Field data in.Reports out.
Maahir M&E is the monitoring and evaluation platform where a record captured offline on Android becomes the indicator, the dashboard and the donor report.
Product view 1 of 3: field capture, indicator performance, executive overview.
Forms in Kobo. Indicators in Excel. Reports in Word. Maahir keeps them one dataset.

Six views
Every dashboard →All six read the same dataset. A field visit captured on a phone in Attock is the number in the third chart by the time the office opens.
Nothing is exported. Nothing is re-keyed. The number on the dashboard and the number in the donor report are the same number.

One thread, three moments
On the first morning, you describe the survey in a sentence. Maahir drafts the questions, the skip logic, the validation and the translations. You edit what you like and publish.
A week later, the field team is working with no signal. Forms, photos, signatures and voice notes queue locally and sync the moment a connection comes back.
By the month end, the indicator has a value, the dashboard has a trend, and the donor report is drafted, from the same records, with the narrative written for you.
What ships,and when.

Is this another survey tool?
No. Survey tools collect data. Maahir M&E also tracks indicators, manages cases over time, builds dashboards and produces donor-ready reports, in the same system, on the same data. You stop exporting between five tools.
Do I need to write code or learn a spreadsheet formula?
No. Describe the survey you want and AI drafts it. Everything else is drag-and-drop. If you already work in Kobo or ODK, import your XLSForm and keep what you have.
What happens when there is no internet?
Nothing stops. The Android app works fully offline, stores everything locally, and syncs automatically when a connection returns, including photos and voice recordings. Nothing is lost, and duplicate submissions are prevented automatically.
Can it track the same household or student over time?
Yes. Case management is built in. Create an entity once, link every follow-up form to it, and watch panels, waves, attrition and outcomes update on their own.
Which AI provider do you use?
Whichever suits the job. We route each task to the model that handles it best, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Cohere, or a self-hosted model you run yourself. You can bring your own API key, and we never charge you for AI running on your own infrastructure.
Where does our data live?
Wherever you need it. Our cloud by default, your own server with one Docker command if you self-host, or a dedicated region for data residency requirements. Full data export any time, in any format.
Is there a free tier?
Yes, one project, unlimited surveys, and export your data whenever you want. No credit card and no trial countdown.
Can we integrate with what we already run?
Almost certainly. Everything is an API. Import from Kobo, ODK, SurveyCTO and DHIS2. Connect Power BI, Tableau and Superset. Push events to us with webhooks. No feature is locked behind the interface.
What about our procurement checklist?
SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR and DPDP are on the roadmap for the enterprise tier, with reports available under NDA. SSO, white-labelling, self-hosting and full audit trails ship before that.

Stop stitching together five tools
Start with one project. It is free, and your data stays yours.
One project, unlimited surveys, export whenever you want.
