SurveyStance features

Collect real-time feedback, understand trends, and act when it matters.

Kiosks, email signatures and QR codes collect the feedback. Dashboards, AI summaries and alerts turn it into something your managers can act on, whether you run one location or many.

How it fits together

Three jobs every feedback program needs to do well.

Collect

Collect feedback at the moment it happens.

Put a one-tap survey where the experience happens: an iPad kiosk at the counter, a row of faces in a support rep's email signature, a QR code on a table tent. People answer in a second, while they still remember.

For example: A clinic runs a kiosk at check-out and the same survey in its billing team's email signature. Both land in one dashboard.

Understand

See the trend without reading every response.

Scores, response counts and comments roll up into dashboards by location, device and question. AI summaries read the open-text comments and tell you what keeps coming up.

For example: Instead of reading last week's comments one by one, a manager reads a short summary and sees the theme behind the dip.

Act

Hear about problems while you can still fix them.

Most feedback just needs to reach a report. Some needs a person today. Alert rules watch for low scores, sudden swings and bursts of negative ratings, then text or email whoever owns that location.

For example: Five low ratings in 60 minutes at the restroom kiosk sends the facilities manager a text before the lunch rush.

  1. Flagged A low score, a comment or a trend crosses your rule.
  2. Notified The right manager gets an email or SMS.
  3. Closed out Assign it as a task and mark it done once it's handled.
