Other useful information:

Thanks to the Ranking module, compuBase is enable to provide you with the turnover realised by any headquarters of resellers in the product you need.
To achieve this, we work on the data collected by compuBase and models that benefit from our large market coverage. With 115,000 referenced companies, compuBase developed very reliable statistic models.
Knowing the turnover by product is much more useful than knowing the global turnover of a company, as you can compare this information with your sales and then know your share of wallet by sales spot / region / market, etc.
Many companies possess wide catalogues of products and/or of sale services that make the company turnover hardly readable.

Recruitment:
Our client cases show us that when you focus on companies with very high potential, you increase your recruitments by 4.

Optimisation:
By knowing your share of wallet, you will be able to improve the treatment of your partners according to their business potential (incremental or total) and not according to the turnover realised with this partners, as most of the companies do nowadays.
With the Ranking, you can also know the sensibility of a reseller to a certain product. Indeed, you can feel a reseller that makes 100% of his turnover in your product category is different from a reseller that makes 3% of his turnover on this same product, however both resellers can do the same turnover with you…

Theses approaches enable to accelerate the revenue increase and to adapt business resources to the real potential of the account.

Market appraisal (Market Sizing / Market Capacity):
This service can also be very useful to make Market Capacity exercises for most of the products. You will be able to know the business potential by:
- Region
- Type of contact
- Market Target
To achieve this research, you often need to be supported by the compuBase’s consulting team because the appraisal of a market deeply depends upon the knowledge of the product, the data of our database and the methodology to gather information.
On the arrival of a business team, market appraisal is useful to know the potential according to its market target.

To make a Ranking, we always start with data available in the compuBase database.
Some of the companies answered the question we are interested in and for the others, we do not have the answer. These last companies represent the Ranking value, as we developed a modelisation that enables to get a very relevant result.

The modelisation includes many factors, within which: the main activity of the company, the structure of the turnover already known, the company turnover, the number of employees, the country, etc.

This modelisation is relevant because it is based on a statistic database gathering 115,000 companies. One of the reasons why the Ranking is relevant is this large number of companies.

The result of a Ranking represents a slot of turnover, for example: between 250 K€ and 325 K€ of turnover done in laserjet printer.
To make a Ranking easier to use, compuBase also supplies a median (middle of the slot) and a reliance grade or a solidity grade that is calculated according to the number of models used to reach the result.

compuBase certifies that the result will be correct for 80 % to 90 % of the companies, which means that if you ask the company, the reality will be in the slot mentioned by compuBase.
