Own Your Data, Safely

This is important: the PFS Online is a centralized platform for giving out the survey and running your reports - but you get to own your own data. Each group is set up with a separate database which they own and control.

Customize PFS and Create Your Own Questions

The PFS is a validated instrument, but you can add your own questions that support your agency, and gather your own custom data.
