The Benefits of Using an All-In-One Market Research Tool: Efficiency, convenience and continuous insights

• • • • • •

How can Suzy’s all-in-one market research tool revolutionize your strategy? Streamline workflows, cut costs, and uncover transformative insights.

In today’s competitive landscape, where rapid, data-driven decisions are essential, brands are increasingly recognizing the advantages of an all-in-one research platform over a patchwork of specialized point solutions. Too often, agencies provide expertise and quality while lacking speed and agility. Point solutions might provide agility but lack support and connectivity. Many brands have previously been roped into using one tool for VOEs, another tool for quant, another tool for live qual, another tool for IHUTs, and yet another tool for analysis, Suzy offers a consolidated solution. 

Using an integrated platform like Suzy not only streamlines workflows and cuts costs but also empowers brands to obtain a holistic understanding of their consumers. Here’s a look at the key benefits of an all-in-one approach, and how Suzy’s powerful platform can deliver on these needs with a full spectrum of quantitative, qualitative, and analytical capabilities. 

Internal friction and associated financial and efficiency costs

Using an all-in-one tool like Suzy can significantly streamline the procurement process by eliminating the need for multiple licenses across multiple vendors, which reduces administrative hurdles and simplifies contract management. And best of all, it’s a win-win for both procurement and researchers, because rather than having to secure individual POs for each project and each vendor, researchers can act in real-time, meet deadlines and respond more quickly to changing market conditions without the burden of repetitive procurement cycles​​​. 

Financially, this consolidated approach translates into substantial cost savings. With Suzy, you pay per question, not per response. Because we own our panel of consumers, we don’t charge a CPI, and there are no additional costs for launching studies to 100 consumers vs. 1,000 consumers. This credit model allows brands to better predict and manage costs for the year, unlike most tools that can incur surprise costs when dealing with factors like niche audiences or high sample size requirements. By opting for a multi-year partnership with Suzy, brands gain even further financial stability, locking in discounted rates and ensuring access to advanced research capabilities with maximum flexibility over time. A multi-year commitment enables teams to plan long-term research projects confidently, knowing they have a stable, predictable budget for iterative research without the hassle of individual project POs, ensuring continuity and minimizing procurement bottlenecks.

Using an all-in-one tool doesn’t just benefit out-of-pocket costs; it also allows for indirect cost savings. By using one system, brands don’t have to worry about training team members on multiple tools, especially when those tools are complicated and potentially even require certification programs to get up to speed. Suzy’s platform is incredibly intuitive and user-friendly, and every Suzy user has instant access to SuzyQ and Suzy Academy. SuzyQ is our in-platform support chatbot designed to assist users every step of the way in their research on Suzy, whereas Suzy Academy is our dedicated learning platform with over 200 courses on platform functionality, market research methodologies, and best practices. These free resources allow teams to quickly adopt our platform without the extensive training time that otherwise would be required when using multiple point solutions. 

Fragmented tools mean fragmented research

When brands rely on various point solutions, maintaining this iterative cycle becomes challenging due to the fragmentation of data, insights, and project workflows. Each tool may handle a specific research function, such as surveys, VOEs, or focus groups, without any connection to one another. This disjointed setup means data must be manually exported and consolidated, creating bottlenecks and increasing the risk of inconsistencies. Not to mention, when tools are disconnected like this, the ability to recontact participants across studies is near impossible, preventing important follow ups and longitudinal studies with different methodologies. 

An all-in-one platform like Suzy integrates all research capabilities within a single system, supporting iterative testing and feedback without the delays or data silos that arise from moving between multiple tools. Suzy’s streamlined interface and connected panel allow brands to retarget audiences, follow up with additional questions, and refine insights without losing time or data fidelity, making continuous optimization feasible and efficient​​​.

So, why is this important? This approach builds a feedback loop, enabling brands to test, adjust, and retest in a structured, ongoing and iterative manner. The agility provided by iterative research is essential for staying relevant in today’s rapidly changing world, as it allows brands to optimize concepts, campaigns, and products progressively rather than in isolated stages. This continuous learning loop leads to more informed decision-making, minimizes the risk of launching ineffective campaigns or products, and ultimately aligns offerings more closely with consumer needs​​.

End-to-end research capabilities: Suzy really can do it all

Suzy combines the power of a self-owned audience with quant and qual research methods and analysis capabilities in one cohesive platform. Our integrated research cloud enables brands with everything they need to gather, analyze, and act on consumer insights. 

Flexibility in audiences

When programming studies on Suzy, brands can leverage a series of flexible audience tools to precisely target, retarget, and integrate different consumer groups based on their research needs. 

Our most frequently leveraged audience comes from Crowdtap. Crowdtap is a gamified app and website, where everyday US consumers can participate in brands’ research studies and earn rewards for their time. And best of all, Crowdtap is owned by Suzy, meaning this always-on panel of consumers is exclusive to brands who do research on our platform. 

Brands can also seamlessly tap into global audiences and specialized panels with our network of strategic panel partners, like Cint. These partnerships expand brands’ reach to millions of consumers in over 130 countries. 

Lastly, brands also have the flexibility to tap into their own audiences—wherever they are—via Suzy Connect. Suzy Connect allows brands to program studies in Suzy and generate a shareable link that can be distributed to their target audience in whatever method they see fit. Most often, Suzy Connect studies are shared with brands’ CRM lists and loyalty program members, but these shareable links can also be converted into QR codes for sharing at in-person events, like conferences or trade shows.  

Quant and qual methods

Suzy can support a breadth of quant research methods, including custom surveys, monadic testing, TURF, and MaxDiff, and every dashboard comes with dozens of prebuilt survey templates designed by our Center of Excellence team. On the qualitative side, Suzy Live enables brands to seamlessly identify interview participants via video open-ends or any previous quant research, then invite them to participate in live interviews or focus groups. Suzy Home offers in-home usage testing (IHUT), facilitating real-life product interactions and consumer feedback within the home environment. IHUT participants can be engaged through quant surveys, where brands can get feedback on how consumers use or experience their products over time, or IHUT participants can be invited to participate in Suzy Live interviews, so their experiences can be observed in real time. 

Analysis and deliverables

Brands can take advantage of AI-powered text and video open-end summaries, as well as Suzy Live summaries to help expedite analysis across any asynchronous or synchronous qual research. Similarly, AI-powered analysis is coming soon to surveys for efficiencies in analysis across any quant research.

Data Explorer is our data analysis tool that’s seamlessly integrated into brands’ dashboards. Data Explorer offers advanced analytics capabilities, enabling brands to create custom data tables complete with calculations, like means and stat-testing, granular data filters, and precise banners to cut data. With Data Explorer, there’s no need to reformat or upload your raw data—all your research is readily accessible in just a few clicks. 

This ease of use is also evident in our automated PowerPoint exports, allowing brands to easily present their findings with stakeholders with polished slide presentations. And for qual research, brands can create clips of key moments from Suzy Live interviews or video open-ends and craft dynamic showreels—no video editing experience required.

Beyond our technology, Suzy’s Center of Excellence team offers agency-level rigor and support.
