What is CATI?

CATI stands for Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing. This is where interviewers follow an electronic survey script and record responses to pre-coded responses within the system. Essentially, it is a more efficient way for interviewers to collect data for quantitative market research compared to more traditional telephone interviews. 

What are the benefits of CATI?​

The key benefits of telephone data collection are:

  • Speed – the interviewing process is made to be quicker and more efficient as data is entered into the system at the time of the interview. With CATI, you no longer need additional data processing (such as transcription and data entry), which will also help to reduce time, errors and costs
  • Low cost of data collection
  • Quality control to reduce errors
  • Enables you to interview hard-to-reach audiences e.g. offline users
  • Postcode region targeting can focus on regions of interest
  • Postcode region targeting can focus on regions of interest
  • Conversations can be recorded, allowing you to listen to audio recordings at a later date
  • Interviewers can focus on the interview and the respondent’s answers as the instructions/questions are already pre-coded
  • Many modern CATI platforms will allow for mixed-mode methodologies (i.e. you can combine telephone interviews with online surveys), which is particularly useful where several methods of data collection are required to maximise response rates

How can data be collected through telephonic interviews?

With CATI telephone data collection, an interviewer will have access to a computer system which contains pre-coded questions for them to ask respondents. As answers are given, the interviewer will input this information directly into the system.

Who can benefit from CATI data collection services?

A wide range of companies can benefit from CATI data collection, including:

  • Companies looking to improve their customer services
  • Those looking for an insight into their customers or competitors, so they can improve their marketing strategy and make more informed business decisions
  • Those who need to collect information from hard-to-reach audiences such as Managing Directors, offline users, stakeholders and young audiences (such as those in the 18-24 year-old bracket)
  • Those performing market research (i.e. identifying popular products and discovering which services are high in demand).

Moreover, many CATI softwares will also allow for simpler sample management, quota management (ensuring enough interviews with specific groups are completed) and more effective monitoring of response rates which helps to make the process of obtaining valuable data seamless with less issues.
