Site Management & Analytics

Many of us have a history of picking, installing, customizing, and managing enterprise software. And it sucks. Besides making sure the end user experience was simple and feature rich, we wanted to make sure the tools to administer a site were just as easy and the data and stats you have access to useful and action oriented. Unless your site is behind your firewall we can safely say: no internal IT support required.

"Every time you release a new feature or make an improvement, I go and brag to my counterparts who are struggling with enterprise software installations that are in to their 6th and 7th month of pain."
-Strategic Planning Manager, Global Energy Company

Analytics - Turning Predictions into Action

You've worked hard to ask good questions and get people to participate. But now you want further insight in to the predictions being made: who are your best predictors, how active people are, how well your site is doing and how you compare to others. Well none of your own number crunching here, we've done all the work for you and present to you 18 different views of what's happening in your site.

Inkling can not only produce predictions but begins to understand who the best predictors are in your organization.

Configuration

Add your own logo. Turn features on and off. Add a welcome message. Customize the registration process to ask for additional information like Department or geographic area. It's your world, we just live in it.

Use the Raw Data

Download reports any time you want to see every prediction made, the current and past results of every possible answer to every question, the balances of all the users, and more. Reports are in a standard .csv format which allows for easy viewing and manipulation.

Ask Your Own Questions (DIY)

Seems obvious, right? With our publisher, you can have multiple questions available to trade in just a few minutes. You can ask simple yes/no questions, and multiple choice questions. You can even ask people to predict specific dates and numeric values. Along with the questions you can add supporting information and import RSS or Twitter headlines to keep everything up to date automatically.

Let Others Ask Too

Do you know every question that should be asked? Give your users the ability to ask their own questions while still having final say as to what makes it live.

Private Questions

Sometimes you want to ask a question but don't want your whole company to know you're asking it. You can define a subset of people to participate in a question and no one else will know that question even exists.

Plagiarize to Your Heart's Content

Maybe you want to ask the same question every month. Maybe you want to ask general questions about your industry or even "fun" questions about sports or reality television shows. With our new "replication" feature you can copy questions you've asked before and have them running again in seconds. Similarly you can register in our public marketplace and import questions from there in to your own site.
