TouchPoll of South Florida is an authorized distributor for TouchPoll, Inc., and is managed by Lanie and Robert Shapiro, who joined TouchPoll in 2005. TPI World Headquarters are located in Winter Park , FL and has over 30 licensed distributors around the world, including South Florida. TouchPoll, Inc. was originally founded in 1976 as United Research (UR), which created the very first mechanical opinion research machine, and later developed the first chip-driven polling center which was featured in the Knoxville World's Fair. In 1984, the company name changed to Special Events Research (SER) to better reflect the nature of most of its work, and soon created the first portable computerized polling system. In 1989, SER introduced the world's first interactive touchscreen opinion collection equipment. TouchPoll has been owned by SER, and, eventually, it became the parent company.

In 2004, Lanie Shapiro was attending a trade show in the special events industry and had participated in a TouchPoll survey. She was so impressed with the technology and simplicity of gathering data, that she decided to become an exclusive licensee and introduce the concept in South Florida.

Lanie earned a B.B.A. degree in Marketing from Hofstra University and has over 20 years experience in the field of advertising, sales and media research. Her background includes extensive experience in radio, television and magazine advertising, as well as promotional programs, sponsorship sales and activation. She has served a wide variety of local, regional and national clients.

TouchPoll South Florida is dedicated to providing excellent service with reliability and ease of implementation.
