Kaaga - Tester

Kaaga (Rukiga for 'smell', could not find a translation for sense😜!) is a digital sensory analysis platform that enables evaluators to create and deploy digital questionnaires online to testers. The idea for the platform came from our demand for an easy to use and sustainable way to get feedback on the different food products we've been developing over the years.
The platform provides real-time results about the responses received from testers, allowing evaluators to gain insights into the sensory properties of their products.
