Distributed
• Supports multiple entry points, including mobile• Easy cloud upload enables distributed data
capture.• Supports popular cloud-based solutions such as
Salesforce, Box, Dropbox and Constant Contact.
Privacy: your data is secureHuman workers do some data entry/ data verification to calibrate and check our software tools. This achieves high accuracy.
However, no individual worker can access a whole form or multiple data points from a single form. This keeps your data secure.
The key to our technology is “shredding” the digital image of the form.
