Automated competitive intelligence

-80% monitoring time

Monitoring competitors systematically, offers, hires, partnerships, patents, public statements, requires regular work by qualified people. Done by hand, monitoring becomes intermittent: it resumes at budget time or after a competitor's announcement, and so always after the fact.

The automated workflow

A structured process for fast, reliable results.

Setting competitors and signals

The scope is defined: competitors tracked and types of signal to capture (offers, hires, patents, partnerships, public statements).

Automated multi-source collection

Continuous monitoring of corporate websites, social networks, patent databases, job ads, trade press and official registers.

Signal analysis and qualification

Categorisation, relevance scoring and context, with significant strategic moves identified.

The technical limit is generous. In practice, starting with 5 to 10 priority competitors gives the best results, with the scope widened gradually.

Corporate websites, social networks (LinkedIn, X), patent databases, job sites, trade press, legal registers and sector databases.

Relevance scoring based on your strategic priorities ranks the signals, with weaker ones still available further down. Filtering improves with your qualification feedback.

Yes, alerts and summaries arrive by email, Slack or Teams, or are integrated via API into your BI and strategic management tools.

Industry monitoring and trends

Spotting a trend before it becomes obvious means going through a growing volume of sources: trade press, analyst notes, academic papers, institutional announcements. Read by sampling, this material yields its lessons once the market has already moved.

A press review ready every morning

Media monitoring and press review

Tracking press coverage of the company, its leaders and its strategic topics takes a fixed amount of time every morning. Conventional press review tools miss pick-ups and indirect quotes, and give a reading of tone too coarse to manage a reputation.

-70% technology watch time

Technology and patent watch

Tracking patent filings, scientific publications and innovations relevant to the business requires sharp expertise. R&D teams spend their time on their projects first. Signals from the USPTO, EPO, INPI and WIPO, journals and conferences pile up faster than internal reading capacity.
