Welcome to the Smap documentation
Smap Consulting (Smap) provides digital tools for a wide range of Applications including Evaluation, Monitoring, Guidance, and Case Management.
Why Digital Data Collection?
Digital data collection offers three key advantages over traditional methods:
Lower costs - Reduce expenses associated with paper-based systems
Higher quality data - Minimize errors and inconsistencies
Faster insights - Apply learning from your data immediately
How Smap Goes Further
While all digital tools provide these benefits, Smap is designed to close the loop between data collection and action. Traditional approaches create delays between collecting data and implementing changes—sometimes weeks or months. Smap reduces this cycle time to days or even seconds.
This speed transforms how you work. Whether you're running evaluation cycles (Plan-Do-Check-Act) or research and learning programs, Smap lets you collect data and immediately use those same tools to implement improvements. The result: faster iteration, better decisions, and greater program impact.
