Coupons, forms & questionnaires

Preview has been involved in a very wide range of data collection projects and can capture, process and present data in many familiar formats using a combination of automated forms processing and manual data entry where necessary. Preview's data collection equipment includes automated envelope opening and high speed digital scanners that can process barcodes, handwritten text, OMR codes and can also verify addresses and signatures.

The processing and presentation of data varies from client to client but typically involves:

1. Inbound forms and coupons can be addressed directly to Preview’s processing centre, to a PO box number or forwarded from the client or third party.
2. Envelopes are opened and contents are prepared, de-stapled etc.
3. Contents are scanned and interpreted.
4. Data is manipulated and tabulated in the desired format.
5. Preview can also accept client scanned documents and index these according to the client's own specification.
