Energy data collection, made simple
Collect energy data anywhere. Even offline.
Build a survey on the web. Your team fills it in on their phones, in homes, farms and factories. You see the answers as they arrive.
Web and Android today. iPhone coming soon.
The problem
Energy projects run on data. Getting it is the hard part.
Paper gets lost
Forms get wet, torn or left behind. Someone has to type every page in again, and mistakes creep in.
Cleaning takes weeks
Kilos in one column, litres in another, typos everywhere. The report waits while the data gets fixed.
Generic tools miss energy
Most survey apps do not know what a cookstove, a solar battery or a kilowatt-hour is. You build all of it yourself.
How it works
Three steps. No paper.
Features
Everything a field team needs. Nothing it does not.
Works offline
No signal? No problem. Answers are saved on the phone and sent later.
Speaks energy
Fuels, stoves, solar panels and batteries are built in. Just pick them.
Units that add up
Record in kg, litres or kWh. Ensurve keeps units consistent so totals are right.
Photo proof
Ask for a photo of the meter or the scale with every reading.
Smart questions
Questions appear only when they matter, based on earlier answers.
Daily diaries
Visit the same household every day and track change over time.
Live indicators
Set an indicator once. It updates with every new answer.
Built for teams
Invite your team and give each person the right role.
Built for energy
Not just cooking. All of energy.
Ensurve already knows the things energy teams measure, so your forms start smart instead of blank.
