CrowdFlower

edit

CrowdFlower is the leader in enterprise crowdsourcing. CrowdFlower’s technology platform offers quality-ensured crowdsourcing at massive scale. The company solves problems ranging from product categorization to business lead verification to content creation. Clients from startups to the Fortune 500 enjoy increased flexibility, faster turnaround time and cost savings.

Enterprise crowdsourcing offers the ability to distribute tasks to a massive group of contributors with automated management and quality control in order to streamline many large-scale business projects.

CrowdFlower takes large, data-heavy projects and breaks them into small tasks that are distributed to more than 1.5 million on-demand contributors globally. CrowdFlower’s technology platform uses statistical workflow management to ensure superior quality at unprecedented scale. This is the simplest and most flexible way for businesses of all sizes to scale workforces and accurately complete human evaluation of business information.
