Building-permit intelligence for suppliers. We resolve the messy names in municipal permit data into real companies, then track who's accelerating — so your reps call the right contractor before your competitors know they exist.
Request a free territory snapshotMunicipal open data lists the same company under half a dozen names — divisions, legal suffixes, regional qualifiers, typos. Rank contractors without fixing that and you'll tell your sales team something false about the top of their market.
Divisions, LPs, numbered companies and name variants unified into real businesses — conservatively. A false merge costs trust; borderline cases go to review, never auto-merged.
Reps don't need to be told who's big. They need who's accelerating, who's new to the market, and who's slowing — we store history so trends are real, not guessed.
Every source has lag. We measure and publish ours per municipality. If a number can't be defended, it doesn't ship.
Send us your region and product category. You'll get a one-page snapshot of contractor activity in your market — free, specific, and yours to keep.
