PAPERLESS DATA COLLECTION TOOL



Dear  All,

I would like to share my experience with you in improving data collection methods. I am introducing ​to you ​paperless tool CSentry app​ for data collection using android tablets​ (​https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gov.census.cspro.csentry&hl=en​). 

The use of PC and android package is completely free, available in the link https://www.census.gov/population/international/software/cspro/csprodownload.html.

This package is used by Census Bureau of America for census or population survey of united states​.
 ​If you will be interested, we can arrange for a showcase to indicate how CS
​E​
ntry app​ works in android tablets ​as well as windows ​PC​

 Six (6) advantages of using PC/tablets with CSPro are; 
  1. ​No purchasing cost for the software, No subscription costs as compared to SurveyCTO, Nfiles, Collect, SurveyBe, etc 
  2. Ensures quality of data as it can be programmed for ​robust ​error​ checking ​and in-consistences
  3. Saves costs of data entry if hard-copies of questionnaire could be used
  4. Saves time for the entire project as there are no need of data entry task and checking for errors in the forms
  5. ​Ensures all cases have no missing ​values ​as CSPro does not accept ​​case to be saved if at least one question is missing response​ and ​or to ​continue with interview if question in action is not answered. (100% No missing data​)
  6. Data is secured as it is uploaded to the server on daily basis (FTP server, ​CSweb, ​Dropbox, Bluetooth-Master tablet). Hard copies can be spoiled or lost in the process. If tablet is lost no one can access data as it has been uploaded to server and CSPro is always locked with passkey

We can do it, with trust and passion; For this service contact ​signature below
