QPSMR: user friendly survey processing with serious power

Looking for survey software that’s easy to learn but tough enough for complex market research? QPSMR gives you a complete, end-to-end workflow – from questionnaire design and data entry (including CATI) through to fast, professional tabulations and crosstabs – without forcing everyone to learn a scripting language. Built on the same high-performance engine as MRDCL, it scales from ad hoc studies to the biggest, messiest tracking projects you are likely to run.

Why researchers choose QPSMR

  • Intuitive point-and-click interface – ideal for both regular and occasional users.
  • Rapid questionnaire preparation and fieldwork management.
  • Robust data processing core that copes with large files and complex logic.
  • Far fewer training hours and user errors than script-heavy systems.

Make CATI easier (and cheaper)

The optional QPSMR CATI add-on really is different. Interviewers work through a friendly, screen-driven workflow, so there is no need to learn complex script syntax. Its lean design minimises data traffic between interviewer stations and the server, reducing hardware costs and your dependency on ultra-reliable connections. Built-in supervisor tools let you control sample, monitor productivity and give the right level of access to project managers, questionnaire authors, analysts and telephone interviewers.

Use QPSMR on its own – or alongside other tools

Prefer to analyse elsewhere? No problem. QPSMR outputs clean data to the formats research teams rely on: Triple-S, SPSS, Excel, CSV, ASCII, binary and more. You can re-format layouts to match client specifications, and QPSMR passes full texts and data through when exporting to MRDCL, Triple-S and SPSS, saving rework and transcription errors.

Fast tabulations when time matters

Need results minutes after fieldwork closes? Specify every question against a standard banner in just a few clicks and generate a comprehensive set of tables fast. Basic crosstabs are straightforward; when you need more, plug in add-ins for extended analysis – or step up to MRDCL for unlimited scripted tabulations.

Supported by people who know research

Support never matters until the deadline is today. Whether you are stuck, rusty or facing something new, our team can help by email, phone, live online sessions or short custom videos. Customers also get access to a library of 50+ free training and topic videos – from learning the basics to tackling specialist tasks.

Seamless upgrade path to MRDCL

Because QPSMR and MRDCL share the same engine, every QPSMR project automatically produces MRDCL script. That means data processing specialists can pick up your job and push further: complex tracking studies, hierarchical or occasion-based data, merges across waves or sources – whatever your advanced requirements. Talk to us and we will help you choose when an MRDCL workflow will save time and expand what is possible.

Our licence terms

We sell two types of QPSMR licences. These are QPSMR Companion licences with and without the CATI (computer-assisted telephone interviewing) module.

The standard QPSMR Companion licence is sold as a single-user licence or as a multi-user licence. Licences are sold on a location basis. You would need two licences for two offices in different locations although multi-site licences are heavily discounted. This product is the core product which allows you to enter data, edit and manage data and run tabulations. For a small extra fee, there is an ‘Extended’ features QPSMR Companion for power users who want to take advantage of some additional features. These include bulk edits to questions such as adding or changing codes, applying mean scores or adding sub-totals to variables for a number of rating statements.

The CATI add-on module comes with all the QPSMR Companion software including its ‘Extended’ features and allow unlimited users at a specific location. Multi-site licences are available with large discounts. The price of a CATI licence is based on the number of stations from which CATI surveys are being conducted.

Users of QPSMR are allowed to use and distribute any number of Resolve Base licences free of charge. This will allow your colleagues and clients to carry secondary analysis and produce charts from surveys processed in QPSMR. Resolve Premium is available a small extra fee.

Our pricing explained

QPSMR is a competitively-priced product for collecting data from paper and telephone surveys. It includes a powerful data management and tabulation system, capable of producing large volumes of results quickly. The software is accessed through any easy-to-understand graphical user interface.

QPSMR is more expensive than some tabulation systems, but it has a powerful set of tools to build banners for cross-analysis, complex variables with any level of filtering. QPSMR will handle the largest projects and is compatible with the powerful MRDCL scripting language, which is widely used by data processing professionals.

QPSMR is, however, priced and capable of handling more complex surveys and analysis than many more expensive tools. The QPSMR CATI system for telephone interviews offers excellent value and can be used by less skilled staff using less expensive hardware than any other CATI product as far as we know.

We think QPSMR offers excellent value and is well supported by both humans and over 50 videos to make sure you can make the most of the software.

The QPSMR Video Library gives you on-demand training and guidance, making it easy to get the best out of QPSMR. From quick start videos on setting up your first project to advanced tips for customising tables, you’ll find clear, step-by-step tutorials covering every aspect of the software. Each video is designed to save you time, reduce the learning curve and show you how to make QPSMR’s features work for your specific research needs. Ideal for both beginners and experienced users, the library is continually updated with fresh content to reflect new features and techniques. It’s your go-to resource for mastering QPSMR and building confidence in every stage of your data processing.
