The Client

Eindhoven

Eindhoven is a municipality in the Netherlands, celebrated for innovation, design, and sustainability, fostering a vibrant community and driving forward-thinking urban development.

The Challenge

For over nine years, the Municipality of Eindhoven used Survalyzer’s software for community market research. However, their previous platform lacked the automation and flexibility needed to grow and efficiently manage their DigiPanel. They faced several challenges when collecting data, including inaccurate records, slow manual updates, and the inability to use previous survey responses for future research.

Additionally, the Municipality had to choose the best survey software provider from many competitors. This process was not just about finding a vendor; it was about choosing a long-term partner. This partner should offer the right tools, for efficient, reliable, and secure data collection.

What we did:

  • Panel management: Automated citizen participation

  • Smart workflows: Efficient survey administration

  • Data quality: Structured and reliable feedback collection

  • Scalable research: Large-scale municipality engagement

  • Products: Survalyzer Expert, Community Extension, Dashboard Extension

The Solution

Award decision
Survalyzer was selected as the solution offering the best value for money.

Concept Phase
Survalyzer analyzes existing processes, evaluates stakeholder preferences, and provides a specification document. The client selects an approach, and the implementation phase begins after approval.

Implementation phase
Based on the agreed specification, Survalyzer developed a proof of concept (PoC) for review. Following approval, data migration, user acceptance testing, and final optimizations were completed before deployment.

Closing phase
After acceptance, user training sessions cover the dashboard, reporting, and automation. Final adjustments based on feedback ensure the solution meets needs before production use.

The Results

Survalyzer’s high-quality features, implementation plan, and flexibility made it the best choice. Survalyzer achieved the highest overall evaluation by meeting all formal procurement requirements, including usability, value for money, implementation quality, and future development potential.

  • Efficiency Boost: The new automated panel management system allows the Municipality to manage more participants easily. Manual profile updates were no longer necessary. Panel members could now update their profiles directly, ensuring accuracy and saving valuable time.

  • Better data collection: By leveraging previous survey responses, the Municipality was able to create more targeted and personalized surveys, resulting in deeper and more actionable insights.

  • Improved Security and Compliance: Survalyzer used a two-step registration process. This ensured that panel member data was collected securely while complying with the Municipality's strict information security requirements.

  • Customer Satisfaction: Survalyzer received top scores for quality, implementation, usability, future development, and value for money. The Municipality particularly praised the software's ease of use, responsive support, and ability to meet its unique requirements.
