The app includes till receipt scanning, geo-fencing, offline surveys and audio/video features and works on all smartphones and tablets. It will also be available on Mac desktops and laptops later this year. 

Panel companies can use the toolkit to distribute surveys from multiple brands through their own branded app or create branded apps specific to each of their client brands and use them to issue multiple surveys that are also available offline.

Neil Jessop, CEO of OnePoint Global, said: “We sit in the sweet spot between businesses who provide sample along with a very basic app and companies whose sole focus is providing a service like till receipt scanning.

"We package all the functionality possible via mobile devices that is relevant to respondents and market researchers in one data collection tool delivered on a Pay As You Go basis."

The toolkit is free, with OnePoint charging only for survey responses and SMS messages sent.
