Walking around, observing and making mental notes is sound management practice. Turning those observations into data is a simple technique that can help your organization make decisions based on statistical evidence instead of conflicting memories.
eWalk from KDS is an easy to use data collection system to collect, analyze and store data.
You can collect data directly through web-based forms, or download a data collection template to your handheld (iPhone/iPod Touch, Palm, Pocket PC, Blackberry) or laptop/netbook to record observations using various input elements including pull-downs, checkboxes, numeric entry, text entry etc.
The results are uploaded to the web for printing and instant data analysis. You can attach custom forms or export the data in a standard format that can be used in Excel, FileMaker and many other programs.
eWalk includes a variety of built-in statistical reports, including cross tabulations, comparisons, etc. Each data element is presented numerically and visually. For greater control, KDS can provide eWalk statistical reports customized for your organization.
eWalk can also be used with mVal to collect data for a wide variety of evaluation and reporting tasks.
