Here's what Collect users have to say:

“We collect data from the most remote, rural primary health centers in Uttar Pradesh where network is very poor. Collect allows us to collect data completely without internet — and most importantly, it works seamlessly!” - Thirumalai T.N., M&E Specialist, India Health Action Trust

“With Collect, we could create a common platform across multiple states and districts. Our program quickly scaled to 10 geographies, requiring language support across multiple languages, which Collect could manage with ease!” - Shreeya Ramakrishnan, Consultant (MIS and M&E), Tata Trusts
