Field research, logged as it happens.
UtafitiLog gives research teams a data-collection app for farmers and enumerators, and a dashboard that updates as observations arrive. You design both by connecting building blocks, with no programming.
Built on the FLAMENCO citizen observatory platform.
From a question to live data
An observatory is the app and dashboard for one kind of data. Campaigns reuse an observatory for a specific project, place or season.
-
Build an observatory
Choose what your field team records, such as crop, plot location or soil moisture, and how results are processed and shown.
-
Launch a campaign
Focus on one project: draw an area on the map, set a time window, and get a dashboard just for it.
-
Collect in the field
Farmers and enumerators submit observations from the mobile app. Each one is tagged with time and place.
-
Watch results arrive
Dashboards update as observations come in. Export to Excel whenever you need the raw data.
Made for work on the farm
Anyone with a smartphone can contribute, so a whole farming community can take part in a study, not just the research team.
Why teams use it
No programming
Connect building blocks to design the app, the processing and the dashboard.
Real time
Observations upload as they're made and appear on the dashboard straight away.
Built for teams
Run a project on your own or as an organisation, with many people collecting at once.
Research-grade data
Structured, located and timestamped observations that are ready for analysis.
Works on any smartphone
The field app is lightweight and fast, and easy on the battery.
Place and season
Limit each campaign to an area and a time window to keep data focused.
Community input
It's simple enough that the whole community can feed into the research, not only specialists.
Private by default
Personal data isn't shared with third parties or used for commercial purposes.
