All-in-one MEL platform for tracking, workflows, and real-time insights.
Why Kenga is different.
| Typical "ODK in the cloud" | Kenga Online |
|---|---|
| One generic project per tenant | Multi-tenant backbone — run unlimited branded projects with fully isolated datasets. |
| Build it yourself, then maintain it yourself | Done-with-you setup — we configure your tenant, roles, user groups, and initial workflows. |
| Form data only | Full MIS entities — track beneficiaries, trainings, assets, indicators, and more as first-class data types. |
| Limited reporting | Embedded BI — Metabase built-in, plus native Power BI and Tableau connectors. |
