Transform your business with Coreo The ultimate digital survey tool

The Challenge

Time. We never have enough of it. And that’s never more true than in survey season.

When data collection processes are inefficient they add to our time pressures, including time spent unnecessarily on transcribing, validating and correcting data.

Paper-based methods, in particular, result in slow workflows and lack of data visibility to colleagues. They also make it difficult to efficiently provide crucial evidence, like photos.

Inefficient survey methods cost businesses both time and money.

Ultimately they can also impact data security and data integrity.

Time is short spend it doing the things that matter Coreo provides organisations with a powerful but easy-to-use platform that streamlines and improves your business’ data collection processes. It does this by: ● Enabling you to collect the high quality, rich data you need using Coreo’s intuitive survey builder and the technology packed into your device, such as GPS and camera. ● Completely eliminating time wasted transcribing data from paper to digital. ● Standardising data collection across your organisation. ● Simplifying complex surveys using form logic and calculated fields. ● Enabling surveys and data to be shared with colleagues. ● Giving you access to all the surveys you need in one app and keeping them in-sync across your organisation. ● Allowing you to access your data any place, any time.

Coreo in action Surrey Wildlife Trust (SWT) and Surrey Biodiversity Information Centre (SBIC) have introduced Coreo to help them transform the way they handle surveying in the field and have realised the considerable benefits that come with moving to a digital method of data capture.

Due to Coreo’s flexible nature, the ecological consultancy aspect of the Trust has been able to transfer complex surveys into the platform too.

Surveys have been set up to: ● Undertake a wide variety of ecological work, from bat surveys to habitat assessments. ● Engage with citizen scientists. Coreo’s ID guide features have helped to make this a success.

Coreo has provided SWT and Surrey Biodiversity Information Centre with exactly the right toolset to enable us to undertake a business-critical move from a paperbased to digital data recording organisation.

No other systems we’ve used have a comparable range, flexibility or ease-of-use.

Where else can Coreo be used?

Organisation A has been monitoring conservation activities on their sites for years. Previously this was done on paper and the data moved to Excel and QGIS - a lengthy and complicated process that required training. By using Coreo, surveyors can accurately and easily record and view all activities and observations at their sites straight from the app. Site boundaries are preloaded into Coreo making the whole process incredibly user friendly.

Organisation B works with over 20 surveyors in peak periods.

As staff are out on site for days, or even weeks, data flow is slow, and they have been struggling with how to quality check this vast amount of information using paper-based systems. By using Coreo, staff have immediate access to all the records online, can query issues with surveyors directly from Coreo and view an audit trail of activity with any record, to ensure data integrity.

Person C works on multiple survey-based projects simultaneously and has to keep a supply of paper forms in the car at all times. In the past, completed surveys have been lost or damaged. By using Coreo, they have access to all of their surveys within one app and, since there’s no more data transcription, it saves hours each week. For surveys that are done in the dark, they find the app really helps with completing the required information.

So, how does Coreo work?

Features & benefits

Location based data Whether it’s point, line or polygon data, Coreo allows you to capture the data you need. You can even upload location data, including boundaries, to work with in your surveys.

Media Media files, especially photos and videos can be critical evidence for your surveys. Coreo makes collecting these simple whilst you’re in the field.

Work offline You’ve never got data when you need it. That’s why Coreo works when you have no data. Collect your records and simply submit them when you’re next online.

Simplify surveys Coreo lets you build logic into your surveys, meaning that you only ever see the questions you need to answer. Calculated fields make your surveys more powerful.

Collaborate With Coreo, you have complete control over your data. Keep it personal or invite others to work with you on projects. Control who has access on a project by project basis.

Fully scalable Coreo has no limits. No matter the scale of your organisation, Coreo is designed to enable you to collect unlimited data across endless projects. From Great Crested Newt, bat and badger work to habitat and botanical surveys, Coreo allows you to collect all the data your organisation needs.

Reference guides A unique feature of Coreo is the ability to create mediarich reference guides at the click of a button. Whether it’s an ID guide for farmland birds, or field signs for mammals, Coreo makes it simple.

Dynamic When you’re online, data is instantly accessible via the Coreo app, so you can easily view what’s been recorded before for repeat site visits. And if you need to update a survey’s structure, that’s simple. Any changes you make get propagated instantly to anyone using the survey.

Valid data Coreo makes it easy to control what data can be entered. Reduce errors by using dropdowns, searchable lists and flagging obligatory fields.

Safe and secure Coreo uses industry standard data security and has features such as version control and audit logs, so that you always know who did what and when to your records.
