Data Direct
Collect feedback and evaluation data instantly with a Data Direct Module that cuts admin and boosts insight.
Branded webforms feed responses straight into your system—no manual entry and no chasing paper forms. You’ll gather meaningful data quickly and professionally.
If you’re tired of chasing evaluation forms or manually entering handwritten responses, our Data Direct module can make your life a whole lot easier.
How it can help
Hear directly from your clients—with higher return rates on evaluation data, you’ll gather real voices and views that bring your impact stories to life.
Save staff time—no more transcribing paper forms or inputting data manually. Everything flows straight into your system.
Look professional—with branded, externally-facing forms that reflect your organisation’s identity and build trust.
Support pre-engagement—find out where clients are at before services begin, helping you tailor support from day one.
Boost efficiency—cut down on admin and focus more on delivery.
For example, you could turn a feedback form, from a paper form, into a webform and then use a QR code and pop it on coffee tables—clients can scan and respond in seconds. No fuss, no follow-up.
Or capture your baseline outcome measures before the session starts, giving you a clear beginning point. Helps you support the person, and easily start to demonstrate progress in the persons journey.
Whether you’re prepping for a funding return or just want to understand your clients better, the Data Direct Module helps you collect meaningful data without the usual hassle.
How it works
The Data Direct Module allows you to send your users a web (URL) link for them to click to complete your questionnaires/forms online, directly.
You can use the questionnaires/forms that you have already set up for others to complete outside of Lamplight. When they complete the form, their responses are automatically saved to Lamplight.
The Data Direct Module works with the Evaluations Module, allowing you to create web (URL) links to your existing surveys, as well as the core system outcomes.
Let us help you
