What we do at Clappform

Many clients have several data sources that are not interconnected. Clients often deal with many types of data, such as data that is manually imported, data gathered via a platform (i.e., surveys), scheduled data import, and API.

How do we deal with these different data sources at Clappform? In 5 simple steps we will explain how we can turn your data into valuable insights or actions.

1. Importing data. We first of all import your data, which can be any type of data: Excel, CSV, API, Data Dump, SFTP, scheduled OCR, ERP data, etc.
2. Generating data. Next to importing data directly from different data sources, data can also be generated via different Clappform apps: surveys, forms, or inserting data manually.
3. Integrating data. Our noSQL database enables us to import and integrate all data into one platform; the power of noSQL.
4. Analyzing data. Using Python we can do multiple analyses on the different data sources and visualize them in the Clappform environment.
5. Extracting data. The results of the analyses carried out on via the Clappfrom applications can be easily extracted and exported to a client’s system.

What are the benefits of the way we deal with data integration?

1. You are able to export and see all your data in one platform
2. You can run heavy analytics on your database, such as entire AI models or ML algorithms
3. You can easily add data to existing databases in Clappform, by using surveys or by manual input
4. Manage everything in one platform. If you want to send analytics or data from the Clappform app, you can do that via email, business-WhatsApp or a text message.
