Civicom CyberFacility® delivers a host of benefits:

Strong Technical Support

Our well-trained technicians conduct tech checks, update your webcam tracker, confirm respondent readiness for both interviews and focus groups, resolve any unforeseen technical problems, and make sure you are comfortable with how you appear in the webcam screen.

Audio Masking and Face Blurring

Use our Audio Masking service to keep respondent voices confidential along with our Face Blurring feature that anonymizes respondent images when the video is played back. These additional safeguards prevent highly personal respondent information from being identifiable.

Convenient & Secure File Delivery

We deliver your files through Glide Central®, our online platform for video and audio content curation and management. You can view your recordings, create tags, produce transcripts, make clips, and harvest key insights for your reports.

Stimuli Assistance

Amplify the effects of your web-enabled IDIs and focus group studies by incorporating multiple pieces of stimuli into your web-enabled IDIs and focus groups. We help you format all the visuals and our team can present stimuli according to your preference.

See Me Navigate™ Mobile & Website App Usability

Mobile technology has permeated the daily lives of almost every demographic group around the world. Because of this development, marketing researchers now have rich opportunities to gather feedback organically and in real time.

Our mobile qualitative technology services were built with input from marketing researchers seeking intuitive and mobile-friendly data collection tools and research software. Take a walk in your respondents’ shoes in nearly any language and country with our three key mobile offerings:

See Me Navigate™ Mobile Content Usability

Use See Me Navigate to observe remotely as respondents navigate a mobile website or app, while you talk with them live in real time. View both the respondent and his or her mobile screen simultaneously. Gather more natural and accurate reactions on mobile user experience to optimize your app and website design.

See Me Navigate Advantages

You are able to probe respondents in real time right from your computer. As you follow the respondent’s activity, you can ask questions, probe for details, provide directions and hear what they have to say. You can see a respondent’s facial expressions and mobile screen simultaneously as they navigate websites or apps.

The Right Tool For Mobile & Website App Evaluation

See Me Navigate is the right tool for evaluating whether the website or app is properly optimized for mobile use. This means virtually every brand, package, or retail site in every industry, well beyond consumer goods or medical products. If you want to move the consumer experience online, See Me Navigate is right for you.

The Value of Mobile Website & App Testing

Website usability on a computer has long been a staple of market research. With over 50% of searches now done on mobile devices, and with that statistic rising at breakneck speed, brands need to understand the user experience so they can optimize their design and content and successfully reach their target market.

ThoughtLight® Mobile Ethnography App

The ThoughtLight app facilitates the recording and collection of shopper experiences, patient journeys, audio diaries,
and other types of in-the-moment insights.

Capture, gather, and analyze emotion and attitude, naturally occurring events, and additional commentary through
text responses, audio, photo, and video capture.
Get authentic, in-the-moment insights through this mobile market research method.

Add Respondents

Import or create user profiles with ease. Respondents will receive an email invite containing research details, and app download instructions, along with their credentials. Upon log in, respondents will see all available activities that need to be completed.

GEO Location

ThoughtLight lets you capture GEO location to ensure authenticity of the collected data by verifying that the provided insights were collected in real time. You can also trigger activities based on your respondents’ location with GPS positioning.

Audio Diaries and Patient Journeys

Gather the true thoughts and feelings of your respondents in real time as they narrate their experiences in their own voice through the audio recordings they create. Capture a history of their responses over time based on what they recorded.

Respond In Real Time Even Without Internet

Conduct your study in remote locations and complete activities without data connectivity. Respondents can remain engaged even in locations where there is low signal strength since answers can be uploaded once an internet connection is established.

Geo-fencing

Narrow down the range of your study and make sure that an activity can only be done in a specific location through the use of geofencing which generates a virtual barrier preventing the respondent from completing the activity in another place.
