How Sauti Collect Works
Sauti Collect helps you to build custom surveys, collect reliable data, and monitor project progress, in challenging 'low-technology' contexts.
Survey Hard-to-Reach Populations at Scale
Provide trusted information to communities with limited connectivity using custom-built USSD, SMS, and WhatsApp-based platforms.
Full Customisation
Design USSD, SMS, and WhatApp-based platforms to target unique project needs:
- Conduct accurate and cost-effective remote mobile data collection with hard-to- reach communities.
- Ensure respondent anonymity when inquiring about sensitive topics.
- Reduce economic barriers to participation by sending surveys that are free to respondents and receivable by phones without airtime credit.
- Survey with multiple language options, including English, Kiswahili, Luganda, Kinyarwanda, Lukiga, Samia, and Somali.
Human-Centred Design
Put users at the centre of platform design and implementation to address barriers to scaled innovation adoption:
- Easily design custom surveys with skip logic and validation for required questions.
- Use real-time data to monitor key metrics and performance indicators.
- Automatically deposit and track incentives for survey completion via airtime credit and mobile money.
- Rapidly receive data in your preferred formats for exporting, analysis, and visualisation.
Integrated Solutions
Reduce distribution costs and enhance scale by deploying information solutions with proven potential for integration or ‘bundling’ with other services, such as:
- Rapidly deploy surveys and receive real-time responses for baseline studies, rapid monitoring, and impact evaluations.
- Reach individuals and businesses engaged in trade across East Africa.
- Segment audiences and tailor surveys to target key respondents by gender, age, location, and other custom criteria.

Discover your Sauti Collect use case
Since 2019, via Sauti Collect, Sauti has been able to offer an end-to-end USSD mobile data collection solution, from survey design and testing, to survey deployment and monitoring of incoming results – all from one user-friendly dashboard.
Sauti was enlisted to carry out a feasibility study for the construction of a new cross-border market in Kenya. The aim of the study was to identify the needs of different stakeholders to inform the design, construction and operations of the market. With the use of Sauti’s research consulting services, as well as the Sauti Collect data collection tool, we were able to provide a scalable and comprehensive data collection solution to identify the varying needs of the market stakeholders.
