Tired of juggling projects, late-night surveys, and endless data entry? Coreo simplifies ecological data collection so you can maximise your impact.

How Coreo can help:

With its wide range of features focused on ecologists, Coreo will support you to streamline your data collection and give you more time to do the tasks that really matter.

Coreo comes with a library of pre-built survey templates including the UKHab Survey. Designed by co-authors of the UK Habitat Classification, eCountability, the App makes habitat surveying simple and accurate.

Get surveying in seconds, with Coreo’s Template Gallery

Pre-built templates include protected species surveys, UKHab survey, breeding bird and wintering bird and INNS survey
Customise the surveys to your particular project or use them immediately
Update your survey anytime you need to. Updates are pushed dynamically to everyone using your survey.

Capture locations

Record location data quickly and accurately using the GPS on your device.
Whether its point data, lines or polygons, you can record them with ease.
If you’ve already got locations you wish to use, import them into Coreo and reference them in your forms.

Improve data quality

Take control your datas’ quality with data validation.

Mandatory fields, drop-downs, multi-select lists and constrained numeric ranges all help reduce input errors.
And because your data is digital from the start transcription errors will be a thing of the past.
Custom reference guides provide you with in-field help when you need it.
Calculated fields and conditional questions make complex surveys super streamlined meaning that you can focus on what’s going on in the field rather than fighting with long paper forms.

Collaborate

Your surveys and/or data can be kept private. Or, you can set things up so that your whole team can collaborate.

You decide who gets access to which projects (and at what level)
You can set permissions for individual users to enable certain people to build new surveys and manage both the team and the data.
If you have access to our citizen science module, you can share your project with as many people as you like.

Manage your data

Easily manage all of your submitted data in Coreo’s Record Explorer module.

Quickly review and edit your records.
Set up a workflow to suit your needs. Once you’ve quality checked your data, tag your records.
Easily export your data in csv, GeoJSON or Shapefile format.
