Remote survey solutions can be deployed in a multitude of different scenarios. In the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry companies deploy account managers and field representatives who will travel to retail locations to inspect the display of their products on the shelves, they use remote survey solutions to answer questions about the condition of the display of their product on the shelves, the levels of inventory, the visibility of the product from key locations, and maybe even upload a digital picture as well using a cellular phone or PDA.
Another use of mobile survey solutions would be a market data collection company who may ask consumers to answer a few short questions regarding a product or service they have used, or maybe even regarding political topic. These organizations would deploy employees into popular shopping centers or downtown intersections and use a cellular device or PDA to complete the survey while electronically uploading the results to a server and analysis.
