Piloting in the Cordillera Administrative Region

The data operating system
for Philippine LGUs.

GovLens helps local government units collect, connect, and understand their data. Upload any Excel or CSV, get instant AI-powered dashboards, and ask questions in Filipino or English.

Any format. Any office.

Upload any Excel or CSV from HR, agriculture, health, or social welfare. GovLens reads multi-row Philippine government headers automatically and converts your file into a fast, queryable format in seconds.

The Challenge

Philippine LGUs run on spreadsheets.
The data exists. The visibility does not.

Every office has data. None of it talks to each other. Decision-makers wait days for a report that should take seconds.

How GovLens Works

Collect. Connect. Understand.

Three capabilities that take your LGU from scattered spreadsheets to a shared data operating system.

01
Collect

Smart file upload handles any Excel or CSV, including multi-row Philippine government headers. A built-in form builder lets field staff collect data directly on mobile, even without internet.

  • Multi-row header detection
  • Built-in mobile form builder
  • Works offline, syncs when connected
02
Connect

Connect directly to existing PostgreSQL databases or Google Sheets with live refresh. Your data is always current without manual exports. AI data quality scoring and a 7-type cleaning engine ensure every dataset is analysis-ready.

  • Live PostgreSQL and Google Sheets connectors
  • AI data quality scoring (0-100)
  • 7-type AI and rule-based cleaning engine
03
Understand

Auto-generated dashboards appear the moment data is clean. SAI, the GovLens AI analyst, answers questions in Filipino or English. Role-based access means the Governor sees everything while field staff see only their own data.

  • Auto-generated dashboards on clean data
  • SAI answers questions in Filipino or English
  • Role-based access control
GovLens is compliant by design

Built to meet RA 10173 (Data Privacy Act), aligned with RA 12254 (E-Governance Act, April 2027 deadline), and COA-ready audit logging on every action.

Real Use Case

From 79 spreadsheets to one
provincial dashboard.

How Apayao PSWD used GovLens to consolidate household profiling data across all 7 municipalities for the first time.

01
Province receives 79 household profiling files

PSWD barangay staff submit one Excel per barangay across 7 municipalities. 4,500 households. 13,000 family members. All in different formats.

02
GovLens team consolidates and normalizes

During onboarding, our team runs a consolidation script that merges all files into two clean CSVs ready for upload. No manual work from LGU staff.

03
Upload to GovLens, AI cleans

Staff upload the two CSVs. GovLens AI scans for data quality issues, suggests fixes with evidence, and scores each dataset 0 to 100. Staff approve every change.

04
Dashboards appear automatically

Within minutes: 4Ps coverage by municipality, IP population by affiliation, PWD counts, vulnerability to disaster, educational attainment charts. No configuration needed.

05
Provincial SWDO asks in Filipino

Ask SAI: Ilan ang 4Ps beneficiaries sa Luna? Or: Which municipality has the most IP households? Instant answers from the full consolidated dataset.

Built from inside government

Our team has worked as JO and consultant staff inside Philippine LGUs. We have seen the spreadsheets, the slow reports, and the decisions that wait for data. GovLens is the tool we wished existed.

Philippine government data, not generic

We know Salary Grades 1 to 33, GSIS eligibility codes, 4Ps beneficiary flags, DBM plantilla formats, and PSWD household profiling columns. The AI understands context that generic tools miss.

One vendor, one contract

GovLens covers collection, connection, and understanding. No separate BI tool. No separate data warehouse. No separate forms app. One subscription covers the whole data operating system.

Pilot-Ready, not vaporware

GovLens is running on real data today in the Cordillera Administrative Region. The platform is deployed, tested, and ready for your office.

FAQ

Common questions.

Who is GovLens for?
GovLens is built for Philippine Local Government Units: municipalities, cities, and provinces. It is especially designed for LGUs with limited IT staff who manage data in Excel and need faster insights for decision-making.
Do we need an internet connection to use GovLens?
The cloud version requires internet. GovLens In a Box runs the full platform locally and creates its own WiFi network, so staff in offline barangays can keep working. Data syncs automatically when connectivity returns.
What file formats does GovLens accept?
GovLens accepts any Excel (.xlsx, .xls) and CSV file, including files with multi-row headers common in Philippine government forms. It also connects directly to PostgreSQL databases and Google Sheets.
How does the AI cleaning work?
After you upload a file, GovLens AI scans the dataset using a 7-type cleaning engine. It detects typos, inconsistent values, placeholder data, and outliers, then suggests specific fixes with evidence. You approve every change. Nothing changes without your confirmation.
Is GovLens compliant with Philippine data laws?
Yes. GovLens is designed around RA 10173 (Data Privacy Act) and is aligned with RA 12254 (E-Governance Act). All actions are logged for COA-ready audit trails. Tenant data is isolated so one LGU cannot access another.
How long does onboarding take?
A standard dataset onboarding takes under 30 minutes: upload, AI cleaning review, and a dashboard is ready. For more complex data like multi-file household profiling, our team handles the consolidation during the onboarding period so your staff only sees the clean, ready-to-use version.
What is the Founding Partner Program?
The first 3 to 5 LGUs to join the pilot get priority support, input into the product roadmap, and preferred pilot pricing. We treat Founding Partners as co-developers, not just customers.
What does the 6-month pilot include?
Full access to GovLens for your LGU, onboarding support from our team, data consolidation for your first datasets, and dedicated check-ins throughout the pilot. At the end of 6 months, you decide whether to continue.
How is GovLens different from Power BI or Google Looker?
GovLens is built specifically for Philippine LGUs. It understands local data formats, Salary Grades, government position titles, and Filipino language queries out of the box. It also includes data collection (forms), AI cleaning, and an offline hardware option. Generic BI tools need months of configuration to get to the same point.
