Any other potential costs to consider?

Depending on the nature of your project or requirement, you may need to consider resources to support your mobile data collection:

  • Airtime

    For Mobenzi Researcher to function, each handset must either have airtime or data connectivity. In South Africa, we offer SIM monitoring, RICA registration, automated recharges and a range of related logistics services.

  • Messaging

    By purchasing message credits, you are able to communicate with team members, respondents, customers and other stakeholders via SMS integrated directly into the Mobenzi Researcher console.

  • Survey / form setup

    First time users often prefer to seek professional survey or form design assistance. Consulting can be provided directly by our team, or one of our partners.

  • Training

    One of Mobenzi Researcher's key benefits is how little training it requires to operate - especially for fieldworkers. It's often beneficial however to conduct a short fieldworker and/or administrator training session to get the most out of Mobenzi Researcher's capabilities. Training can be provided directly by our team, via web conferencing, or a local partner.

  • Customisation

    The Mobenzi Researcher API unlocks infinite possibilites ranging from simple integration or reporting to complete custom system development - depending on your requirements. Make use of your own development team, or contact one of our partners to discuss your needs.
