Through our formalization of strategic partnerships with in-market suppliers that provide the field data collection resource and where FGI provides the mobile data collection platform, project management and data management functions, we have overcome the slow turnaround times and poor-quality data that is pandemic to research in Africa. Market research data is synchronized to the FGI server in South Africa on a daily basis, allowing any field or data quality issues to be corrected whilst the field teams are still in field.

Typically FGI focuses on customised projects where clients have stated business objectives, such as:
