Manual and fragmented data collection hindered timely and reliable market intelligence, limiting ESS’s ability to report on national price fluctuations.
An integrated, secure, and mobile-enabled system that digitizes the entire data lifecycle—from questionnaire design to public dissemination—through centralized management and intelligent validation.
Provided ESS with a modern statistical infrastructure to generate and share real-time, trustworthy market data across regions, helping inform economic policy and empower public understanding.
Inflation, commodity prices, and market dynamics shape the lives of millions. Yet in Ethiopia, capturing this data accurately and consistently was a logistical and technological challenge. Data collectors operated with outdated tools, quality checks were manual, and nationwide aggregation took weeks—by which time the data often lost its policy relevance.
The Ethiopian Statistical Service envisioned a new, agile future: a fully digitized ecosystem that ensures reliable market data collection, validation, analysis, and dissemination—all in one seamless flow. ESS partnered with 360Ground to turn this vision into a reality, creating eMIS: a secure, end-to-end Electronic Market Information System that connects frontline data collectors, regional supervisors, HQ analysts, and the public through one integrated digital backbone.
We equipped field agents with a mobile app tailored for offline use, allowing them to collect real-time market data across regions. Each survey is centrally designed and customized, ensuring standardization and regional relevance. Automated pre-cleaning and validation tools help flag inconsistencies before data reaches HQ.
At the core of eMIS is a secure web-based platform where ESS HQ reviews, verifies, and processes incoming data. Built-in dashboards generate inflation and CPI reports automatically, providing clear visibility and control over national market statistics.
A public-facing portal gives citizens, researchers, and policymakers direct access to interactive market data. With filtering, comparison, and export tools—plus an open API—eMIS promotes transparency, accessibility, and third-party integration for wider economic impact.
