EXTO
Extension Officer Smart Tool
A structured way for officers to collect field data, and for organisations to trust it.
The problem
Extension officers are the link between organisations and farmers, but most still record field data on paper or in simple note-taking apps.
Those tools aren't made for structured surveys, and nothing shows where or when the data was collected. Organisations end up with data that is incomplete, inconsistent and sometimes made up.
For officers
A structured app for surveys, farm visits and market checks, designed for work in the field.
For organisations
Data collected to your survey design, checked and analyse before it reaches your dashboard.
For partners who want full control
A full version to create surveys, deploy your own officers and see the results.
How a project works
- 1
Tell us what you need
Share the questions, the goal and where the data should come from: market prices, aggregation hubs, source locations, farm data or farmers' views.
- 2
We build the survey
We turn your request into a survey task or research questionnaire in EXTO.
- 3
Trained officers collect it
Officers carry out the survey in the field using the app.
- 4
You see clean results
We check, clean and analyse the data and present it on your dashboard.
Built for integrity
EXTO is designed so field data can't be filled in from a desk.
Officers must be at the farm, market or location the data belongs to, every record carries real-time metadata, and records that fail the checks are sent back.
For any field team
EXTO started with agriculture, but it works wherever people collect data in the field.
Market researchers, development programmes and research teams can run their own surveys and get the same checks and clean results.
EXTO is being built now. Tell us what data you need, or suggest a feature you'd like built in.
