Survey data collection platform

Find data problems while your team is still in the field.

Joripo carries a survey from questionnaire to clean dataset. Design forms in XLSForm, collect offline on Android with Joripo Collect, see quality checks on each interview as it reaches the server, and export files ready for Stata, SPSS or Excel.

  • Reads the XLSForms you already use
  • Offline on Android
  • 28 built-in quality checks
  • Stata, SPSS, Excel and CSV

One platform, the whole survey

From the first draft of a questionnaire to the dataset you analyse.

Most survey teams stitch together a form tool, spreadsheets of quality checks and a folder of export scripts. Joripo keeps the questionnaire, the field team, the checks and the exports in one place, so a problem found on Tuesday can be fixed before Wednesday's interviews.

Joripo's Forms home: three workspaces, each with a live form showing its submission count, last submission and Test, Edit, Upload and Download actions

Bring the XLSForms you already have.

Joripo compiles XLSForm workbooks itself, checks that each one opens, and deploys it to phones and web forms in one step. A workbook with problems is refused with every issue listed by sheet, row and column, and the live form stays as it was.

How form design works

High frequency checks, built in

Quality checks that run while the survey is still running.

Teams usually run high frequency checks in Stata or R, days after the data comes in. In Joripo they are part of the platform: each interview is checked as it arrives, and every finding says in plain words what was entered, what was expected and which enumerator was involved.

Quality findings: each check, its severity, the enumerator and a plain-language explanation, with Resolve and Dismiss buttons
  1. Open, resolved, dismissed

    Every finding for the workspace in one list, filtered by status and refreshed every 15 seconds while you work.

  2. A finding a supervisor can act on

    The check, the enumerator, the question and the value, with technical details folded away for analysts.

  3. A decision with a history

    Resolve or dismiss with a note. A dismissed finding re-opens on its own if the problem gets markedly worse.

  • 28 check types

    From interview duration and GPS to Benford's law, digit heaping and back-check comparison.

  • 12 on arrival

    Run on every interview as it reaches the server, from Joripo Collect, ODK Collect or a web form.

Where each person works

A console for the office, an app for the field, a desktop app for the analyst.

All three sign in the same way: the organisation's server name, a username or email, and a password. Each person only ever sees the workspaces their role allows.

Web · any browser

The Joripo console

Where managers design and deploy forms, run the field team, review quality findings, manage cases and export data. Reviewers and outside partners get exactly the access they are given.

Security and data protection

Respondent data handled with the care your ethics board expects.

Joripo is built for data about real people: names, phone numbers, locations, sensitive answers.

  • Collected data encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM on Joripo's hosted service, and HTTPS with HSTS in transit
  • Identifying answers pseudonymised, redacted or coarsened for anyone without identity access
  • Each organisation's data walled off from every other, checked by an automated sweep of every route
  • Passwords hashed with scrypt, sign-in lockouts and sessions that time out

How Joripo protects data

Privacy settings: identifying questions replaced by a pseudonym or a location rounded to about 1 km for anyone without identity access

Common questions

What teams ask before switching

Can we use the forms we already have?

Usually, yes. Joripo reads XLSForm workbooks (.xlsx), including SurveyCTO-compatible ones and their functions, and tells you on upload if anything in a workbook is not supported. Test the form in the browser before fieldwork to be sure. Forms that use public-key encryption are not supported.

Does data collection work without internet?

Yes, in Joripo Collect on Android: forms, drafts and case lists stay on the phone and finalized interviews send when a connection returns. Signing in and downloading forms need a connection once. Browser web forms need a connection to load and submit.

Is there an iPhone app?

Not today. Joripo Collect runs on Android 8.0 or newer. Respondents on any device can fill web forms in a browser, and ODK Collect can also connect to Joripo.

Where is our data kept?

On Joripo's hosted service, data is stored on the server that runs your organisation's Joripo, encrypted at rest. Organisations that need their own infrastructure can discuss self-hosting with us. See Security for the details.

How much does it cost?

Joripo is free for up to 5,000 submissions a month. Paid plans start at ৳12,500 (US$100) a month, VAT included, with every feature on every submission and unlimited team members. See Pricing.
