Collecting data in remote locations - where Internet connection is intermittent or non-existent - is often a difficult, time-consuming, and frustrating experience because most digital solutions are not designed to work offline.

CommCare, an open source mobile application platform, helps solve this problem. Using CommCare, anyone can build a mobile app that works offline and tracks information over time. With free design libraries to choose from, you can create and customize the perfect mobile app in just days without the use of developer resources. After your app is built, any client-facing workers can easily collect and access client data directly from their mobile devices. Plus, you can monitor your team's activity, run reports, and access client information from the web at any time.

Through their integration to Zapier and its 750+ apps, you can now communicate data captured in CommCare with any of your favorite tools. You can post new form submissions to your team chat or log entries on a shared spreadsheet. Empower your team with a mobile app without sacrificing any of the functionality you're used to with Zapier + CommCare.
