Panel management
By building your own panels you also have the option to earn additional revenue, if you choose to allow the online sample buyers in CPX to purchase the surplus capacity in your panels.

Sample management
As a user of CPX you can log in, get instant feasibility and price checks, select the sample and then send out the survey, all in a matter of minutes. Our project management tool automatically handles the survey invitations, panelist incentives and invoicing, and is compatible with almost all questionnaire tools. All our solutions are fully integrated with one another and thus allow the user to work seamlessly over different countries and products.

Our philosophy
To provide products and services that make it easy and cost effective for market researchers to harness the power and potential of online research.

We have developed CPX to exceed existing guidelines on conducting online research, by providing a fully transparent and open web-based marketplace. Not only do market researchers know exactly what panels they are using but they also have full control of the online fieldwork process.

We operate under ESOMAR guidelines for conducting online market research and our products are designed to ensure that high standards are maintained at all times.

Track record
Cint has been in operation since 1999, and by end of 2008 the number of started interviews in CPX averaged over 25,000 per day. We now cover over 30 countries and we are on target to significantly increase the number of countries covered by CPX during 2009.

Cint Panel Exchange offers the largest concentration of online panel sample in Scandinavia and Russia, as well as extensive coverage of the rest of Europe, the US and Latin America.
