Know what information can support your next move.

Start with the market you want to understand.

Choose several markets or begin with a global research scope, then focus on the places your team can serve. The information available for a company depends on the source, country, period and type of business activity, so define the sales question before judging the result.

Start with Fluxum’s in-house trade database.

Fluxum is a customs and trade database built in-house by POMELLOO. Its cumulative internal inventory has reached the 500-million-record scale—counted as raw records, without company-level deduplication—and continues to grow as sources are refreshed. Search available records by product name to explore the companies and documented trade activity behind a product. Searchable coverage and fields vary by market, source, rights and period; a record may lack a usable business contact channel, and past trade does not establish current demand.

Public information adds business context.

Omnifeer finds and compares public company websites, business information and relevant developments. These sources can help explain what a company does, which role it plays and how it presents its business contact channels. Check that the information concerns the same organization and note any disagreement between sources.

• A matching name alone is not enough to establish company identity.
• An absent field means information is missing; it does not settle the business question.

Match the source to the intended use.

Plan around the countries, periods and fields your task needs, and confirm the uses covered by the applicable source terms and service agreement. Access, display, export, redistribution and model training each need a clear scope. Contact us to discuss the requirements for your proposed use.

• Fluxum supports company research with trade and customs records available for the task.
• Model supports interpretation, translation and drafting; review its suggestions alongside the source evidence.

Check the date as carefully as the match.

Update timing varies by source and market. Where dates are available, distinguish when an event happened from when the information was published or updated. Before acting, consider whether the evidence is recent enough for your question and identify what needs a fresh check.
