We are specialised in automated data capture and form processing solutions for processes such as: examinations, surveys and inspections. At Think! Data Services we specialise in automated data collection and form processing. Our solutions are based on the Optical Mark Recognition (OMR), Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR) data capture technologies. Our data capture solutions are typically made up of a combination of the following components: OMR/OCR/ICR Imaging scanners, customized data capture software and standard or tailored scannable forms and questionnaires.PRODUCTS: OMR, OCR, ICR scannersThe scanners part of our automated data capture solutions are from Scantron USA. We offer high, medium and low-volume data processing scanners. Depending on the amount of documents that need to be processed, we recommend our clients the type of scanner that will meet their data capturing needs. The scanners are all equipped with sophisticated technologies to extract data from documents: data from bubbles (OMR), conversion of text from paper into machine editable text (OCR), conversion of hand written text into computer text (ICR), bar codes and image clips (e.g. signatures). OMR formsOptical Mark Recognition (OMR) forms are scannable forms. With the help of an OMR/ Imaging scanner it is possible to extract raw data from these forms (exported through Excel and CSV- files). Scannable forms are commonly used for exams, questionnaire’s, inspections, M&E’s, registrations and enrolments.OMR softwareOMR software can have different functionalities. First of all, any type of OMR utility software should be able to extract raw data from scannable forms and store it into a database. This raw data must consequently be converted into usable data for further processing. With the OMR utility software it is possible to export the raw data through an excel or CSV-file into another existing software application - e.g. in-house software or SPSS – or a customized OMR software program – e.g. question bank exam or survey software applications.On request of clients, we can develop customized OMR software applications for the client to be able to capture the required data, convert it into usable information and use it for other purposes such as data analysis, student performance assessment, records management or strategic decision-making processes.

Cottco, also known as as The Cotton Company of Zimbabwe Limited has become popularly known, is the successor to the Cotton Marketing Board (CMB) formed in 1969. It was privatized in 1994 and listed on the Zimbabwe Stock exchange (ZSE) on1 December 1997. During this period Cottco operated with a number of subsidiary companies namely Scottco, SeedCo, Quton, Olivine, Exhort Enterprises, Cotpro and Motmate Designs. In 2008 a restructuring exercise took place to form a holding company, which saw the birth of AICO Africa Limited. Cottco was delisted from the ZSE on 1 September 2008 paving the way for AICO which was listed on the same date. The companies which were once beneath the Cottco umbrella, now joined the holding company, to make Cottco one of the subsidiary companies of AICO Africa Limited. Cottco now operates as a cotton, procuring, processing, and marketing company. As an agro processing company Cottco's main line of business is the inputs credit scheme, purchase of seed cotton from farmers and the sale of the lint after processing. The bulk of its activities are the ginning and marketing of the crop. Cottco has a total of 29 outlets in Zimbabwe's major cotton producing areas. Of the 29, nine are ginneries with a combined capacity of 265 000 tonnes of seed cotton. They are located in, Bindura, Chiredzi, Chinhoyi, Glendale, Gokwe, Kadoma, Mutare, Muzarabani and Sanyati.These ginneries are of a high technical standard comparable with the most modern in the world. Ginning The ginning process separates the fibre, or lint from the seed. Most of Cottco's ginneries are saw gins which operate using circular saws rotating between steel ribs. The company also has a roller ginning plant in Bindura, which enhances the return on long staple cotton because of its more gentle method of separating fibre from seed. Long staple cotton fetches a higher price on the world market than medium staple varieties. As mechanical processes, by their very nature can cause damage to the cotton fibres, it is essential that gins are properly maintained and adjusted to keep fibre damage to a minimum. Properly trained and qualified ginnery staff is the key element of this process and Cottco personnel, constantly service the equipment. An important measure of processing efficiently is the "lint outturn". This is the proportion by weight of marketable cotton lint produced from seed cotton after ginning. A good outturn for the cotton varieties grown in Zimbabwe is around 41%. The bulk of the remainder is the cotton seed which is sold to the oil expressing industry for manufacture of vegetables oil, soaps and fats. Cotton varieties in the region have a lower lint outturn of around 35%. This illustrates the strength of Zimbabwe's cotton research which is jointly run by the Cotton Research Institute in Kadoma and Quton Seed Company – a perfect Government and Private Sector partnership. Inputs Credit Scheme This scheme was developed in 1992. It was specifically targeted at smallholder farmers located in communal areas. Cottco believed that the commitment of its own funds on an annual basis to provide seasonal finance to smallholder farmers, none of whom could access funding through normal commercial channels, would give cotton production the boost the company wanted. Under the scheme, Cottco's technical field staff assist farmers in drawing up their requirements for support in advance of the season. Disbursements, either in the form of cash or inputs such as planting seed, chemicals or fertiliser or a combination of cash and inputs, are made in three tranches and total no more than 60 percent of a farmer's total estimated production costs. The first tranche helps with land preparation and planting, the second pest control and weeding, and the third with harvesting costs. All scheme members commit themselves, thus positioning the lint product to compete with top-end Californian and Australian styles. This has added value to the product and which can be pre-sold on forward contract enabling the company to compete favourably on the international market.

The Fistula Hospital has developed a practical hands-on-technique for fistula treatment that has inspired fistula service provision in many health facilities around the developing world. It is a world centre for fistula treatment, rehabilitation, and prevention. It provides training for health professionals, for Ethiopian surgeons and obstetrician/gynaecologists from all over the developing world. The hospital also carries out research in fistula related topics.    Women with severe injuries and not able to be cured completely have been provided with long-term care through training as nurse-aides or a home at Desta Mender, the rural village for chronic patients that provides rehabilitation and training in income-generating activities to allow these women to continue life with dignity despite their disabilities.    Many women are unable to come to Addis Ababa, so in 2003 steps were taken to provide services to women in rural Ethiopia. Five mini-hospitals were planned, of which three are already functioning and two are in the planning/construction phase. A more recent project is the establishment of a midwifery school to train midwives who will work in rural areas to help prevent fistulae occurring.    The Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital is registered at the High Court of Ethiopia as a Charity. The Trustees and Management Committee provide the hospital with the governance it needs. All patients are treated completely free of any charge and the hospital is dependent for its finance on the generosity of its donors and what else is necessary Partner Trusts.
