Tired of Manual Data Collection?
You find relevant professional profiles for your research, then spend hours copying each data point manually into spreadsheets.
The Manual Process
Researchers still spend hours copying every profile into spreadsheets or databases—time that adds up to days per study on pure data entry. Every researcher knows this workflow: find a profile, then spend 5-10 minutes per entry copying information field by field.
- Find professional profile on website
- Copy name, title, organization manually
- Copy education and experience details
- Record demographics and location data
- Paste everything into research database
- Repeat for hundreds of profiles...
⏱️ 5-10 minutes per profile × 100 profiles = 8-17 hours of data entry work
