What Spotit watches

Watch a list of companies, or a saved search: “any German logistics company over €50M that changes its operations director”. Thirty-one things a register can tell you, plus the things it cannot — hiring, contracts won, new brands, new sites.

The event tells you the score it moved, not just the field it changed — an alert you can act on rather than one more thing to triage.

What does a register never tell you?

A filing tells you a company changed its board. It will not tell you that company is running a nine-year-old warehouse system and just posted four automation jobs. The second sentence is the one that gets your call taken.

All of it lands on one company

None of this is any use if it lands on the wrong company, which is why the boring part matters. Every source is matched to one company record, so a contract won under a trading name and a job posted on a subsidiary’s website end up on the same page as the parent’s accounts.

  • One company, 184 things we know about it. Who they are, where they are, what they do, what they file, who owns them, what they have trademarked, what is on their website, and everything that has changed.
  • The family tree, not just the company. Parents, subsidiaries, branches, brands and locations, so you can roll a whole group up to whoever actually owns it in one call.
  • Everything is dated. Every fact names the document it came from and the day we saw it. You can wind the whole thing back to any date since 2009.

How the scoring works

Write down what a good one looks like: the things that are non-negotiable, the things that just help, and the things that rule a company out. Spotit scores every company against that and re-scores the moment something moves. Nothing to train, no examples to collect, and you can read every weight.

  • Some things are non-negotiable. Most are not. Country and headcount either pass or they do not. A new ops boss or an ageing system just counts for something, and you decide how much.
  • You can take any score apart. Every response shows what each signal contributed and links to the document behind it.
  • Old news counts for less. A new COO 90 days ago is worth a fraction of one who started on Tuesday. You set how fast each signal fades.
  • A 0.90 really means 0.90. Companies we score 0.90 turn into meetings about as often as our other 0.90s do. We re-check that every month against what customers tell us happened.
A score you can’t argue with is a score nobody trusts.

Same card, different job. This one was scored for an acquisition search rather than a sales territory. It arrives the same way in your CRM, a webhook, or an AI tool call.

The answer lands on the account record, in the team channel, in your warehouse tables, and in the tool your AI already calls. There is a Spotit app. Most customers open it about twice a month, which is the point.

4.2

Hours, on average, between a register publishing something and it reaching your systems.

Not a batch window. Not a nightly refresh. The gap between a court filing a notice and your rep being told about it.

Workflows

Same machine, four jobs.

The only thing that changes between these is what you are looking for. The answer always looks the same: a name, a reason and a date.

Sales & GTM

Sales and GTM targeting

Score every company in the territory, not just the ones your SDRs already imported. The list comes back shorter than the one they have now — that is the point — and every row carries a sentence a rep can open the call with.

  1. 1Write the ICP
  2. 2Score the territory
  3. 3Route to the owner
  4. 4Re-score on signal

Signals that move a sales score most: operations or commercial leader change, a hiring burst in the function you sell to, a tender award in your category, a technology your product replaces reaching end-of-support.

M&A sourcing

Sourcing acquisitions off-market

Succession, capital raises, ownership changes and quiet trouble, read together across 192 countries. Your thesis decides who is on the list; the events decide when you call. Each one arrives with the first line already written.

  1. 1Encode the thesis
  2. 2Screen the register
  3. 3Watch the survivors
  4. 4Track the chain

The combination that fires most often: owner over 62, no successor filed, three consecutive years of flat EBITDA, and an auditor change. On our book that pattern preceded a process by a median of seven months.

Sourcing & supply risk

Qualifying and watching suppliers

An industry code someone picked in 2011 will not tell you who can machine the part. What a supplier has actually built, won and filed will. Spotit reads that from contract awards, patents, certifications and plant registrations, and attaches the solvency warning the day it appears.

  1. 1Describe the part
  2. 2Find qualified alternates
  3. 3Check solvency
  4. 4Watch the panel

The early warning that pays for the seat: an auditor resignation or a first overdue filing, on median 94 days before a payment default. Both are public. Almost nobody is watching for them.

The call combines capability and solvency. Solvency is read from filing behaviour and register events, not from a purchased credit score — Grüne Werft filed for insolvency this morning.
Market expansion

Choosing where to expand

No one opens a depot in Germany. They open one in Duisburg, because of the corridor, the cluster and the eleven companies already there. Spotit scores demand town by town, and names the companies that make it real.

  1. 1Pick the unit
  2. 2Score the clusters
  3. 3Name who is there
  4. 4Watch formations

Why the commune: company formation rates, branch registrations and hiring density vary more inside a country than between countries. Aggregating to a national figure destroys exactly the signal you came for.
