Empowered CAPMAS with End-to-End Census Mobility Platform

CAPMAS needed to automate the end-to-end process of census in Egypt before it commences a nation-wide enumeration run where 44000 agents will count Egypt’s population in the duration of six months. CAPMAS chose our Microsoft based platform: NUSMS (National Unified Survey Management System) to empower agents with Windows 10 based mobile solutions for data collection, agent routing and monitoring as well as rich data analysis and reporting on KPIs using executive dashboards and color-coded Esri maps.

The manual processes were lengthy, tedious, and prone to human error. The physical documents were subject to damage, loss and multiple other hazards. At the very end of day, margins of data errors in final formal reports were at risk of mounting.The agency needed to complete the automation process before commencing a nation-wide enumeration run where 44000 agents will count Egypt’s population in six months.
