Our 3 types of panel
SensoStat offers three types of panel, called up and selected according to your needs :
1
Experts panel
We hire and train for you a panel specialised in a range of products (bread, biscuits, etc.).
The members of this panel are selected for their sensory abilities and then trained rigorously and regularly to maintain the quality and objectivity of their evaluations.
2
Consummers panel
Our consumers database is constantly growing and contains people of all ages. When members register, they fill in a form allowing us to constitute specific panels (ex: age, gender, using habits of some products, etc.).
The regular update of this database ensures the involvement of consumers is monitored to guarantee the spontaneity of responses. Thus, they can only be involved in six panels a year.
3
WorldWide Panel
We have a very dense network of international partners. Therefore, we can intervene at your request anywhere in the world.
