Latest News:     About Kompass

Kompass is the name of a system for the compilation, production and supply of business-to-business information, either in printed form or in computerized form.

This is a highly sophisticated system, conceived and created since about 50 years, and continuously developed and improved  since then by specialists in information and in computer technology.

Kompass is an international license, presently exploited in more than 70 countries, where licensees work on producing and publishing a database, containing general information on companies based in their respective countries, classified according to alphabetical, geographical or activity criteria.

Kompass uniform international database, which includes about 2.3m companies, 860,000 trade names and 4.6m executive names, is one of the largest, most comprehensive and most accurate in the world.

Kompass unique Universal Classification System (UCS), according to which this database is organized, covers about 89 large sectors. These are divided in about 2,200 branches, under which about 57,000 products and services are listed.

 

In every country where they are published, Kompass professional directories, a major feature of the system, have become leading reference directories, and have in many cases earned the support of official industry associations.

Kompass databases and directories give the possibility to their users:

 
1. To identify potential suppliers and potential customers.
2. To identify main manufacturers,wholesalers, and retailers of a product or main suppliers of a service.
3. To obtain general or public record information on a company in a specific country.

Kompass licensees not only publish professional directories and sell business databases, but are also in a position to process selective databases at the request of their customers, to assist their customers in launching direct marketing campaigns, and to analyze results of such campaigns.
