Frontir: emerging-markets research.
A mobile survey and market-research platform for African and emerging-market consumer data, sold as insights to corporates, NGOs and governments.
The challenge.
- Traditional research panels do not reach the millions of consumers living in low-bandwidth markets, so brands fly blind outside major metros.
- Surveys had to work on low-end Android devices, in intermittent connectivity, in multiple languages, with conditional branching logic.
- The platform needed rigorous response validation so insights sold to corporates and NGOs held up to scrutiny.
Our approach.
- Built web and mobile survey experiences in React and Redux with a rules engine for branching and conditional logic.
- Designed the runtime for low-end Android and intermittent connectivity so fieldwork keeps moving in low-bandwidth markets.
- Added response-validation checks on a PHP and Slim backend so insights hold up to corporate and NGO scrutiny.
- Localised the survey runtime for multiple regional languages.
The outcome.
- Research clients access representative panels in markets that were previously unreachable.
- Fieldwork throughput scales because enumerators keep working through dropped connections.
- Data quality is high enough that insights are packaged and resold to corporates, NGOs and public bodies.
