The data lag that quietly puts your next grant at risk

Your programs are doing real work on the ground. But between the moment data is captured in the field and the moment it appears in a donor report, things slow down, break, or disappear. That gap is where stress, rework, and funding risk live.

The Excel Nightmare

The Excel Nightmare

You know this story:

  • 50+ spreadsheets from different field teams
  • Different formats, different column names, different versions
  • One wrong formula breaking half the workbook the night before submission

By the time the “final” version is ready, nobody is sure which numbers to trust.

Blind Spots in the Field

Blind Spots in the Field

Because everything is so manual and delayed, you:

  • Wait weeks just to see basic activity data from the field
  • React to issues long after they’ve already hurt your outcomes
  • Struggle to answer simple questions like, “How many beneficiaries did we actually reach last month?”

Leadership and donors see this as “weak visibility”. You feel it as constant firefighting.

Compliance Anxiety

Compliance Anxiety

Meanwhile, donor expectations are only getting stricter.

  • USAID, FCDO/DFID, and UN frameworks expect clean, auditable evidence
  • Data protection rules are tightening
  • Every report feels like a potential audit trigger

You’re not worrying about buzzwords like “digital transformation”.
You’re worrying about the next audit, renewal, or no-cost extension conversation.

It’s 2:00 AM. A Program Manager or M&E Lead is still awake, fixing merged cells and broken dates in Excel before a morning donor deadline. The work in the field is strong. The data pipeline is not.

And you know you can’t keep doing this every quarter.

The problem

One ecosystem from dusty field devices to
donor-ready reports

EPixelSoft’s Digital Field Operations Suite doesn’t start with “let’s build an app”. It starts with a simple promise: what happens in the field should flow cleanly to HQ and donors without chaos in between. We design and implement a unified data pipeline that respects both field reality and donor requirements.

Capture – Offline-First, Standardized Data Collection

Capture – Offline-First, Standardized Data Collection

  • Mobile data collection using ODK, Kobo, or custom forms

What’s Inside the Grant & Program Validation Workshop

We keep the workshop structured, practical, and grounded in your real programs – not theory. Over ~10 days, we move through the following building blocks:

Offline-First Data Collection

Offline-First Data Collection

Equip your field teams with mobile apps that work flawlessly without internet. Whether you use ODK, KoboToolbox, or our custom native apps, data is captured securely and syncs automatically the moment connectivity returns.

M&E Command Center

M&E Command Center

Move beyond spreadsheets. Visualize program impact in real-time with dashboards segmented by country, program, or donor. Spot trends—and problems—weeks before the quarterly review.

Donor Reporting Automation

Donor Reporting Automation

Stop spending weeks manually formatting Excel sheets. Generate pre-validated report exports formatted specifically for USAID, EU, UN, and major foundation templates.

Seamless Integrations

Seamless Integrations

We don’t rip and replace; we connect. We integrate with your existing DHIS2, Salesforce, or PowerBI environments to create a unified data warehouse without disrupting operations.

Security & Audit Trails

Security & Audit Trails

Protect your beneficiaries and your reputation. Full role-based access control (RBAC), end-to-end encryption, and granular audit trails ensure you are ready for any compliance audit.

Choose the right path for your funding cycle

Not every organisation needs a full digital overhaul tomorrow. Some need a quick, grant-ready plan. Others need to stabilise just one program or country first. That’s why we’ve structured our work into three clear tiers, each with transparent pricing ranges.

Transformation Accelerator

For HQ teams planning multi-country overhauls

  • Deep assessment of current tools, flows, and donor obligations
  • Design of a multi-year digital field operations roadmap
  • Architecture showing how systems, people, and processes fit
  • Governance and standards for scaling across partners

Ideal for:

  • Large INGOs, donors, and foundations
  • Organisations preparing for big new funding cycles or restructures

What changes in your first 90 days?

Digital field operations shouldn’t be a five-year dream. Within the first 90 days of working together, you should feel the pressure ease and see the numbers make more sense.

  • For Program Teams

    For Program Teams

    Stop chasing field officers for updates. Get clear visibility on activities and outcomes so you can adapt programming in real-time, not after the project ends.

  • For M&E Teams

    For M&E Teams

    Say goodbye to "data cleaning weekends." Receive cleaner, standardized datasets automatically, freeing you to focus on impact analysis and evidence generation

  • For Country Directors & Donors

    For Country Directors & Donors

    Sleep easier knowing your data is compliant. Faster reporting cycles and stronger evidence bases lead to higher trust, better audit scores, and successful grant renewals.

    Metric: Cut reporting preparation time by up to 40%

Don’t burn your budget on a product no one wants—or that donors won’t fund.

What changes in your first 90 days?

Right-sized for every NGO tier.

Whether you’re a community-based organisation or a multi-country INGO, the problems feel similar - but the starting point is different.

Local & Community-Based NGOs

Local & Community-Based NGOs

  • Small teams, limited internal IT capacity
  • Heavy reliance on Excel, WhatsApp, and ad-hoc tools
  • Need something that works quickly without overwhelming staff

Best Starting Point: Tier 3 – Jumpstart Package

Get one program or region digital and stable, then grow from there.

National & Regional NGOs / Implementing Partners

National & Regional NGOs / Implementing Partners

  • Multiple programs and donors across regions
  • Growing pressure to standardise indicators and reporting
  • M&E teams stretched thin, managing data for several grants

Best Starting Point: Tier 2 – Digital Validation Workshop

Align field teams, M&E, and leadership around a shared data pipeline and grant-ready plan.

Large INGOs, Donors & Foundations

Large INGOs, Donors & Foundations

  • Multi-country portfolios and complex partnerships
  • Need harmonised systems, standards, and visibility across countries
  • Often constrained by legacy tools and misaligned implementations

Best Starting Point: Tier 1 – Transformation Accelerator

Build the architecture and roadmap that can support your portfolio for the next 3–5 years.

From messy data to a working field ops stack

  • Discovery Call

    1. Discovery Call

    We map your programs, donor constraints, and field connectivity reality.

  • Alignment Workshop

    2. Alignment Workshop

    We don't guess; we align. We confirm workflows and success metrics with your field and HQ teams before proposing a build.

  • The Blueprint (Advisory)

    3. The Blueprint (Advisory)

    You receive a fixed-price roadmap (Accelerator or Workshop) detailing exactly what will be built and why.

  • Implementation

    4. Implementation

    We configure tools, migrate data, and deploy pilots to test in the real world.

  • Scale & Support

    5. Scale & Support

    We roll out to additional countries or districts and provide ongoing "Keep the Lights On" support.

How others reduced risk and reporting lag

Names and logos may change, but the story is often the same: scattered tools, manual reporting, constant pressure from donors. Here’s what happens when the pipeline is fixed..

South Africa Youth Skills Program

  • The Pain:

    12 different Excel trackers and a 3-week lag in reporting student attendance.
  • The Fix:

    Deployed offline-first mobile attendance tracking synced to a central HQ
  • The Result:

    Real-time visibility into 50+ classrooms and 100% on-time donor reporting.

WASH NGO in Nigeria

  • The Pain:

    Field water quality data was being lost due to poor connectivity in rural Kano.
  • The Fix:

    Implemented "store-and-forward" architecture with automated conflict
  • The Result:

    Zero data loss over 12 months and a verified audit trail for funders.

Still wondering if this will work for you?

Here are some of the questions we hear most often from NGOs, implementing partners, and donors.

Yes. Many organisations begin with a Tier 3 Jumpstart or a focused pilot in a single program or region. You don’t have to commit to a huge system from day one. We prove value in one contained area, then expand once it’s working.

Absolutely. If you already use ODK, Kobo, DHIS2, or similar tools, we treat them as assets, not obstacles. Our work often involves connecting and cleaning what you already have, rather than replacing it.

Timelines depend on scope, but as a guide:

  • A Digital Validation Workshop (Tier 2) typically runs over about 10 days and gives you a clear plan and design.
  • A focused Jumpstart pilot can often go live within a few weeks after that plan is agreed.

We’ll be transparent about what’s realistic for your team and context.

No. Each tier is a defined engagement with a clear start and end. Many clients choose to continue with implementation and support after the first engagement—but that’s based on results and fit, not obligation.

We design solutions with data protection and auditability in mind from day one. That includes:

  • Role-based access controls
  • Basic audit trails for submissions and edits
  • Guidance on safer data handling practices for your teams

We’ll work with your internal policies and the regulations that apply in your countries of operation.

A digital partner that understands both your
field teams and your donors.

EPixelSoft is not a generic software agency trying to “get into the NGO space”. We’ve grown up inside field programs, government projects, and donor-funded initiatives across Africa and other emerging markets. We know how it feels when a slick solution fails the moment it leaves the capital city.

  • We don’t just code; we understand compliance.

    Experience working with NGOs and impact projects in multiple African regions

  • We speak Donor and Tech.

    Deep familiarity with donor frameworks and M&E standards

  • Deep experience across Africa & the Middle East.

    A “blueprint first, build second” philosophy that keeps projects from derailing

  • From blueprint to build (if you choose).

    Lean, hands-on team used to working within tight budgets and tough environments

We speak the language of both program staff and IT teams—and we’re comfortable sitting in donor meetings with you, backing up the technical side of your strategy.
