Data
Collection

Mobile and digital data collection tools, configured around your programmatic needs.

The Challenge

Every field program runs on data gathered in collaboration with program participants—in a classroom, during a home visit, at a distribution point—often on a phone, often offline. Platforms such as CommCare, Teampact, and TaroWorks each support that collaboration differently, and the right choice depends on your workflows, your connectivity, and what your team does with the data next.

Who is this for

Chat with an expert
  • Organizations that deploy field staff working directly with program participants to collect program or service delivery data
  • Organizations running surveys, assessments, or case management in low-connectivity environments
  • Teams collecting service delivery data at the point of contact, such as attendance, sessions, or distributions
  • Organizations whose current data collection approach is paper-based or ready to move to a tool that connects with reporting systems
  • Teams designing a new program who want data collection built into the model from the start

Our Solutions

There are dozens of data collection platforms, each built around a different field workflow, connectivity need, and program model. Here are the platforms we work with most:

Built for case management, with two-way data sync and the ability to create and update ongoing case records for individuals or households. A strong fit for home-visit style programs and workflows that grow in complexity over time.
A mobile-first tool built for session attendance and outcomes tracking, and a natural fit for education, sport-for-development, and other program models with coaches, teachers, or facilitators in the field.
Built natively on Salesforce, extending your CRM straight to the field for frontline teams working offline. A strong fit for organizations that want field data to land directly in Salesforce without a separate integration step.
A flexible, feature-rich survey tool suited to one-off assessments, needs surveys, and cohort or follow-up data collection where advanced form logic is important.

Other form tools and offline data collection tools

Where your program uses more than one tool, or your team is ready to evaluate options beyond these, we assess your requirements against the full landscape of data collection platforms and recommend the appropriate mix.

Can you connect our field data to Salesforce and other systems?

We've grown alongside the social sector. Over the past fifteen years, we've partnered with more than 430 NGOs, funders, and social enterprises, completing over 1,650 projects. Our approach is rooted in listening closely, understanding each organization's unique challenges, and adapting our services as their needs evolve.

Your staff complete hands-on training covering both the platform and the forms specific to your program, alongside testing protocols and go-live support from the Vera team. Thereafter, your team owns day-to-day management, or you can engage Vera in a Managed Services engagement for ongoing support. We are also available for platform upgrades, new integrations, or additional training as your program grows.

We primarily work with CommCare, Teampact, TaroWorks, KoBoToolbox, and ODK, matched to your workflows, connectivity, and existing systems. We also have experience working with survey tools such as SurveyCTO and are happy to explore other tool recommendations.
