Built by practitioners, for practitioners

Quneiform wasn’t built in a vacuum. It is a product of the Urban Management Centre (UMC), an organization with over 25 years of experience in urban governance and large-scale field programmes across South Asia.

We understand the messiness of field data because we've been there. Our platform reflects the rigour required for institutional data pipelines.

Organizational DNA

  • Women-led Organization
  • 25+ Years of Governance Experience
  • WASH & Urban Planning Experts

Offline Drafts

Enumerators can save partial surveys and resume later. Data syncs automatically when online.

Aadhaar Integration

Verify beneficiaries instantly using Aadhaar eKYC during registration or survey.

Multilingual Forms

Collect data in 22 Indian languages. Scripts render correctly on every device.

Real-world Use Case

Managing a rural health survey across 3 districts with 40 enumerators.

The Challenge

Collecting health indicators for 5,000 households in areas with zero 4G connectivity and respondents speaking three different dialects.

The Solution

Using Quneiform's offline support and multilingual schemas, enumerators collected data in their mother tongue, with GPS-tagged submissions syncing nightly at the district office.
