About Us

Zite is an integrated platform to help teams and organizations manage and monitor projects or programs with multiple, distributed work sites. Through our mobile app and web platform, Zite integrates data about all aspects of a project or program, from early assessments, to implementation, to operations and maintenance. Zite helps teams collaborate better, integrating information and communication to improve quality, manage resources, and improve planning and decision making. 

With Zite, we are aiming to help projects and programs overcome key challenges that affect delivery and quality.

Data Visibility

It is hard to know what’s happening on-site. When you can’t be on-location, whether because you’re working across town, or your team is deep in the Himalayas, it can be difficult to get the timely and accurate data to help you respond to issues, manage progress, and plan next steps.

Diffuse Accountability and Decision Making

With teams and people working across multiple sites, ensuring accountability and tracking decisions is difficult. On-site teams can take action to address issues, but without proper documentation or approval, it can be hard to ensure that these decisions are contributing to overall delivery goals.

Limited Resources

All teams face resource limitations — of people, equipment, money, travel, and time. It’s hard to have the right people be everywhere you want them to be. Remote locations, limited infrastructure, and recent shutdowns related to Covid-19 are stretching teams more than ever before.

We started working on digital field monitoring tools after the 2015 Nepal Earthquakes. Across Nepal, more than 1 million structures were damaged, and rebuilding them required building more seismically resilient buildings throughout mountainous and hard-to-reach locations. Zite builds on the findings and lessons we learned working with the government, charities, and the UN in trying to use mobile technology to improve the delivery of quality services.

We are excited to launch Zite to help people deliver quality projects — wherever they are. We believe that quality projects are the basis of economic and social development, and we are excited to work with partners to help them deliver projects that lead to a more just and resilient future.
