What's data collection software?

Does your company still rely on traditional paper-based forms and general-purpose software like Word and Excel, Google Docs, and Notes to collect data? At first glance it may seem more cost-effective, but as time goes by it can get expensive in terms of time and productivity. What you need is data collection software like Zoho Creator, that allows you to streamline all stages of your data collection process, so that your data is organized, meaningful, and accessible. It eliminates the need for paperwork and emails, and allows data to be quickly exported for analysis and reporting.

Orders, payments, site inspections, event registrations, quizzes, polls, surveys—create any type of form

Think of any type of online form you might ever need. We have it. Pick from a gallery of 50 customizable form templates and customize them with smartly designed fields.

Orders, payments, site inspections

Enterprise-grade data collection practices, built-in

  • Top-notch data security

    Decide what users can see based on their roles. Include an additional layer of protection by encrypting fields that contain sensitive data.

  • GDPR & HIPAA ready

    We've validated compliance and security, so you can have peace of mind.
