Better digital MRV for carbon offset projects
See how SurveyCTO powers digital monitoring, reporting, and verification (DMRV) with trustworthy measurement, verification, and reporting for your carbon offset projects.
Transparency and data integrity in carbon offset projects is more critical than ever.
We believe the solution is surprisingly simple. High-quality, real-time data is the missing ingredient for more impactful and credible carbon offset projects. With accurate, complete, and immediately-available project data, you can have peace of mind knowing you’re recording and reporting only on high-integrity data.
SurveyCTO is a user-friendly, highly-secure data collection platform that lets you build better DMRV workflows for carbon offset tracking.
Collect and monitor trustworthy data via built-in data quality tools and transparent workflows designed to help you demonstrate project impact, ensure integrity, and provide transparency.
Why PowerSolve Technologies uses SurveyCTO to track carbon offset data
Proving the efficacy of carbon offset projects requires high-quality, transparent data, but you’re probably dealing with:
- Time-consuming and error-prone manual data collection
- Lack of real-time data visibility for clients
- Fragmented data systems that create costly inefficiencies
- A compliance market with ever-changing regulatory requirements to abide by
- Increasingly careful consumers who want real evidence of carbon offsets’ impact
- The potential for investor pullback and loss of credibility if you don’t have high-quality data
SurveyCTO’s extensible field data collection software enables you to:
- Measure carbon offset levels in locations with no internet connectivity
- Collect data for any project—whether i’s from clean cookstoves, installing water filters, biodigesters, and more!
- Capture onsite data like images, timestamped GPS logs, audio clips, metadata, and more for added transparency
- Show the exact, GPS-based location of where a distribution took place
- Integrate with other popular tools for data visualization and analysis
- Create custom integrations using our REST API for seamless data flow into external CRMs and other data systems
