Collect field data the smart way
VistaCollector gives your team a complete platform — from dynamic forms and geofenced collection zones to QC review queues and live analytics dashboards.
Self-hosted deployment. GIS-native workflows. No per-user licence fees.
Built for teams in the field
From building forms to verifying submissions — every step of the data collection lifecycle, in one place.
Dynamic Form Builder
Drag-and-drop fields — text, GPS, photo, audio, rating, drawing & more. Publish instantly to your collectors.
Geofencing & GIS ID Assignment
Draw custom polygons or pick preset wards to restrict data collection to exact geographic zones.
Mobile Field App
Collectors get a streamlined, offline-ready mobile view. GPS auto-capture and geofence alerts built in.
Quality Control Queue
QC reviewers approve, reject or request changes on submissions — with full media and metadata review.
Live Analytics
Submission trends, collector performance and QC turnaround — all on one dashboard.
Role-based Access
Admin, Project Manager, Field Collector and QC Checker — each with tailored workflows and permissions.
Four roles, one platform
Each role gets a tailored workspace — no clutter, just what you need.
Admin
Manage people, groups, projects and platform-wide analytics.
Project Manager
Build forms, draw geofences and assign collection & QC groups.
Field Collector
Fill assigned forms on a mobile layout and sync entries.
Quality Checker
Review, verify and approve or reject field submissions.
Field data collection shouldn't mean chasing spreadsheets, photos and survey teams.
Managing large field operations is more than collecting information on a mobile phone. Teams need to know what has been surveyed, where the work happened, whether the information is accurate, and what still requires attention.
Fragmented data
Replace disconnected spreadsheets, paper forms and scattered photo folders with structured digital submissions.
Unclear field assignments
Assign surveyors to defined geographic areas and monitor collection progress.
Unreliable submissions
Apply validation rules and quality-control reviews before data enters your final database.
Limited visibility
Track submissions, review status and collector performance from a central dashboard.
One platform. From field assignment to verified GIS data.
From assignment to verified data in six steps
- 01 — Create a project: Set up the survey and configure the workflow.
- 02 — Build your forms: Define fields and establish required information.
- 03 — Assign areas: Define wards and allocate work to teams.
- 04 — Collect data: Capture locations and evidence via mobile.
- 05 — Review: Inspect submissions, approve or return for correction.
- 06 — Export: Move verified data into your GIS or database.
Built for GIS, not just forms
Every field submission has a place in your spatial data workflow. Traditional form tools can capture information, but GIS-driven operations need geographic context and a path into mapping infrastructure.
- ✓ Capture geospatial info alongside survey attributes
- ✓ Organise work around geographic boundaries
- ✓ Connect field collection with PostGIS, QGIS, and GeoServer
Your field data. Your servers. Your control.
VistaCollector supports a self-hosted deployment approach, allowing the platform to be deployed within your organisation's approved infrastructure.
- Infrastructure flexibility: Deploy on customer-controlled cloud or on-premises.
- Data ownership: Keep collected data within your controlled environment.
Transparent project-based licensing
Pay for the project, not every field worker. Large surveys may involve hundreds of collectors; per-user pricing makes costs difficult to predict.
- Scale teams without a separate licence charge per user.
- Organise collection around defined projects and deliverables.
