With help from Softengi, Intecracy Lab developed an interactive system for the real-time gathering of information from different sources (mobile terminals, telephone calls, SMS, web, etc.) – Megapolis.SocialPoll.
Later on, Softengi was engaged by one of its clients to deliver an automated system that could offer a functionality similar to that of the abovementioned system. Therefore, the Softengi team used this system as a basis for the new solution, and customized it in accordance with the client’s requirements and needs.
Conduct exit polls by gathering information by means of mobile devices;
Present the real-time exit poll results;
Conduct a parallel vote tabulation;
Track issues and violations committed during the elections;
Visualize and analyse the information gathered.
The main function of the ExitPoll automated system was the real-time gathering of information from voters immediately after they exited the polling stations. Therefore, it was to be simple-to-use and mobile.
The ExitPoll system worked with information objects (subjects of the surveys held) and their properties. The object properties could be manually added and modified without any quantitative restrictions. The system also allowed to form relationships between different objects, attach files of any type in the object description, as well as automatically select properties frequently used to describe objects of a certain type.
The solution consisted of two parts: the server side and the mobile applications (on both iOS and Android).
The server side had a rich functionality allowing users to create an exit poll campaign, set it up stating the questions, and choosing the predefined answers and their types from a catalogue of answers and thus making a questionnaire. As the system was meant to be used by pollers/interviewers, the development team made it possible to add users to the exit poll campaigns, and grant them different roles and access on the server side.
It was agreed that the mobile apps would be developed for both iOS and Android. To save a lot of time and make these apps as similar as possible, the Softengi developers decided to use the Apache Cordova framework (formerly known as PhoneGap).
Conduct surveys using the automatic forms with the predefined multiple choice election-related questions, and Yes/No questions;
Oversee the geographic location of the conducted exit poll;
Monitor the data gathering time;
Make photo-reports on the candidates’ information materials, booklets, billboards, etc.;
Track violations committed at the polling stations, and send photo-reports to the server.
The system used the GIS interface, which presented the statistics on the map (e.g., map of a city, a region, or a country), used time markers, supported different geodata formats, allowed the tracking of connections between the objects, and displayed the object descriptions.
The ExitPoll automated system had a powerful reporting function. It allowed:
Searching and filtering for any type of object according to different attributes;
Comparing the data provided by several performers;
Presenting the reports in tabular or graphic form (simple chart, complex chart, diagram, table, histogram, pie chart, maps, etc.);
Exporting reports to MS Excel;
Printing and saving reports in different formats.
The ExitPoll system was successfully used by the customer’s coordination centers during the Presidential and Parliamentary elections.
As the world becomes increasingly digital, more and more IT software products emerge in the market. Competition is fierce, and consumers are becoming more demanding of IT software products. Today, customers do not just want a good service, they want an experience. Softengi has optimized the PEAK 15 CRM solution with greater UI/UX design to make it more appealing and user-friendly for PEAK 15's customers.
Softengi has developed a portal of the Unified Complex Monitoring and Forecasting System (UCMFS) on request of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Kyrgyz Republic sponsored by the World Bank. The web platform solution is a complex geo monitoring and forecasting tool, which enables specialized authorities to share valuable information, forecast natural hazards and cooperate in research and the event of an emergency.
