Survey Design
Who writes the surveys?
 You can use in-house resource to create your survey and use our expertise to optimise it. Or you can let us know what your objectives are and which areas you’d like to improve, and we’ll write the questions and design the survey for you.
How long should my survey be?
 Generally, you’ll get a good completion rate from a survey with under 10 questions. However, it depends on what you’d like to learn from the survey.
Can we brand the survey kiosks?
 Yes. You can choose to have branded promotional boards, designed in-house or we can design them for you. If you have Professional or Enterprise surveys, they will be designed in your brand style and will include your logo.
You may also wish to add your logo to the face of your surveys.
Power and Connectivity
Do we need a Wi-Fi connection for the survey kiosks?
 As well as Wi-Fi, we supply 4G tablets with a SIM card which will connect to a local network provider.
Do we need power?
 Yes, you will need a power connection for the Avius devices.
What happens to survey results if my device is offline?
 If you lose internet connection, your results will still be collected. They will be uploaded and appear in reports once the device is re-connected to the internet.
Implementation and Maintenance
Do you offer trials?
 Yes, trials are available. Many new clients do a trial in a small number of locations before rolling the Voice of Customer solution throughout their business.
Do you install the kiosks?
 The survey kiosks are delivered to you ready-built. All you have to do is attach the promotional board, find a suitable location and plug-in. However, we would recommend you bolt the kiosks to the floor, wall or desk-top for security.
How do we clean survey devices?
 Any non-spirit based cleaning solution will ensure the devices are kept clean and operational.

Survey Results
How do I access the results?
 All our reports and analytics systems are online so you can access wherever you are, from PCs or mobile devices.
How many survey responses can we collect?
 Unlimited. The Avius software is designed with security in mind, all collected data is deleted from the device once it’s uploaded to the server (instantly with internet connection).
Do you have an API?
 Yes. If you already have your own analytics solution or another business system, you can integrate the results from your feedback surveys into them.
How do you protect against children messing around, or abuse by employees?
 Intelligent analytics and algorithms filter out spam results.
To discourage abuse by employees you should engage employees, so they believe in your feedback strategy and want to perform well. You can also introduce policies forbidding their use of the surveys, CCTV also helps.
Security
