Data entry with validation via online system (desktop not mobile) for small business.

Hi All,

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum.  I am looking for some advice on what setup is might be the best for a small business option in regards to replacing the following.

I work with a planning consultancy that employs 12-15 casual staff over a 2-4 week period to conduct population and land use surveys on a house to house, business to business basis.  The surveys are about 30-40 questions and completed on a paper form (I am not looking to implement a mobile solution at the moment).  The surveyors complete ~400-600 surveys each and then enter them into a Survey Monkey series of forms (and this is what I want to replace).  

Once all entered the data is downloaded to excel (requiring some manually formatting) and loaded up to a well established table structure in an Access database, where I have a series or QA/QC queries and other queries for summary and analysis.  And so begins the hard work for me  with a large amount of QC needed, often with me trying to guess what surveyors were thinking and often finding duplicates where the data entry has been done in Survey Monkey and the connection has dropped out leaving a duplicate record or incomplete record.

Can anyone suggest an online data entry setup that provides the temporary staff some validation assistance in order to reduce the QA/QC load on me (and hopefully a better quality database).

Many Thanks in Advance,

Nick
