What We Do
The only database of its kind, companies use our spending and PO database to see the full scope of what federal, state, local, and education organizations have purchased. Companies use this information to see which products and services agencies have purchased, how much, from which company, and related contact information about that agency.
How do we collect this data?
Over nearly a decade, we’ve created processes and relationships with agencies where we collect purchasing records in the form of POs directly from agencies. This process requires a large team of dedicated data acquisition specialists, data engineers, and developers in combination with patented technology we’ve developed to aggregate, process, and normalize the data. No one else has this data for all levels of government, nationwide.
Our mission is to help procurement professionals make better purchasing decisions and find potential leads. We collect and provide access to critical purchasing data that enables the overall purchasing process to be much more efficient. Bottom line: our product does two great things at once – it saves the government millions of dollars and helps government vendors become more profitable.
