But don’t just take our word for it. Ask yourself these questions…
Do you have complete market coverage with your current supplier?
Our customers tell us we are the best in the business when it comes to the level of detail our data provides – we are the only data supplier that reports in detail on all planned projects over £100k in the UK – our UK-based Research team are currently tracking:
- 147,000 projects
- 105,000 companies involved with these
- 256,000 individual names contacts with job titles and email addresses
We only update projects when a major change has occurred so that our customers don’t have to sift through irrelevant updates or minor changes.
Does your current supplier understand the UK planning project lifecycle and have relationships with information sources?
There are no shortcuts here, the process of collecting our detailed project information requires accuracy and the ability to understand and communicate with a wide variety of sources. We are uniquely placed to do this due to our commitment to contact building and desk research. Our hands on customer service approach is also commended (read our customer testimonials), and we are proud of the fact that ALL of our research, customer and technical support colleagues are UK based.
These are just some of the reasons why we are also exclusive data suppliers to real industry bodies such as the Construction Products Association and the Housing Marketing Intelligence (HMI) annual reports.
Is your current web-based service reliable? Does it have regular functionality improvements?
Our customers have enjoyed a stable web-based service for years with regular ongoing investment into improvements. We have led the market with innovative features and developments which will help you to make more of our data - such as launching Analytics, our trend analysis tool, in 2007 and providing integrated CRM options in 2008. Many of the features launched are as a result of feedback from our customers. Our investment in a single long-term software partner rather than irregular large and unwieldy development contracts ensures we have reliable on-time deliveries, not broken promises, and are agile enough to respond to our customers needs.
The systems we provide only exist to help customers search for and manage their leads within their organisation, sharing information, tracking and ensuring they get the most value from them with the least hassle…. in short they’re built for you.
