Even in areas where connectivity is limited, agents need to efficiently send back bulk images and collected data to headquarters, and it has to be done without reliable internet access. Upya offers a solution to these bulk photo transmission obstacles in challenging environments through its picture retrieval feature. This is how it works:
- Smaller, faster uploads: the Upya mobile app attaches pictures to the beneficiary programmatically and sends data bit by bit, so it is more manageable. This way, even with limited internet bandwidth, the data can be uploaded efficiently.
- Easy monitoring: the Upya mobile app keeps the carbon credit projects’ field agents informed about the upload process. They can see which photos have been uploaded successfully, which ones are still pending, and how many remain to be sent.
- Seamless resumption of interrupted uploads: If the internet connection cuts out, the Upya mobile app automatically picks up where it left off. It only uploads the photos that have not been sent yet, avoiding any duplicates or wasted time.
Whilst the Upya mobile app ensures smooth data gathering that can include a high volume of photos while operating offline, its bulk picture retrieval feature is truly a game-changer for carbon credit project developers’ field agents. It eliminates the risk of losing data required by carbon credit certification programs, due to poor connectivity. Moreover, the Upya mobile app ensures that the Principle 8 of the Core Carbon Principles drafted by the ICVCM, “No double counting” is enforced and the accuracy of data collection efforts is maintained. Based on the feedback from our customers, this holds significant importance for leading auditors such as SustainCERT or Earthood.
In addition, with Upya’s efficient upload process and clear progress tracking, agents can spend less time troubleshooting technology and more time concentrating on their vital fieldwork tasks.
