Efficient data collection
Collector’s intuitive interface enables field workers of all experience levels with map-driven forms to capture and return accurate field data that integrates seamlessly into ArcGIS. For any asset or observation, you can document countless details using photos, videos, or audio recordings.
A single source of truth
Data captured with Collector feeds directly into ArcGIS, so everyone, in the field and the office, works from the same accurate data. Your as-built infrastructure can be accurately documented to reflect reality as compared to what was planned.
No more paper forms
Free your workforce of the manual processes of collecting field data on paper forms that must be returned to the office, then translated into other systems. Collector streamlines these workflows, using smart devices to capture data in the field and seamlessly return it to the office.
Works anywhere, anytime
Add new assets and update existing GIS data in any environment, remote to urban, on your authoritative maps. In connected environments, your data will feed directly into ArcGIS. In disconnected environments, it will reside on your device then sync as soon as connectivity is available.
Improved data accuracy
Collector uses your device’s location service to identify your position. Authoritative maps ensure field-captured location data, updates, and additions are accurate. When required, achieve up-to-centimeter accuracy using a professional-grade or high-accuracy GPS receiver. Collector supports both options.
How Collector works
Create
In ArcGIS, create a map for your data collection project. Design the form your field workers will use.
Collect
On your mobile device, efficiently capture assets and observations, and perform inspections. Collect accurate locations and fill out map-driven forms.
Empower
Field-captured data is a single source of truth to use throughout your organisation. Enable stakeholders to monitor projects and perform analysis.
Better together
Use other focused ArcGIS apps in combination with ArcGIS Collector to be more productive and reduce costs in your field activities.
ArcGIS Workforce
Coordinate field activities. Select a task from your Workforce task list. Use Collector to complete the required work. Then, seamlessly return to Workforce when you are done.
ArcGIS Navigator
From any point on the map, a simple click opens Navigator and routes you to your selected destination. It then returns you to Collector so you can capture data.
ArcGIS Dashboards
Visualise the data captured with Collector in real-time dashboards to support more informed decision-making.
Business Apps
ArcGIS Collector integrates with other non-ArcGIS proprietary apps you already use or choose to integrate into your field activities using a URL scheme.
