When people typically think of Scantron, they remember the #2 pencil and test forms from school; however, Scantron’s products and services have evolved over the last 31 years. Did you know that over 66% of Fortune 500 Companies do business with Scantron? Yes, many customers trust Scantron for their expertise in testing, surveying and other miscellaneous data capture needs.

    Scantron recently collaborated with one of the world’s largest forest product companies to develop a powerful data collection solution. This company needed an easy way to create and deploy recurring paper-based employee surveys to assess employee safety and quality improvements. The study required the flexibility to ask variable questions on the fly for each of its 20+ mills.

    With this new solution, Scantron provided them with the tools to create a survey that is customized for each mill with 5-10 core questions asked at all locations. Once approved by the plant manager and human resources representative, the survey is printed and disseminated by the mill communications support team at crew and safety meetings. Stratified random samplings of up to 300 production employees per mill are surveyed at one time. Instead of manually entering data from the surveys into spreadsheets, as done in the past, the two-page form data is now scanned and automatically input into the corporate database for review. The core questions are benchmarked across the organization and trends noticed are included in their quarterly safety newsletter delivered to all employees.

    Working with Scantron, this organization has significantly reduced the data entry time per location. The streamlining of data collection efforts across their network enabled the company to save at least 20-25 weeks of labor. This significant timesaving allows this Fortune 500 Company to focus on creating and implementing initiatives that are derived from the feedback, rather than on the data collection process itself.

    As part of its comprehensive service offerings, Scantron’s Service Group also handles the installation and maintains all Scantron hardware systems such as scanners, interfacing computers, and supported operating systems. Working together, the complete solution enables this organization to effectively streamline its data capture efforts.
