Common industry pressure

Research Teams Lose Time Rebuilding the Same Project Information

Commercial, project, fieldwork, data and reporting teams often manage the same study in separate tools, weakening visibility and creating repeated administration.

01

Proposal history is disconnected

Scope, pricing, assumptions and client changes are difficult to trace once delivery begins.

02

Project status is manually consolidated

Teams rebuild updates across spreadsheets, email and meetings rather than using one live status view.

03

Fieldwork risk appears too late

Sample shortfalls, quota gaps, approvals and supplier issues are not escalated consistently.

04

Reports are difficult to activate

Large static deliverables are not always accessible, searchable or easy for executives to use.

Core capabilities

Manage the Full Research and Insight Delivery Journey

The system can be configured around research methodologies, project stages, suppliers, deliverables and client access.

Proposals and Costing

Structure scope, methodology, timelines, supplier costs, pricing, approvals and assumptions.

Research Project Management

Track stages, tasks, deadlines, ownership, dependencies, risks and client approvals.

Fieldwork Coordination

Manage suppliers, quotas, progress, quality checks, issues and operational handovers.

Data and Analysis Workflows

Coordinate data receipt, cleaning, queries, tabulation, analysis and approval checkpoints.

Insight Dashboards

Present executive summaries, cross-tabs, trend views, themes and decision-ready findings.

Client Reporting Portals

Share reports, dashboards, documents, updates and approvals through a secure client space.

Billing and Commercial Reporting

Connect project milestones, supplier costs, invoicing, profitability and pipeline performance.

Connected research journey

From Client Brief to Decision-Ready Insight

Each stage should preserve scope, decisions and evidence for the next responsible team.

Connected applications

Commercial Scope, Project Delivery and Reporting Should Share One Study Record

The agreed client brief, methodology, timing, risks and deliverables should remain connected from proposal through final reporting.

  • A client brief can create an opportunity and proposal workflow.
  • An accepted proposal can create a project structure and milestone plan.
  • Fieldwork issues can trigger alerts, ownership and escalation.
  • Data, analysis and reporting checkpoints can remain visible to authorised users.
  • Client portals can make findings easier to access after presentation day.

Implementation approach

Start with the Project Handover or Reporting Gap Creating the Most Waste

The first phase should reduce repeated administration, improve project visibility or make insights easier to use.

1

Map the research workflow

Document brief, proposal, design, execution, analysis, reporting and billing.

2

Define stages and ownership

Clarify approvals, dependencies, supplier handovers, quality checks and escalation rules.

3

Prototype a real study

Use scope changes, quota issues, data queries and reporting deadlines before rollout.
