Revolutionising Data Collection: Automating and Enhancing KLA’s Diary Studies with Yazi
Industry: Market Research
Specialty: Qualitative and quantitative market research agency
Project: Pre-group Diary Task for Wine Consumers
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.
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.
