Mobile Solutions and Surveying - PowerSurvey

PowerSurvey™ is user-definable, platform independent, mobile data capture and surveying software for handheld computers. It can be used by staff whom have minimal computer knowledge, to ensure that the results fit your requirements exactly. For users who do not return to the office regularly a range of data transfer options is available to get your collected data back to base. The solution can be GPRS or GMS enabled.

Using PowerSurvey provides tangible business benefits

• Save time on site and eliminate keyboard entry in the office. Analyse and present reports immediately the inspections are complete
   

• Validate users' input automatically on site. Eliminate errors from manually typing text into the office computer
   

• Ensure similarity of descriptions across all users, guaranteeing easy collation and summarising of results
   

• Release skilled staff from unprofitable repetitive tasks at all stages of recording, checking and presenting information
   

• Use PowerSurvey for any task where one would otherwise design a paper form. Create as many forms as required for different projects

For very complex requirements the PowerSurvey solution can be extended to PowerSurvey PLUS for use by professional programmers. PowerSurvey PLUS has at its centre a very powerful, but simple, solution that allows complex, heavy-duty data capture applications to be built, maintained and administered. The advanced solution can be used to design survey forms, which will exactly match the layout of complex, multi-file, relational databases, for direct importing of collected data. It can use multiple look-up tables on the handheld and download existing data to the handheld for review and updating on site.

User defined functions can be created to enhance the set of built-in functions. For instance, PowerSurvey PLUS can refer to its own data, this can be used to add new items to menus dynamically at run-time, to provide visited lists, etc.

Survey programs may be distributed in binary form (i.e. without source code) allowing 3rd party vendors to provide design services.
