Case Study: TechnoServe improves real-time monitoring and offline data collection with Vera Solutions

TechnoServe tracks 1,700+ training groups in real time with Vera Solutions

TechnoServe, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating business solutions to poverty, faced a challenge as its operations expanded. Its existing Salesforce configuration could no longer handle the need for offline data collection in areas with low connectivity or analyze financial returns across multiple currencies. To more accurately capture its impact across East Africa, TechnoServe partnered with Vera Solutions for a more flexible monitoring and evaluation system.

Vera Solutions designed a custom Force.com database integrated with CommCare and OpenFn for offline mobile data collection. This solution enabled real-time data reporting and analysis, replacing a process that previously took up to three months to compile paper-based attendance data. The system allows TechnoServe to track over 1,700 training groups and instantly provide program managers with data, empowering data-based decision-making across its projects.
