Data collection

Collect data from the field, analyse it the same day.

For field teams, surveys, audits and inspections. Build a form, capture entries wherever your people are, review them as they arrive, and see the results in a pivot without exporting a thing.

  • Forms you build
  • Capture by web or chat
  • Pivot the results

What changes

From clipboard to conclusions

Entries arrive structured, linked to the right place and person, and ready to analyse, so nobody spends a week typing up paper forms.

    Entries captured straight into MapleCore

  • Photos and notes scattered across phones

How it works

From form to findings

  1. 1

    Build the form

    Create forms from standard fields, or use a custom panel for anything unusual. Each form can be tied to locations, customers or leads.

    • Text, choices, numbers, dates and photos
    • Custom panels for special cases
    • Forms tied to locations and partners
  2. 2

    Capture anywhere

    Your team fills in forms on the web, on their phone, or in conversation with your chat bot. Entries are stamped with the person and the location.

    • Web and phone capture
    • Chat bot capture
    • Location and person recorded
  3. 3

    Review and link

    Entries land in a register with statuses, so supervisors can review, query or accept them. Each entry links to the customer, lead or documents it concerns.

    • Statuses for review
    • Linked to customers, leads and files
    • Scoped to the right location
  4. 4

    Pivot the results

    Turn reviewed entries into tables, heatmaps or charts by region, outlet or week, and export them when you need to share.

    • Pivot by any field
    • Heatmaps and charts
    • Export to share

Questions

What field teams ask us

Something else on your mind? Ask us directly.

Can people fill in forms on their phones?

Yes. Forms work on a phone's browser, and your chat bot can collect the same answers in conversation.

Can entries include photos?

Yes. Photos and files are attached to the entry and stored securely with it.

Who checks the entries?

Supervisors review entries in the register and accept or query them before they count in your results.

Can each region see only its own data?

Yes. Entries are scoped to a location, and permissions decide who sees what.

How do we analyse the results?

With pivots: choose rows, columns and values, and view them as a table, heatmap or chart.
