onaData

onaData is a platform for collecting and managing data, primarily used in the context of humanitarian and development projects. It provides tools for creating forms, collecting data in the field through mobile devices, and subsequently analyzing and visualizing that information. The platform is designed to be accessible and user-friendly, catering to organizations that may not have extensive technical expertise in data management.

The core functionality of onaData revolves around form building. Users can design surveys and questionnaires using a web-based interface, specifying various question types, logic, and constraints. This allows for the creation of tailored data collection instruments. Once forms are deployed, field teams can utilize the onaData mobile application, which works offline, to gather data. This offline capability is crucial for projects operating in areas with limited or no internet connectivity.

After data is collected, it can be uploaded to the onaData server for processing. The platform offers features for data cleaning, validation, and basic analysis. Users can export their data in common formats such as CSV, enabling further analysis in other statistical software or business intelligence tools. onaData also provides basic visualization capabilities, allowing users to generate charts and maps to better understand their data. Its open-source nature and focus on humanitarian use cases have made it a popular choice for NGOs and international organizations.
