Digital Census & Demographic Survey Solutions
MobiSoft has performed many statistical digital census and survey operations. Our extensive experience in digital field data collection, combined with the experience integrating field applications, geospatial technologies, and automated validation and tools in this domain, makes us regional provider of digital census and field-data solutions across the Gulf and the Middle East.
Digitizing census field operations has streamlined data collection and supervision of automation, enabling fully digital, paperless data collection. This is one of our most significant accomplishments developing and implementing census mobile solutions that make the collection process faster, more consistent, and easier to validate.
Through our continued collaboration with our sister company RealSoft, we became among the region’s early providers of fully digital census solutions in the region to provide fully automated census solutions a milestone first achieved with the Oman Population Census in 2003, the first worldwide census carried out using handheld devices.
MobiSoft’s mobile solution for demographic census has since evolved to operate across modern tablets, smartphones, web interfaces, and supported field devices, continuously upgraded to leverage the integrated GPS, GIS, digital mapping, and geospatial tools, digital maps, and other tools used for monitoring field progress and coordinating authorized field teams and managing field operations.
Our demographic mobile application includes an role-based interfaces for enumerators and supervisors, given additional functionality to allocate and re-allocate tasks and review collected data. Access is controlled through role-based access controls and secure user authentication.
To ensure system quality, MobiSoft’s approach performs automated data-quality controls at multiple levels: validation rules are displayed during collection whenever incomplete or inconsistent, incomplete, or out-of-range responses is detected, and additional validation rules appear on the supervisor interface of the application, allowing supervisors to identify records requiring review and, where needed, return records for verification or follow-up to validate the data.
Data validation is also carried out during the transfer process between the mobile application and the staging area, ensuring no data loss or duplication.

Our Experience
In the Jordan Census 2015, MobiSoft achieved a remarkable result by developing a mobile application operated on Windows 10 tablet devices. MobiSoft later developed the mobile application for the Ajman Population Census 2016 another successful project that marked a milestone for the year.
Jordan’s success followed a series of earlier achievements across the Arab region. In 2010, MobiSoft partnered with RealSoft to implement the electronic censuses of Qatar, Abu Dhabi, and Oman. MobiSoft has continued to support statistical organizations across the region for census mobile applications, including the Sharjah Statistics Center for the Sharjah Census 2015, and more recently the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics for the Palestine Census 2017.
Tourism
Tourism is a major contributor to national economies tourism. Tourism contributes to economic growth, employment and investment.
To strengthen destination competitiveness, tourism authorities need consistent establishment standards, efficient inspection processes and reliable visitor data.
MobiSoft provides digital solutions that help tourism authorities manage establishment classification and collect tourism statistics. These solutions support service-quality monitoring, informed planning and evidence-based tourism development.
Our Solutions
MobiSoft contributed to tourism-establishment classification and inspection initiatives for Oman’s Ministry of Tourism in 2008 and Jordan’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities in 2009
Tourism Establishments Classification
The Tourism Establishments Classification System developed by MobiSoft is considered the first of its kind worldwide. The solution consists of a publicly available website that automates all classification procedures and provides stakeholder groups with the information they need, along with a mobile application used to perform onsite inspections.
The solution is distinguished by its high flexibility, allowing tourism authorities to easily maintain their list of classification standards, establishment types, and other configurable parameters to accommodate their unique requirements and procedures.
Tourism Surveys & Counts
MobiSoft developed a range of solutions to count and collect useful information about tourists as they pass through a country’s entry and exit points.
Using these solutions, invaluable information regarding trends, costs, spending patterns, satisfaction rates, visit reasons, and more can be extracted and analyzed helping officials forecast demand, plan facilities and services more effectively, and boost the tourism industry as a whole.
Agricultural Census & Survey Solutions
MobiSoft’s Agricultural Census Solution developed and implemented in cooperation with Realsoft Advanced applications is a digital, paperless, designed to streamline census operations, and end-to-end digital platform that supports the full census lifecycle of the Agriculture Census from field-team preparation and deployment to data processing, reporting and dissemination providing timely, validated and reliable data to support agricultural policy and development planning and development plans.
Key Benefits
Economic Statistics
MobiSoft applies its expertise in digital field data collection to economic surveys and price-index operations. Our field applications help statistical authorities streamline data collection, apply validation rules at the point of entry and shorten the time between collection and statistical processing.
National statistical offices increasingly use digital platforms to modernize field operations, reduce manual processing and improve the timeliness and consistency of economic data. MobiSoft’s solutions support this transition by connecting field collection, supervision, validation and central processing within an integrated workflow.
MobiSoft has developed solutions supporting a range of economic surveys, including a digital Consumer Price Index (CPI) solution. The platform combines a field data-collection application with initial processing, validation and fieldwork-management capabilities.
The field application integrates with a central processing platform developed by our sister company, RealSoft. Together, the integrated applications support data collection, processing and CPI compilation across field and central-office operations.
Building on the CPI platform, MobiSoft developed additional applications supporting economic and price indices, including the Wholesale Price Index, Building Materials Price Index, Producer Price Index and Real Estate Price Index.

Main Features
Experiences
The successful implementation of the CPI mobile and desktop package in Oman led to further CPI deployments across the Arab region, including Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, and, most recently, Abu Dhabi.
MobiSoft also partnered with sister company RealSoft to successfully implement the Household Income and Expenditure Survey held in 2007 for Oman’s Ministry of National Economy. This survey focused primarily on income and expenditure patterns of households, gathering information such as demographic and economic characteristics of the population and housing, facilities and appliances, sources of income, and daily spending expenses, among others.
Additional economic indicators were studied through the Comprehensive Survey held between 2014 and 2017, covering a wide range of statistical topics and indicators, including the Job Rotation Survey, Job Seekers Survey, and others.
