Direction in the field.

Scolah Compass gives social workers, NGOs, and government agencies one connected workflow, from intake and field visits to outcome reporting. Designed for paper-light teams operating where the connectivity isn't.

How it works

From intake to outcome, in one connected workflow.

Compass holds the entire journey: referral, assessment, field visit, benefit, follow-up, report. Teams spend their time on families rather than paperwork.

i.
Intake and triage
Office or field
A new case enters by referral, walk-in, or community report. Compass captures the essentials, deduplicates against existing records, and routes for triage.
ii.
Assessment and assignment
Caseload view
A case is assigned to a worker with appropriate context. The system surfaces priority, location, language, and any previous interventions.
iii.
Field visits, offline
Mobile, offline-first
Workers complete visits on a phone or tablet, even without signal. Forms, photos, and signatures sync when connectivity returns.
iv.
Benefits and disbursements
Audit-ready
Cash transfers, in-kind support, and mobile money disbursements are sent directly from the case record via Flutterwave or Paystack. Batch payments, proof capture, and approval gates built in. Every entry signed and time-stamped.
v.
Outcome and reporting
For donors & agencies
Aggregate, anonymise, and export for donors, ministries, and internal review. DHIS2, KoboToolbox, CommCare, and CSV supported, including scheduled ETL sync.
Features

Field data, in a format leadership can actually use.

Compass meets workers outdoors, on bad networks, at someone's door, and gives leadership the data they need to direct the work.

Offline-first by design

Workers operate where networks fail: rural districts, refugee settings, remote outreach. Compass works fully offline and syncs cleanly when signal returns. Conflict resolution is automatic and auditable.

Caseload management

A clear list of every person assigned to you, their status, recent activity, and what's next. Filter by district, programme, or risk level.

Configurable forms

Build the intake, assessment, and visit forms your programme needs, without engineering. Versioned, audited, and translatable.

AI-powered risk detection

Compass uses AI to flag missed vaccines, dropped follow-ups, and at-risk individuals, so workers act on signal, not chance.

Reporting and exports

DHIS2, CSV, PDF, and donor-ready reports. Anonymised aggregates for ministries; identifiable records only where authorised.

Audit and accountability

Every action signed and time-stamped. Role-based access, full data lineage, and exportable audit trails for funders and authorities.

Cash transfers & disbursements

Disburse cash, in-kind support, and mobile money directly from a case record. Flutterwave and Paystack built in. Batch payments, proof capture, and multi-step approval workflows included.

Scheduled integrations

Connect DHIS2, KoboToolbox, or CommCare as a live data source. Set a sync schedule and Compass pulls beneficiary records and form submissions automatically. No manual imports.

Who it's for

One platform. Three very different caseloads.

From a small NGO running a single programme to a national authority overseeing thousands of cases, Compass scales to the work, not the other way round.

i. NGOs and field teams

Programmes that ship

For organisations running community health, child protection, gender-based violence, or social inclusion programmes, with field teams who need lightweight tools that work where they work.

  • Mobile-first field worker app
  • Offline data capture and sync
  • Donor-ready reporting
  • Multi-language and multi-country
ii. Government agencies

Authority that scales

For ministries and statutory bodies overseeing welfare, child protection, or public health programmes at district, state, or national level.

  • Hierarchical caseload routing
  • Role and jurisdiction-based access
  • DHIS2 and HMIS integration
  • PMT and eligibility scoring
  • National-scale reporting
iii. Social services & care

Continuity of care

For local authorities and statutory care providers who carry vulnerable children and families through complex, multi-year journeys.

  • Long-form case histories
  • Multi-worker handover
  • Court and review-ready records
  • Privacy and consent management
Integrations

Connects to the systems you already use.

Compass plays well with the standards real-world programmes rely on, and with the tools your office already runs on.

Early notes

What early users are telling us.

Conversations with field workers, NGO leaders, and welfare officers in our prototype phase.

We were running on paper and a WhatsApp group. The first time the team came back from the field with everything synced and reviewed by 6pm, I cried a little.

An NGO programme lead · pilot

The pattern view caught a cluster of missed vaccines that we'd otherwise only have seen in a quarterly review. We did a group outreach the same week.

A community health worker · pilot

Donor reporting used to be a fortnight of cleaning spreadsheets. With Compass, it's a click. We've redirected those people to actual programme work.

A welfare director · pilot

We don't sell software off a shelf. Every Compass deployment starts with a conversation about your programme, your workers, and the people you're trying to reach.
