The data platform for fish and wildlife biology
Keep collecting in the tools your crews already use. CensusIO validates the data, turns it into reports and range maps, and keeps it in one place that lasts. We do not replace your field tools. We replace the mess that comes after them.
Two ways in, one place for the data
One survey-type engine powers both. The same definition that validates an import also renders the collect-direct form.
Import from the tools you already use
ArcGIS Field Maps, KoboToolbox, ODK Central, or a spreadsheet. Connect a source or drop a file, and your data lands validated and mapped. Nothing about your field workflow has to change.
Collect directly when you have no other tool
A planned mobile app lets a biologist enter observations straight into CensusIO, no import step. Built for intermittent connectivity, so it works in the field and holds through the gaps.
Reporting that is not an afterthought
Built-in biological reports and a custom report builder. Catch per unit effort, length-frequency, harvest summaries, range maps. No per-report charges, no credit meter.
Define your own survey types
Add a new kind of survey yourself, without waiting on IT. The structure you define validates incoming data and produces clean records.
Standards-aligned exports
Darwin Core Archive with EML metadata, Humboldt Extension survey reporting, and GBIF-ready output. Your data is never trapped in one vendor format.
Flat, predictable pricing
Free for individual researchers. Clear annual tiers for councils, consultancies, and agencies. No surprise charges to put in a grant work plan.
