System Overview
The International Comparison Program Asia and the Pacific Software Suite (ICP APSS) is a
system designed to effectively manage data collection and aid in the analysis of price data.
The ICP APSS standardizes data validation rules and allows processing of data from
multiple geographical locations to consolidate encoded data into a single database ready
for analysis.
The enhanced version of ICP APSS derives major features and functions from the previous
version used in 2011 and 2017 while leveraging modern technologies to improve usability.
Specifically, the new version addresses compatibility issues and accommodates the data
processing requirements of the 2020 ICP.
By making it easier to encode and access statistical information about prices, the ICP APSS
contributes to the formulation of evidence-based policies and program administration.
Technical Specifications
The primary architectural requirements for the tool is that it is compatible with various
operating systems, capable of offline data processing with the possibility of online
integration in the near future, and highly compatible with Microsoft Excel. The primary
users of the application are statisticians and data encoders from member countries
participating in ICP.
The web application was built with PHP version 7.1, an open-source web scripting language.
Data is stored in a local SQLite database, also open source. The user interface is primarily
developed in HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. The application also employs components from
standard and commonly accepted frameworks and libraries such as Laravel for PHP,
Bootstrap for CSS, and jQuery for Javascript. PHP dependencies are managed via the
Composer package manager. The application uses Apache version 2.4 as the web server but
will be able to run on any web server that supports PHP 7 and has a SQLite database.
The entire application is packaged into an executable (.exe) file which allows the user to
install the web server and corresponding components into specified directories using
Windows shell scripts through a Windows packaging tool called NSIS installer. Once
installed, the application can then be run by through a Windows desktop shortcut. The
application code uses Git version control, and all commits are archived in a designated
repository available to the ADB ICP team.

Data Processing and Flow
To facilitate data processing, the ICP APSS was built with a minimal design approach to
aid users in quick familiarization of the key components of the system. Comprehensive
data validation checks have been embedded to ensure data consistency and quality. The
Microsoft Excel-based templates are password protected and validated to ensure users
input information only where they are required to. The flow of information is described
in the data flow diagram shown below:
PRODUCTS Product availability, importance

and frequency of collection are
identified
OUTLETS Outlets and locations are identified
Identified products are mapped

MAPPING
to outlets where prices will be
collected
SURVEY QUESTIONNAIRE
Questionnaires for price collectors are
generated based on mappings
DATA ENTRY Price data is uploaded or encoded ICP
DATA VALIDATION
Data is validated and analyzed
according to defined parameters
REPORTS Preconfigured reports are generated

click on the ICPAPSS Launcher icon to start the
system
NOTE:
Some systems may require you to confirm that
the application is not harmful, as
indicated in the image below.
You will need to click Run anyway to

proceed with the installation, as indicated
on the image on the right. Rest assured,
this application is not harmful to your
computer.

Image: Initial configuration screen
1.5 Logging in
If the system was already properly configured, user will see a login screen where they will be
able to enter their account details to log in.
Image: Login screen of ICP APSS 2020

2 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
To aid in the system configuration process, the system has been pre-loaded with location labels,
codes, and names based on submitted 2011 and 2017 ICP data. It is crucial that the pre-loaded
data be validated to ensure location data is still up-to-date. The steps below describe how to go
through the entire configuration process and validate this data and make changes, if necessary.
2.1 Configuring database

The database path specifies the file location where the ICP APSS reads or writes ICP data. This
means all the records and data are saved on the chosen SQLite database.
For individual users who wish to keep their data private and save all data on their own computer
only, this does not need to be changed. Clicking the proceed button will take you to the next step.
On the other hand, multiple users may also opt to transfer the database into a shared local
network drive, so that multiple users can connect to the same database and benefit from shared
and consolidated ICP data. An overview of steps are outlined below.

Note: this requires administrators and users to have access to the same shared local network drive. Users
may also request for assistance from respective IT departments.
STEP 1: For system administrator STEP 2: For users

13. Click ‘proceed’ to connect to the shared
database.

2.2 Creating an administrator account
This step involves the identification of basic personal information to identify and create
an administrator account which serves as a point of contact for any questions or
concerns that may arise from submitted data.

7.3 Determining your computer specifications

7.4 Consolidating data from different geographical
locations
User from Location A
Consolidating user
User from Location B
User from Location C
For users consolidating price data from different users assigned to different locations, it is
recommended that the location data and product data is coordinated on the national level and
cascaded down to different geographical location levels so that when consolidating data later on,
the location codes and product availabilities do not conflict each other. This is important to
ensure locations and codes from one location (user) will not overwrite another’s.
If the above conditions are met, consolidation can be done through the following steps:
Option A: Consolidated Excel Database File
To be done by multiple users who are sending data:

1. From the system menu found on the top right, go to “Data Migration”
2. Click on “Download Household Data” to download an Excel database file
3. Send the downloaded database file to consolidating user

To be done by user who is consolidating data:
1. Collect the database files sent from different locations.
2. From the system menu found on the top right, go to “Data Migration”
3. Click on “Upload Household Data” to upload each location’s data
4. Repeat the above steps for each location
Option B: Individual Template Upload
1. Users from different locations will download and export their data for the following
modules: outlets (see section 5.2.5), mappings (see section 5.3.3), data entry (see
section 5.5.2).
2. Users from different locations will then send these excel files to the consolidating user.
3. The consolidating user will then upload the Excel files received into a single database
using the upload function for the following modules: outlets (see section 5.2.7),
mappings (see section 5.3.5), data entry (see section 5.5.3). There will be no duplicates
or conflicts if each user is sending unique data sets with different locations and outlet
codes.
