What is OpenQ?
OpenQ provides a comprehensive platform designed to streamline research operations for B2B companies. It facilitates conducting user interviews and surveys by connecting businesses with a panel of 100% verified B2B participants, accessible through granular targeting filters. The platform aims to remove the tedious aspects of the research process, allowing teams to focus on gathering insights. Key workflow automations include participant recruiting, scheduling integration with popular calendars like Google and Outlook, and automated distribution of incentives in multiple currencies and formats.
The service offers tools for both direct participant recruitment via a browser extension and leveraging its own curated B2B panel. It supports various research methodologies, including online, phone-based, and in-person user interviews, as well as targeted B2B surveys. Features like advanced screener workflows with skip-logic, automated e-signature collection for NDAs, and multi-player scheduling options enhance efficiency. Security is addressed through end-to-end encryption and role-based access control within the workspace.
