Helping Social Organisations Drive Tech and Data-Driven Solutions
Field Survey Tools Digitization
Leave traditional paper data collection behind. Switch to digitization for real-time, high-quality, and secured data and to maximize the value of your project impact.
We at Trestle use SurveyCTO, a robust data collection platform created especially for collecting high-quality data and used by researchers and professionals over more than 165 countries. High-quality data is essential for getting the ground insights and evaluating the program impact.
Our main goal is to help organizations create polished data collection forms and surveys that encourage data driven decisions. We're dedicated to ensuring that high-quality data is gathered suitable for your program needs while keeping a sharp focus on data security and quality, particularly in offline settings.
We’re here to fill the gap and offer the knowledge needed to tackle the situation. We are committed to helping you succeed in the M&E forms, Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA) and Early Grade Mathematical Assessment (EGMA) programs.
Our Approach
We help you through every stage, depending on your choices, either we handle the procedure on your behalf, or you'd like to do it yourself with adequate and independent knowledge.
Using SurveyCTO, we digitize tools, create modular workflows with complex branching logic, non-linear navigation, randomize elements, add multimedia and GIS capabilities, and link previous survey rounds. Imagine the digital data collection workflow, and we design it.
We enable educators and researchers to promote long-lasting improvements in educational outcomes across India through our EGRA and EGMA initiatives. We help you provide the tools you need, and ensure your success, from creating efficient surveys to supporting EGRA and EGMA programming.
Dashboards for M&E and KPI Tracking
Trestle understands the challenges involved in understanding data and findings from spreadsheets.
We develop dashboards that make data visualization easy, track inputs outputs, track indicators, evaluate project deliverables on real-time, and make data-driven decisions.
After we get the KPIs list from you, we design the charts and scorecards for you, ensuring seamless implementation and integration of various tools.
Our Offer
Our dashboards give researchers and program managers a complete dynamic visualization of the performance of the program inputs and outputs, and the field work progress. These dashboards can be easily shared with stakeholders, NGO partners, and other parties using insights and visualizations.
Dashboards share the project’s data journey. A comprehensive research and development program is put in place to help determine the best course of action to address your concerns and realize your vision.
