See how it works

Capture

Keep working offline.

Give enumerators defined work areas and digital questionnaires. Save outlet records and photos on the device, then sync when coverage returns.

Verify

Review the evidence.

Check location and photo evidence, track review decisions and resolve gaps before accepting records into the census.

Deliver

Use the approved data.

See progress by market and work area, then export approved records for analysis and route-to-market planning.

The Market Atlas intelligence layer

Follow the evidence back to the outlet.

GPS, storefront photos and review decisions give your team a traceable record. See potential duplicates before approval and use coverage gaps to decide where to send the team next.
