What is the methodology behind the data?

Off-Highway Research is staffed by industry specialists with a wide range of sectorial, language, analytical and consultancy skills with experience. We conduct primary research and gather information through thousands of face-to-face interviews each year. Our meticulous approach to field research methodology, of all the dealers and manufacturers in every country in which we research, helps ensure the accuracy and high quality of the information we provide to our clients. We have been undertaking this research programme for over 35 years and have gained copious experience and accuracy in this field.

 

How accurate are our forecasts?

Through our extensive knowledge, years of research and experience in the field we are confident in both our actual data and our forecasts. Our forecasts, like our actual data, are based on our meticulous primary research and face-to-face interview methodology in which is trusted throughout the industry. Off-Highway Research’s forecasts are therefore as accurate as possible to our actual data. As a continual process we update all figures as a part of the research process, and this enables us to maintain our accuracy and the years projection ahead.

 

What is available to help analyse trends?

To help analyse trends and the data in our databases Off-Highway Research release an Annual Review in April. These reports supplement to their retrospective database - The Chinee Annual Review is supplied with the Chinese Database, the European Annual Review with the Euroepan Database, and so on. Our databases also enable straightforward data export to Excel, allowing easy integration of information with other sources and Clients’ own in-house systems.

 

What are the different Site Licences?

Off-Highway Research offers three Site Licence options for our cleints. All licence options are agreed upon between Off-Highway Research and the Clients in order to best meet the clients needs and gain the most from their subscription as a company. The three licence options are as follows:

Single-Site

A single-site licence is one office location only with 5 user access to the subscriptions held by the company. Anyone outside of this office location including within the same company would not be granted access under this licencing option. Each licence option appoints a licence administrator chosen by the company who will control who can have access to the subscriptions that are currently held. All login credentials are individual to the user and due to security and confidentiality of our site and its users these are not permitted to be shared in any form under Off-Highway Research’s terms and conditions.

Multi-Site

If a company needs wider access to their subscriptions outside that in which the single site licence offers, their next step is to contact Off-Highway Research. Many companies find they need to span access across 2 – 3 locations or offices and a larger number of users than 5 would be more appropriate for the company. A multi-site licence in this instance would be suitable and is generally between 2 and 3 sites (as agreed upon at time of negotiations between the company and Off-Highway Research) with up to 15 users dispersed across these sites. The same security and administrator roles as above apply.

With the above two options, the sharing of documents and data on a companywide Intranet or other such communication is forbidden under Off-Highway Research’s terms and conditions  

Global-Site

The largest licence offered by Off-Highway Research is a global site licence. This would be negotiated between Off-Highway Research and the company in question in order to meet the specified needs stated during consultation. Unlike the first two options the use of a companywide intranet is permitted as outlined by Off-Highway Research’s terms and conditions allowing greater access to the subscriptions for all staff members who should need it. As with the above two licence options all login credentials are unique to the individual and must not be shared (every user must have their own unique login). A licence administrator will also be appointed who controls the overall company subscriptions and access levels for its users.
