Run clients, outlets, shoppers, programmes, assignments, questionnaires and review from one operating platform.

WHY RETAILHAWK

Less coordination by spreadsheet. More control in the platform.

Mystery shopping operations create dozens of hand-offs: programme setup, shopper eligibility, allocation, questionnaire versions, evidence, corrections, review and client delivery. RetailHawk turns those hand-offs into explicit system state so the team can see what is happening without rebuilding the answer manually.

Control who can take each visitEligibility, rotation, cooldown and programme rules sit before booking rather than in a coordinator's memory or spreadsheet.
Keep questionnaire history trustworthyPublished questionnaire versions are immutable, so work already issued does not silently change when the next version is created.
Make review ownership visibleIndependent review decisions and reviewer ownership make outstanding work visible instead of burying QA state inside email and shared notes.
Separate operational statesBooked, evidence submitted, reviewed and released are different events. RetailHawk keeps those boundaries explicit; shopper payment will remain a separate event when finance is introduced.
Use your current survey stack where neededUse RetailHawk questionnaires or connect configured external providers without treating a simple link-open as proof of completion.
Migrate one programme at a timeStart with a bounded live programme, keep the incumbent where necessary and expand only when the evidence supports the next move.
FROM BRIEF TO RESULT

One operating workflow instead of a chain of workarounds.

RetailHawk is designed around the real sequence of fieldwork. The operating model stays consistent from programme setup through client delivery, with later modules added as they reach release readiness.

One platform for every kind of field evaluation

WHAT’S NEW

New in RetailHawk 3

A clean rebuild of the platform for modern fieldwork operations, with explicit controls around tenancy, assignment state and evidence handling.

See all features
NEW
Proof capture

Private evidence storage and scanning are already in the platform foundation. Capture-time device proof, richer media and geospatial evidence are part of the next fieldwork releases.

NEW
Bring your own survey

External survey-provider configuration and authenticated completion evidence are implemented as a framework for configured providers, so a visit can rely on provider confirmation rather than link-open alone.

NEW
Seven-state visit tracking

Assignment, completion evidence and independent reviewer decisions already use explicit states. Controlled client release is available in early access; finance remains a separate roadmap stage.

MOVING FROM AN EXISTING PLATFORM?

Change the platform without disrupting the programme.

A RetailHawk migration does not have to be a big-bang replacement. Start with one client or programme, map the operating rules and data it actually needs, validate it with synthetic data, then run it alongside your current platform before expanding.

See the migration approach
1. Choose a bounded programmeAgree scope, users, outlets, rules and success criteria.
2. Map only the data with a purposeClients, outlets, shoppers and history are migrated deliberately, not by default.
3. Run side by sideKeep incumbent tools where needed while RetailHawk proves the new workflow.
4. Expand when the evidence supports itMove the next programme or capability only after the first one has worked.
