What it does for you

Instead of dozens of chat messages to coordinate a meeting time or settle an internal decision, create a poll in under a minute: suggest dates or options, let participants indicate their availability, and view the winning consensus in a clear matrix. The poll and all participant responses stay on a server we host for you in Egypt.

It is a module of Asas by FoundationCX, working seamlessly alongside company file storage.

Who it is for

Frequently asked questions

Is it an alternative to Doodle?

Yes: date polling with Yes/No/Maybe votes, text choice polls, and external guest links work just like Doodle. The difference is that voter names and scheduling data stay on your private server in Egypt.

Can an external client vote without an account?

Yes, via a public poll link shared over email or chat, without requiring account registration.

Does it suit long surveys?

No, it is designed for rapid polling and scheduling. Multi-question surveys and questionnaires are handled through forms and surveys.

Our limits

  • It does not automatically place the winning meeting time onto participant calendars; you book the final calendar invite once the consensus is reached.
  • The software is from its developer (Nextcloud); our role is hosting, configuration, operation, and support.
