REG-Pulse Group Plc: Pulse Unveiled Mobile and IVR Research Solutions
PULSE GROUP PLC (Ticker PGRP)
Press '1' for Pulse
Pulse today unveiled its beta Mobile and IVR (Interactive Voice Response)
research solutions. The offering will be the first of its kind in Asia, and
will supplement the online and traditional telephone market research, putting
the company well ahead of competitors in providing cost-effective and
innovative research methods.
With this solution, Pulse will gain additional access to the 1.5Bn mobile
subscribers throughout Asia, and Pulse's clients will also be enabled with a
self-serve platform that will yield further cost savings and efficiencies.
Pulse's multi-mode data-collection solution is aimed at providing clients with
a suite of services and choices for researching diverse consumer groups, while
streamlining project costs to a minimum.
Pulse's CEO, Bob Chua commented "We have always focussed on a holistic and
representative approach towards research throughout Asia, and the multi-faceted
Online, Mobile, CATI (telephone response) and IVR offering is extremely
compelling, allowing us to reach consumers in both growing and mature markets
at a lower cost. IVR is relatively new for research in Asia, however we believe
this poses a wonderful opportunity to migrate costly continuous tracking
programs towards a hybrid and scalable solution. As for the mobile research
option, this enables us to reach the evolving consumer in the world's most
mobile connected region, while also leveraging our online panels where
relevant. Our clients are very excited about the opportunity, and likewise so
are we."
