### North-West University

The North-West University is a public research institution with three campuses near Johannesburg, South Africa. With a student population of 55,000, the NWU is one of the country’s largest universities.

### Use cases

Data collection, data tracking, collaboration, automated workflows

*   ### Challenge

The North-West University accepts 1,500 applications each year from student housing providers. Each application has 75 data points, and the data was transferred by hand to a shared spreadsheet.

This process took too much time and resulted in inaccuracies.

*   ### Solution

The NWU found that Jotform Enterprise was the perfect solution to its student housing workflow.

Data is automatically sent to its Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, automated workflows route the submissions to key stakeholders, and conditional logic makes the form easier to complete.

*   ### Results

Jotform Enterprise automation saves the NWU 15 minutes per student-housing form, adding up to more than 46 workdays’ worth of admin time each year.

Plus, accuracy improved 25% now that manual data transfer is a thing of the past.

### Jotform works the way we wanted it to. And if somebody approaches me with the same kind of problem for collecting data and collecting supporting documents, I would not hesitate for a minute to promote Jotform Enterprise as an answer.
