The problem

Field surveys are hard for reasons that have little to do with the questions.

No connectivity

Surveyors work in remote areas with no reliable signal. Most digital tools simply stop working.

Questionable data

With thousands of responses, some will be rushed, mistaken or fabricated. Spotting them by hand is near impossible.

Coordination

Many surveyors, many forms, many projects at once — each person should only see what they're allowed to.

Renting, not owning

Hosted survey tools cap usage, keep your data on someone else's cloud, and bill you every year.

The platform

One system for the whole survey lifecycle.

From form design to field collection to analysis — everything in one place, built for the way field teams really work.

Select a stage to explore its features

Design forms your way

Drag-and-drop 20+ question types. Add logic and calculations without writing code — or let AI draft the form.

  • Skip logic & validation rules
  • Point-and-click calculation builder
  • Import from Word or Excel
  • English & Bangla in one form

And everything around it

Teams & permissions

Super admin, project admin, manager and surveyor roles — everyone sees exactly what they should.

Suspicious-data detection

Same-spot GPS, impossible travel, rushed fills and copy-pasted answers are flagged for review, with thresholds you set globally or per form.

Instant calculations

Scores, indicators and eligibility decisions are computed the moment a form is submitted.

Your branding

Your name and logo on the web dashboard and the mobile apps.

English & Bangla

Every screen and every form in both languages, for staff and respondents alike.

Scheduled reports

Receive ready-made reports on a schedule, or download them in one click.

Complete activity history

A full record of who did what and when, for accountability and audit.

Review & approve

Reviewers inspect answers, locations and recordings, then approve or send back.

AI, on your terms

Describe a survey. Get the form.

Type your survey in plain words, or upload an existing paper or Word questionnaire. DataWave's AI builds the digital form — keeping every question exactly as written. Days of setup become minutes.

  • Form creation & translation — English ⇄ Bangla
  • Per-submission summaries — a clear, readable summary of every response
  • Audio validation — check submissions against interview recordings
  • Report generation — draft analysis reports from your data

Usage is metered at cost with a built-in monitor and monthly spending caps — no surprise bills.
