The problem
Reports, baseline studies, proposals, donor agreements and compliance documents pile up across field offices. Staff turn over, and knowledge leaves with them. Field offices often work on weak or costly connections.
What Duct does
- Works offline on a field laptop and on weak connections.
- Reads reports, spreadsheets, slide decks and emailed donor correspondence in one search.
- A small office server gives the whole team the same searchable archive.

Made for this work
The parts of Duct you’ll use most.
Works in the field
Duct runs on a laptop or a small office server and needs no internet, so field offices search the same way as headquarters.
One archive for the office
A shared Duct server keeps the programme’s documents searchable for everyone, so knowledge stays when people move on.
Every format the work produces
Word reports, Excel indicators, PDF studies, slide decks and emailed donor correspondence, in one search.
Field reports from WhatsApp
Reports, photos and receipts sent on WhatsApp become searchable: export the chat and add it, and each file keeps who sent it and when.
Reads the files you already have
No converting, no uploading. Duct reads 99 file types where they are.
Search you can verify
Every result names the file and the page it came from, and opens the document there with your words highlighted. Your documents stay on your computer or your own server.
