How Yazi's Innovative Platform Streamlined KLA's Diary Study for Enhanced Data Quality and Efficiency

Revolutionising Data Collection: Automating and Enhancing KLA’s Diary Studies with Yazi

Client: KLA

Industry: Market Research

Specialty: Qualitative and quantitative market research agency

Project: Pre-group Diary Task for Wine Consumers

The Challenge: Manual Processes and Data Management

KLA needed to conduct a pre-group diary task involving 84 respondents over a 7-10 day period. Traditionally, they would manually WhatsApp participants, asking questions and waiting for responses, which often resulted in delays and a heavy workload for their team. Data was exported manually, one chat at a time, cleaned, and consolidated into a format suitable for analysis. This process was time-consuming and inefficient, particularly for tracking participant progress and managing staggered recruitment timelines.

The Solution: Yazi’s Streamlined and Automated Platform

Step 1: Platform Setup Yazi customised a flexible, easy-to-navigate diary task on its platform, allowing participants to upload multiple entries over the 7-day period. The interface was designed to enhance participant experience, making it simple for respondents to engage with the tasks via WhatsApp.

Step 2: Testing Thorough testing was conducted in collaboration with KLA to ensure seamless interaction and a smooth user experience, focusing on minimising any potential issues during the diary task.

Step 3: Launch and Management Yazi managed the onboarding of respondents, utilising a dedicated WhatsApp number for all communications. Real-time monitoring allowed for the tracking of participant engagement and task completion, with reminders sent as needed to encourage consistency.

Step 4: Data Collection and Reporting Yazi’s platform provided a clean, tabular dataset of responses, immediately ready for analysis. Additionally, the platform supported the playback of voice notes and videos directly within the browser, giving KLA a deeper, more contextual understanding of each participant's story.

The Results: Efficient, High-Quality Data Collection

  • Immediate Data Accessibility: Responses were captured and presented in a clean, tabular format instantly, eliminating the need for manual data cleaning and consolidation.
  • Rich, Contextual Insights: Many participants sent voice notes and videos, which were easily accessible through Yazi’s platform, offering KLA a vivid sense of each participant's experience and context.
  • Efficient Tracking: The ability to easily track who had completed the diary task and who hadn’t streamlined the entire process, allowing KLA to focus on insights rather than administrative tasks.

Initially, we managed participant engagement and data collection manually, which was time-consuming and inefficient. Yazi’s platform transformed our approach, delivering clean data immediately and allowing us to easily track participant progress. The ability to access voice notes and videos directly within the platform provided us with a richer understanding of our respondents’ experiences. Yazi truly revolutionised our diary study process.
