Refresh The Data Only MARSC Can Reach

MARSC Generic Refresh

In an effort to respond to your needs, MARSC has developed a way to regularly refresh and update your MARSC data. This instantly resolves the problem of how to input new information about people into a MARSC database on a regular basis.

MARSC Generic Refresh tool is the definitive way to maintain an accurate and relevant database for sampling. All your panellists’ information is updated whenever new data is added.

MARSC Generic Refresh adapts to your needs.

Already in place at www.theidfactor.com since the beginning of 2008, the Generic Refresh is a flexible mechanism that can work with any interviewing software or panel database on any database platform. Our Generic Refresh is an automated process that pulls your most recent information into a MARSC database from your latest questionnaire.

A Few Of The Benefits Of MARSC Generic Refresh:

MARSC Generic Refresh Connects MARSC to Your Own Database

If you are running your own panel database alongside the MARSC sampling tool, you need a simple way to add in further information from it into MARSC over time. The Generic Refresh allows you to build into your panel database any survey questions and answers from previous questionnaires and to use this information to be more selective on the sample for new projects. MARSC therefore ensures increasingly well-targeted sampling.

Triple S is the easy format

You can transfer information into our Generic Refresh by any bespoke process, but if you want an easy solution simply use Triple S format to bring data into the Generic Refresh and use it right away. You can instantly import your data in exactly the right format for Generic Refresh. Triple S checks your fields, DOB, gender, integer values, data fields, categoric fields and values etc, then describes the data exactly to Generic Refresh.

MARSC fully supports Triple S, so whatever software you use, you can present the data to MARSC in Triple S format. Visit www.triple-s.org for more information.
