A quick assessment to improve field-team productivity and data quality.

It’s free and only takes a few minutes

Feeling frustrated that first-mile data collection costs too much and delivers too little?

If you’re collecting data across a large number of farmers or beneficiaries, small issues quickly become expensive ones.

Field teams work hard, but you still get incomplete records, duplicates, and data that needs fixing

You do not always have real visibility of what’s happening in the field until it’s too late..

Dashboards and reports lag behind reality because data is only usable after manual checks

Audit and compliance requirements keep rising, but confidence in the evidence is not where it needs to be

Answer 30 quick questions to find out where your operation stands

This assessment will help you measure and improve

Field team visibility and performance monitoring

How well you can monitor activity, progress against targets, and the locations where work is really happening.

Data quality, consistency, and speed to usable reporting

How quickly data becomes “dashboard-ready”, and whether quality is improving or repeating the same errors.

Traceability confidence and audit readiness

Whether your first-mile evidence is strong enough to stand up to scrutiny and support end-to-end traceability and compliance.

Built by people who’ve done this on the ground

I’m Kelechi Amadi, co-founder of Smallholdr. For almost 10 years, I’ve designed and implemented first-mile data collection and traceability solutions across multiple countries, working directly with field teams in low-connectivity environments.

I’ve helped smallholder supply chains, sourcing schemes and impact programmes move from pen-and-paper and guesswork to fully digital, transparent, and traceable operations. I’ve worked on programmes reaching multi-million farmer and beneficiary scale, and I’ve seen first-hand what works, what breaks, and what quietly kills data quality when you try to scale.

This scorecard is built from that experience. It’s the practical diagnostic I wish every programme had before scaling, switching tools, or heading into audit season.

Behind it is the Smallholdr team. We build and deliver a trusted first-mile data collection platform used by leading organic sourcing companies, major NGOs, and government organisations. Our mission is simple: Help digitise sourcing schemes globally, unlock more value in the crops farmers produce, and ultimately improve livelihoods through better transparency and traceability.
