WHAT WE DO
Paper forms and spreadsheets cost more than you think.
We can digitise + automate it.
Paper-based data collection, manual re-keying + disconnected field tools create errors, delays + gaps in the data that operational teams depend on. Field teams use apps that don’t talk to back-office systems. Data sits in siloed spreadsheets that no one fully trusts. When something goes wrong, there’s no audit trail - just PDFs.
Rayven replaces all of that with custom digital field apps, standardised data capture + automatic workflows that connect what’s collected in the field to every system that needs it. With the option of having our team design + deploy it for you.

Why we're faster, better + lower cost.
Don't start from scratch: we balance customisability + capability with speed and long-term support.

Explore Security →WHY FIELD DATA FAILS
Why field data stays disconnected from your systems.
Paper forms + manual re-keying
Illegible entries, missing fields + data transcribed by hand into spreadsheets or systems. Every handoff introduces errors. By the time data reaches decision-makers it's late, incomplete + untrusted.
No offline capability
Field workers in remote sites, cold stores, basements or areas with poor signal can't submit data in real time. Most consumer form tools require a live connection. Work stops, or worse - data is captured on paper and re-entered later.
Disconnected from office systems
Data captured in the field lives in a different tool from the ERP, WMS, CMMS or SCADA system that needs it. Someone has to manually copy it across - creating delays, duplication + version control headaches.
No standardisation across teams
Every team uses a slightly different version of the form. Field workers skip fields. Free-text answers are inconsistent. Data that should be comparable across sites or shifts can't be aggregated or reported on reliably.
No real-time visibility
Management can't see what's happening in the field until someone files a report - which might be days later. Issues that could be caught immediately escalate undetected. There's no live dashboard, no alert, no instant escalation path.
Consumer tools that don't scale
JotForm, Typeform + similar tools are great for simple web forms. They hit limits fast for enterprise field collection: no offline, no system integration, no workflow automation, no governance. And they don't connect to IoT + sensor data.

DEFINITION
What is data collection software?
Data collection software replaces paper, spreadsheets + manual processes with structured digital capture. Field workers use purpose-built apps to submit forms, photos, signatures + readings - which flow automatically into the systems and workflows that need them.
Rayven extends this to cover what most tools can’t: IoT + sensor data alongside field submissions, direct integration with ERP, SCADA + WMS systems, and AI-powered validation + automation on every submission - all within a single unified data platform.
WHAT RAYVEN REPLACES
Tools Rayven replaces - or integrates alongside
Rayven can integrate to existing tools as data sources rather than replacing them.
FAQS
Data collection software, questions answered.
The questions ops leads, field managers + digital transformation teams ask most often.
What is data collection software?
Data collection software replaces paper forms, spreadsheets + manual processes with structured digital capture. Field workers submit forms, photos, readings + signatures via purpose-built apps - which connect automatically to the systems that need the data. Rayven combines field data collection with system integration, workflow automation + AI in a single unified platform.
How is Rayven different from SafetyCulture (iAuditor)?
SafetyCulture is a strong inspection + audit tool. It’s purpose-built for safety and compliance use cases, which limits its applicability elsewhere. It has limited integration with back-office systems and no native IoT or OT capability. Rayven builds any type of field app - inspections, work orders, environmental monitoring, inventory counts and more - and connects them to every system in your stack, including SCADA, ERP + IoT sensors. See the Rayven Integration layer.
How is Rayven different from Microsoft Power Apps?
Power Apps is a capable app builder, but it’s M365-centric: best when your stack is predominantly Microsoft. Building complex apps requires significant developer effort, and OT / industrial integration is not natively supported. Rayven covers a broader range of systems - including IoT + OT - offers a no-code builder that doesn’t require a developer, and adds AI-native capabilities + done-for-you delivery.
Does Rayven work offline in the field?
Yes, full offline functionality. Field workers can capture forms, photos, signatures + readings without any mobile signal. All data is stored on-device and synced automatically as soon as connectivity is restored - with no action required from the user. This is critical for remote sites, underground locations, cold stores + factory floor environments. Read about how Rayven handles data.
How does collected field data connect to our back-office systems?
Every form submission can trigger automated actions: update an ERP work order, raise a purchase order, notify a manager via email or SMS, log a record to a CMMS, sync readings to a SCADA historian, or kick off a multi-step approval workflow. Rayven has 600+ pre-built connectors. See how the Rayven Integration layer makes this possible.
Can Rayven collect IoT and sensor data alongside field submissions?
Yes, this is one of Rayven’s key differentiators. Field form data and IoT / sensor readings are unified in the same data fabric. You can combine a technician’s inspection submission with live equipment readings from the same asset - in the same dashboard, report or automated workflow. Read about the Rayven Data layer.
What types of field apps can Rayven build?
Any type your operation needs. Common examples include: inspections + audits (safety, quality, environmental), work orders + maintenance logs, site registers + inductions, inventory + stocktake, fleet checks, delivery + proof-of-delivery forms + environmental data capture. If you can describe the workflow, Rayven can build the app. Talk to us about your use case.
Can Rayven replace our paper inspection or work order process?
Yes, completely. Rayven digitises paper-based inspection forms and work orders into mobile apps that work offline, capture photos + signatures, route for approval + sync automatically to the systems managing those assets. The result: no manual re-keying, no missing data + a full audit trail. See how Rayven automates what happens after capture.
Do field workers need to be technical to use the apps?
No. Rayven field apps are designed for everyday field workers, not software users. Simple, intuitive interfaces optimised for mobile + gloved hands. Workers tap through forms, scan QR codes + attach photos - the complexity is entirely hidden in the back end. See a demo of the field app experience.
How is Rayven’s data collection priced?
Flat platform subscription - not per-submission or per-user in the field. You don’t pay more as your team grows or as you add more form types. Done-for-you delivery is fixed-scope, fixed-price. Contact us for a pricing conversation.
Where is field data stored and is it secure?
Data is stored in your chosen environment: Rayven-managed SaaS (Azure), your own private cloud (AWS, Azure or GCP) or on-premise. All data in transit is encrypted. Role-based access controls what each user can see and submit. Every submission is versioned + audit-logged for compliance. Read about hosting, security + compliance.
Why Rayven costs less than enterprise solutions.
Businesses of all shapes and sizes need powerful systems, but not the cost and chaos that come with traditional enterprise software.
Rayven delivers the same outcomes as multiple, expensive enterprise technologies, but with a radically lighter footprint + much, much faster.
Everything you need in one platform.
Integration, storage, data processing, automation, AI + apps: one platform.
We own, build + run our own technology.
No resellers or third-party mark-ups; new capabilities are aligned to you.
Delivered for you by our specialists.
We design, build, deploy + support - no need for developers or consultants.
