Adopt modern workflows, boost data accuracy, save time and money
Field data collection, or enumeration, is one of the largest activities a statistical organization will undertake. It is critical today to optimize efficiency in field activities. Whether you are interested in improving coordination, reducing reliance on paper, eliminating redundancies, or creating efficiencies, ArcGIS can help.

Reduce errors and boost productivity
Esri provides tools to help you manage your work and your workforce. ArcGIS Workforce is a mobile app that uses the power of location to coordinate your field workforce. It integrates work management to reduce reliance on paper and provides everyone with access to the authoritative data they need.
Save time, save money—collect smarter
The ArcGIS system comes with many tools that can be used for data collection. ArcGIS Field Maps is an all-in-one app that uses data-driven maps to help mobile workers perform field data collection and editing, including map editing. ArcGIS Survey123 is a complete formcentric solution for creating smart surveys and forms. ArcGIS QuickCapture allows you to configure a simple UI to capture data even from a moving vehicle. Choose the app that's right for you.
Eliminate duplication, improve accuracy
Validating data in the field is easier using Esri tools such as ArcGIS Field Maps and ArcGIS Survey123. Whether working in preenumeration during demarcation validation, or validating collection, these tools can streamline your work. Send data back to the office for analysis in real time, eliminate time spent manually processing handwritten notes, and reduce time needed on Post-Enumeration Survey (PES) activities.
Monitor status and performance indicators
Managing complex operations in the field can be time-consuming and costly. ArcGIS Dashboards enables users to convey information by presenting location-based analytics using intuitive and interactive data visualizations for decision-making. Visualize trends, and monitor status of the work and the workers in real time to improve outcomes.
