Single vendor
Locked into one panel
Feasibility caps out on niche audiences, there's no price tension — and when their panel can't fill, your deadline slips with it.
FieldworkOS for research agencies
One platform for sample management.
However you source.
FieldworkOS is the supplier lifecycle platform for online fieldwork — built for market research agencies running multi-supplier sample projects. It reads and actions supplier email, negotiates to your target margin, gates go-live on verified links, and computes reconciliation at field close.
40+
Supplier emails a day, parsed to cell level
100%
Go-lives gated on verified links
Days
To scale hard-to-reach audiences, not weeks
Minutes
Reconciliation at field close, not days
How agencies source today
Every sourcing route trades something away
Marketplace
Reach without control
Opaque blending, quality that varies by source, and reconciliation disputes argued across someone else's black box.
DIY multi-supplier
Control at the cost of your team
40+ emails a day, CPIs transcribed into spreadsheets, redirects tested by hand, and days of close-out archaeology per project.
The fourth option
Multi-supplier control with single-vendor simplicity — your suppliers, your pricing, your quality bar, orchestrated by a system instead of an inbox. FieldworkOS is not a marketplace; it never sits between you and your suppliers.
One lifecycle, end to end
From the first RFQ to the reconciled invoice
Four stages, one system. The coordination work that currently lives across email, spreadsheets and whoever last checked the inbox — handled in one continuous, auditable flow.
01
Bid & negotiate
AI parses every supplier email; quotes arrive structured to quota-cell level. The strategy engine negotiates CPIs toward your target margin — you approve what matters, and anything uncertain routes to human review, never guessed.
02
Launch
Redirects captured, test IDs swapped, links verified end to end. A failed test blocks launch — the broken-redirect soft launch becomes structurally impossible.
03
In field
Real-time quality, fraud and quota-pace monitoring across every source: quality fails, incidence below bid, geo mismatch, duplicates, quota stalls — flagged while you can still pause the source and protect the deliverable.
04
Close & learn
Valid completes, actual LOI and reconciled CPI computed at field close, with evidence attached. Supplier intelligence compounds — every project sharpens the next bid round.
Hard-to-reach audiences
Scale suppliers to hard-to-reach audiences — in days
Low-IR B2B, healthcare professionals, multi-market quotas: instead of waiting on a couple of suppliers or an opaque marketplace, bid the spec out wide and let the system run the round.
Bid wide in one action
One spec, RFQs to your whole roster at once — new sources onboarded into the same lifecycle, not a new process.
Feasibility answers fast
Structured quotes at quota-cell level show who can actually fill each cell — in days, not weeks of email rounds.
Blend without the black box
Combine sources with per-supplier quality and pacing visible — you control the blend a marketplace hides.
Swap sources mid-field
A stalling or failing supplier gets paused and backfilled from the roster — the deadline holds.
The operational picture
Every supplier on every survey, one screen
Lifecycle state per supplier per survey — from RFQ sent to reconciled and paid. Quota pace, quality flags and pending approvals surface on one dashboard, so status lives in the system instead of in whoever last checked the inbox.
