Automated Data Capture and Survey Form Design - Formic.

Compact provides a comprehensive, automated survey forms processing service, including form design, print, scan, capture, database creation, data validation and data analysis.
Using the latest technology in handwriting recognition and OCR, Formic provides accurate data capture.
Formic's modular approach to data capture includes a "design" module, "capture" module and "dataview" module.

Design

Let Compact design your survey forms from the outset maximising the amount of data automatically captured. Our experience can make the difference between capturing 50% of your data or 100%.

We will advise on font type and size, paper type and page colour to maximise your results. We can even print the forms for you.

Formic has a flexible design module, enabling recreatation of existing forms or production of new designs.

Capture

Using the latest techniques such as tick box group capture, auto image area capture and hand writing recognition object capture, formic will accurately lift your data from the page and into your database for comprehensive analysis.

Data rules and validation ensure a smooth flow of accurate data from the page to the database.

Dataveiw

The Dataview module allows us to validate your data against a criteria set by you. Data can then be exported to various database formats including Microsoft Access, Excel, SPSS and CSV plus many more.
