10,000-respondent commute study, zero data-cleanup overhead.

WRI India needed to survey 10,000 youth in Rohtak about their commute experiences — and needed clean spatial data at the end of it, not a backlog of CSV reconciliation.

Context

WRI's mobility team set out to characterise youth commute patterns across an entire mid-sized Indian city. Field-survey logistics at that scale are usually where a research project bleeds budget — printed forms, manual digitisation, GPS errors that require revisits.

What we built

Geodit handled the full collection workflow. Shapefile-defined survey areas, role-based enumerator teams, offline-capable Android and web collection, photo and GPS validation per response, and live progress dashboards for the WRI team.

Outcome

10,000 structured, geocoded responses delivered as analysis-ready GeoJSON. No post-collection digitisation phase. Survey closed on schedule.

Antef's platform made the process seamless for students. The data received was comprehensive — an invaluable tool for survey research. Highly recommended.
