CAWI Survey Platform
A flexible system for creating, testing, deploying, and reporting online surveys, built for research teams that need control over questionnaire logic, respondent flow, data exports, and project-specific customization.
About the platform
The CAWI Platform supports classic CAWI surveys, recruitment screeners, multi-stage research projects, product tests, conjoint studies, and custom interactive modules such as virtual shelves.
It helps researchers move from questionnaire design to a working online survey by combining survey rendering, flow control, data collection, debugging tools, export generation, and reporting support in one environment.
Key features
- Dynamic survey flow based on XML logic and conditional rules.
- Multiple survey entry points, including live survey, local testing, and generator mode.
- Project-level configuration for table names, custom CSS, scripts, tokens, and reporting behavior.
- Built-in tools for generating VAR, SPS, DAT, JOB, and dictionary files.
- Debug mode for testing questionnaire paths, session state, and generated outputs.
- Support for single choice, multi choice, open questions, quotas, screenouts, and special modules.
- Custom reporting configuration per project, separated from the main survey logic.
- Token-based access for selected project tools such as reports and exporters.
- Advanced research modules, including shelf and conjoint product displays.
Advanced survey generation
The platform includes tools that help transform questionnaire drafts into structured survey projects. It can assist with page separation, logic detection, module creation, and project scaffolding.
This makes it easier to build complex questionnaires while keeping the final survey files editable and transparent for researchers and developers.
Virtual shelf and product testing
The platform supports custom visual modules for product research, including 2D shelf layouts, product placement, price labels, and conjoint-style tasks.
Product displays can use project assets, SKU mappings, price mappings, and design files, allowing respondents to see realistic product scenarios while the platform records structured survey data.
Advantages
- Flexible: each project can have its own configuration, assets, and behavior.
- Research-oriented: exports are designed for survey data processing and reporting workflows.
- Transparent: generated questionnaires remain readable and editable as project files.
- Testable: debug links, local survey modes, and generator routes make validation easier.
- Extendable: custom modules can be added for specialized research needs.
- Deployment-ready: environment configuration supports local, development, and production setups.
Designed for research teams
The CAWI Platform is built for teams that need more than a simple form builder. It supports controlled questionnaire logic, custom respondent experiences, export compatibility, and project-level configuration, while allowing developers to extend the platform when a study requires something unique.
It is especially useful for research projects where survey logic, data structure, and reporting outputs must stay synchronized from testing through production.
