FieldworkOS
If a buyer runs fieldwork through FieldworkOS, your RFQs, specs and reconciliation arrive structured and clear: less back-and-forth, fewer disputes, faster payment.

Get discovered for what you actually deliver.
Buyers searching for your audiences should be able to find you. On Open Network, they can.
Open Network is a structured directory where research buyers discover suppliers by audience, geography and specialization. List what you do, get found by buyers looking for exactly that, and talk to them directly. You stay named, you keep the relationship, and you keep control.

No scores and no ranking. Every profile is the supplier’s own description, dated, and you choose who to approach.
First, what you're wondering
No, we’re not a marketplace. And no, we’re not a middleman.
Most platforms that approach a supplier want something from your sample. Open Network does none of that.
What most platforms want
- Resell your sample
- Take a cut
- Blend you into an anonymous pool where you compete on price alone
You stay named.
Buyers see it's you: your capabilities, your specialization. Not an unlabelled line in a pool.
You keep the relationship.
Buyers approach you directly. The conversation, the terms and the respondent stay yours.
We don't take a commission.
We're not in your transaction and we take no cut of it.
You're never locked in.
Listing is non-exclusive and costs nothing. It sits alongside everything you already do.
Open Network makes you discoverable. It doesn’t step between you and the buyer.
The problem it solves
Good suppliers lose work they could have won, because buyers couldn't find them.
You can deliver audiences other suppliers can't. But a buyer can only choose a supplier they know exists, and today that means being remembered from a past project or spotted in a general directory where your specialism is buried among hundreds of listings.
So the work goes to whoever the buyer already had in their inbox, not necessarily whoever was the best fit. If you're a specialist, a regional expert, or newer to a buyer's roster, that's demand you never even got the chance to quote.
Open Network changes who gets found.
When a buyer searches for the exact audience, market or capability you offer, you show up: described in your own terms, on equal footing with everyone else who fits.
How it works
List once. Get found on your terms.
01
Create your profile
Describe your audiences, markets, supply model and specialist capabilities in a structured format. It takes minutes, and you control every field.
02
Run a test study
Before your profile goes live, your team runs one dry-run study with SoftSight as the buyer: RFQ to close, over email, with no respondents involved.
03
Get discovered by fit
When buyers search for what you offer, your profile appears alongside others who match, so the inquiries you get are relevant, not random.
04
Talk directly
Interested buyers approach you. You quote, negotiate and deliver exactly as you do today. Open Network isn't involved in the deal.
05
Stay current
Keep your profile up to date with a last-confirmed date, so buyers know your capabilities are live, not years old.
One requirement before you go live
Run one test study with us. No traffic needed.
Every supplier agrees to run a test study for SoftSight before their profile goes live. It's a dry run of the FieldworkOS workflow, with SoftSight acting as the buyer, so your team knows every step before a real buyer's RFQ arrives.
It tests only the communication between buyer and supplier: who sends what, when, and what a good reply looks like.
What it isn’t
- No live traffic, and no respondents enter a survey
- No completes to deliver and nothing to invoice
- Not an assessment: nothing from it appears on your profile
What your team walks through
01
Reply to an RFQ
A test RFQ arrives at your project email, in the format FieldworkOS sends. Reply with feasibility, incidence, LOI and CPI as you would for a real project.
02
Negotiate CPI
We counter on CPI by email, so your team sees how a negotiation thread runs and how the agreed rate is confirmed.
03
Set up the supplier link
You receive a test survey link and set up your entry link and the complete, terminate and over-quota redirects. No respondents are sent through it.
04
Run fieldwork
We walk through launch, live quota updates, pause and close as the messages your team would receive, and what each one asks of you.
05
Close and reconcile
A test reconciliation shows how IDs, accepted completes and rejections are agreed at the end of a project.
You agree to it on the application form. We schedule it with your project contact after the onboarding call.
Your profile
Show buyers what makes you the right fit.
Every profile uses the same structure, which works in your favour: a buyer comparing options sees your strengths clearly instead of losing them in a wall of free text.
Company
Who you are and where you operate.
Audience
The populations you can reach.
Geography
The markets and languages you cover.
Supply model
How you source: proprietary panel, partners, community, or a mix.
Specializations
Where you have real depth others don't.
Technology
How you connect to a buyer's workflow.
Quality approach
How you describe your recruitment and respondent-quality practices, in your own words.
You decide what to show. Everything is supplier-provided and clearly labelled as yours.

Supplier’s own description, not a verified standard
The differentiator that matters to you
Named, not blended.
Your quality becomes an asset again, not something averaged away.
On an anonymous exchange
A quality supplier gets flattened into a pool: the buyer never knows it was you, your specialization is invisible, and you’re forced to compete on price alone. Over time, that commoditizes you.
On Open Network, the opposite by design
Your name, your capabilities and your specialist strengths stay visible and attached to you. Buyers choose you because of what you do, and come back to you directly.
The trust terms
Listing is genuinely on your terms.
01
Free to list
No cost to create or maintain a profile.
02
Non-exclusive
No requirement to drop the buyers, partners or platforms you already work with.
03
You control your data
Everything shown is what you provide. Update it, limit it, or remove it anytime.
04
No commission, no hidden hook
We don't take a cut of your sample, and we don't sell your profile against you.
So how does SoftSight make money?
Fairly and transparently. SoftSight earns when buyers choose to run their fieldwork through FieldworkOS or protect it with SurveyGuard, the paid parts of the platform. Your listing is free because a well-populated network is what makes those tools valuable.
You are never the product.
What comes after discovery
When you win the work, the rest is easier too.
Discovery is where Open Network's job ends. But many buyers who find you here go on to run the study through the wider SoftSight platform, and that works in your favour.
SurveyGuard
Because every respondent can be checked at the door by SurveyGuard, clean delivery becomes something you can prove, which is exactly what earns repeat business.
See SurveyGuardYou don’t have to use any of it. But when a buyer does, being on the network makes you easier to work with.
