The reference base

14 million companies, registered and continuously updated.

Nothing is bought from a broker and resold. What
companies publish is captured continuously, structured, then
tied back to their registration. It is that last step that separates
a reference base from a mere registry extract.

Collected, structured, matched.

Order matters. The first two steps produce raw material; the third makes it addressable, by attaching each piece of information to an identified company rather than to a domain name.

Step 1 · Detection

Detect and extract

What a company publishes says what it does, often better than its activity code. We keep what can be verified: the trade practised, the products announced, the website’s tools, the certifications on display.

Step 2 · Recording

Record the decision-makers

A contact only matters tied to their role. Each is therefore attached to a department and a function, with the points of contact found: work email, phone line, LinkedIn profile.

Step 3 · Matching

Match to the legal identity

Each element is tied to the company’s registration, itself refreshed continuously. The company and its contacts stay two separate objects: you always know who you are talking to, and on behalf of which organisation.

Volumes

The reference base in figures, on 1 October 2026.

The three counters do not add up: a company may have no known contact, or several sites. Each is fixed on the same date, otherwise the comparison makes no sense.

Companies
14,113,243

Active, registered companies, whose status is tracked in the register.

Contacts
17,813,687

People identified in a role, within a company known to the reference base.

Websites
1,609,130

Domains reviewed regularly, and attributed to the company that runs them.

The technologies detected on the sites make it possible to isolate 200,000 online retailers. It is a subset of the first counter, not a fourth unit.

Updates

A reference base goes stale. This one corrects itself.

01
The legal identity is refreshed continuously. A closure, a change of head office or of leadership flows through to the profile and to the lists that contain it.
02
Signals are dated. A hire, a building permit or a fundraising round is worth its date: an eighteen-month-old signal no longer triggers anything.
03
Sites are re-analysed. A company that changes its e-commerce solution changes segment, without anyone having to flag it.
Compliance

A GDPR-compliant solution, on both fronts.

Responsibility in processing

  • The data processed is professional data, tied to a role within a company.
  • It is collected from sources published by the companies themselves.
  • The company and its contacts stay two distinct units, never merged.

Transparency towards individuals

  • A data protection officer is appointed, and handles access requests as well as objections.
  • The rules applied are written and public: see the personal data protection charter.
  • A person whose work address is indexed is informed before any use.
