stored securely, organized by client and program, and accessible throughout the engagement.
Coachee portal
The coachee portal is the part of Exantur that coachees interact with directly. Every coachee receives access to a portal through which they can see their own coaching journey: their active programs, the goals they are working toward and current progress on each, their check-in history, outstanding accountability items, documents and assignments their coach has shared, and their assessment results. The portal is designed to make the coachee an active participant in their coaching journey.
