Choose from the user-friendly online form designer, or program forms in Excel or Google Sheets. Our flexible skip logic allows for complex forms with sophisticated survey logic, while test-as-you-go features like our Form inspector and more ensure quality from form deployment through your data collection projects.

Say goodbye to limits with the SurveyCTO Collect app. With features for offline data collection, you can easily carry out your surveys and data flows in areas with no internet connectivity.

Make sure that only authorized parties have access to your data with customizable user roles. Want even more access control? Use Teams to keep projects completely separate from each other.

Know how your data is actually being collected on the ground through live data summaries, which helps solve problems and make workflow changes as needed to ensure better-quality data for your projects. Use our review and corrections workflow and built-in automated quality checks to manage incoming data and ensure accuracy and completeness.

SurveyCTO offers users end-to-end encryption, SSL, features to restrict access, and passwords to make your forms and data secure. Our platform is also SOC-2 certified and offers GDPR compliance, because data security is a top priority.

Our geolocation data collection capabilities let you take measurements, calculate areas and distances, plot routes on maps, and more for efficient fieldwork.

Integrate with the platforms you already use for data management and visualization, like Google Sheets and PowerBI, and with tools like Zapier for streamlined field communications. Want to build custom integrations? Create what you need with our REST API.

Track projects, facilities, survey respondents, and other entities across time or in multiple forms. Our case management functionality makes complex projects and longitudinal studies easier than ever! Combine with the advanced offline features to make data collected in one form immediately available in the next form while offline.

Our global Customer Support team is industry-leading in their response times and knowledge, so there’s always someone available to assist you.

We’re also hard at work inventing new ways to make your data collection better than ever before, like our ever-expanding suite of field plug-ins for easy form customization. We also make sure that help is always available to users by providing best-in-class customer support that’s 24/7, global, and has (on average) same-day response times.
