Happy Holidays and a Prosperous New Year to you and your loved ones.

We have been busy at Mineful and are ready for some time away with our loved ones. Before we do that, we wanted to let you know about our newest feature.

Everyone who drives a car understands the importance of a dashboard. How fast are you going? How much gas do you have left? Are there any warning lights flashing? Survey dashboards provide one consistent view of product and customer opinions. This allows decision makers to see what’s working and what needs to be changed.

Watch our 3-minute video on how to create dashboards with Mineful:

Characteristics of Mineful’s Survey Dashboards:

• Access from anywhere there is internet.
• It takes 3 seconds, not 3 hours, to understand the key information you need.
• Tabbed dashboards make navigation easy and intuitive.
• Dashboards are automatically updated with the latest available data.
• Dashboards allow you to export charts to use in presentations.
• Dashboards can use data from multiple surveys simultaneously.

Enjoy the Holidays as we prepare for an exciting new year.
