Stravito, the enterprise insights platform democratising access to market research for some of the world’s largest organisations, today announces the launch of Research Management. Using the new product, insights teams streamline workflows to better manage research projects, budgets, suppliers, and external agencies from one secure space.
Developed in collaboration with customers, Research Management fully integrates with Stravito’s repository, allowing insights professionals to review available research before beginning a project, and instantly publish completed research so that no knowledge is underutilised or lost on local drives.
Thor Olof Philogène, CEO and Founder at Stravito, commented: “From day one Stravito has been focused on helping retail organisations simplify knowledge discovery by centralizing access to their insights. Today, we are taking it to the next level simplifying research project management, allowing teams to comprehensively manage research projects from one place.”
Research Management brings budgets together in one place to allow full transparency and speed up processes, increasing the operational and financial efficiency of teams. New project briefs can be launched using flexible customised templates and workflows to empower teams to follow best practices and bring the research process on a new level.
Requests for proposals can be sent to multiple agencies from the retailer’s approved list of suppliers enabling teams to negotiate on terms, choose the best offer, and collaborate on execution. Once a proposal is revised and approved, projects can be immediately commissioned within the tool.
Mr Philogène added: “This is just the beginning, we have a number of great enhancements in the pipeline for Research Management, including a real-time internal and external chat functionality, and a timeline feature that conveniently denotes project milestones of commissioned research. We’re excited to see how teams capitalise on the tools’ consistently expanding capabilities.”
