About Sytel’s market research solution

For phone-based market research, customer insights and consumer survey/ polling organisations, Softdial Contact Center™ (SCC) ensures that respondents are reached, quotas filled and projects completed as quickly and efficiently as possible, while making the best possible use of interviewer time.

Market research customers can take advantage of SCC either…​

Fill quotas faster

SCC’s AI-based predictive dialer is the #1 choice for global research, used by many of the largest international research organisations.​

​The dialer makes best possible use of interviewer time, minimising wait time between calls, and handling all non-live call attempts automatically while staying within any and all consumer contact legislation.​

Bring your own CATI

Connect to your existing Computer Aided Telephony Interview (CATI) platform quickly and easily. SCC has out-of-the-box integrations with most major CATI platforms, including:​

​SCC’s open, comprehensive APIs allow easy integration with other platforms as necessary.​

​The Sytel dialer can run simultaneous market research campaigns using different CATI products, each tightly integrated with the dialer, giving the freedom to choose the best tool for each individual job.​

Take care of respondent callbacks

Connect respondents to the appropriate project team quickly, using precise routing configuration within SCC’s ASD®.​

​No need for dedicated interviewers to wait for inbound work; automatic blending reallocates interviewers from outbound as needed.​

Add value with IVR and chatbots

Reduce the abandoned call rate and make the most of every data collection opportunity with IVR and chatbot automation. IVR/ bots reduce interviewer costs while adding value to the interview/ callback process. ​

​Streamline callback handling by, for example:

  • identifying the respondent and transferring them to the right team/ survey agent​
  • recording open-ended responses automatically ​
  • providing a short screener or even a full survey​
  • offering the respondent a choice of language​
  • managing appointment setting​

​IVR/ bots can be designed by your non-technical staff directly within SCC using its no-code design tool.​

​A respondent can also be transferred to IVR mid-interview to capture sensitive information, and returned to the same interviewer.​

A centralised global solution​

With Softdial Contact Center™ (SCC), Sytel can deliver a bespoke solution to market research organisations who conduct individual surveys across multiple sites in multiple countries.​

Enable work-from-home

Interviewers can work from home or remotely, with just a laptop/ PC, a headset and an internet connection. The browser-based desktop has a built-in WebRTC (internet) phone, and connects to the CATI system no matter where they are located.​

Do you know the predictive gain of your dialer?

Are you paying for predictive and getting little more than progressive?
Do you know how much extra talk time per hour your dialer is delivering over progressive mode when in predictive mode?
