A NYSE-listed policy and government-intelligence company
Runs its web data collection on the Import.io platform.
Government & Public Sector web data
Public data, made usable. For the agencies that measure the economy — and the companies that serve them.
Import.io collects public prices, tenders, sanctions, registries and legislation from retail sites and official sources. Statistics, procurement, consumer-protection and research teams receive structured, timestamped records through an API or managed feed, with source evidence retained for audit.

The economy moved online. So did the evidence.
Governments publish more than ever, across thousands of portals, gazettes and PDFs. And the economy itself now lives online, which is why statistical offices increasingly use web prices and regulators need evidence captured from live pages. Import.io collects both, with the timestamps, snapshots and methodology public work demands.
Statistical offices around the world now use prices collected from retailer websites alongside traditional price collection, because the web offers far larger samples at far higher frequency. Consumer protection and competition authorities need the same data as evidence: what a shopper was shown, when, with a snapshot to prove it.
On the other side of the desk, public procurement is fragmented across national, regional and local portals in dozens of formats and languages. Companies that sell to government — and the agencies that want more of them to bid — need it in one place.

maintained datasets
The hard parts, handled.
What breaks when this is done with scripts, and how Import.io handles it.
01
Fragmentation
Thousands of portals and formats are handled once and maintained, so coverage doesn’t decay as portals are redesigned.
02
Documents and attachments
Notices, gazettes and tender documents are parsed from PDFs and attachments, not just listing pages.
03
Classification
Notices and products are classified to the codes you use — procurement codes or your price-index categories.
04
Evidential standards
Every observation carries a timestamp, source URL, content hash and snapshot, for audit and enforcement.
How a program is scoped.
A clear operating plan before collection begins.
01
Sources
Agree the public sites, pages and coverage the program needs.
02
Schema and fields
Define the entities, fields and validation rules for each structured record.
03
Delivery cadence
Set the refresh schedule and choose API or managed-feed delivery.
Three ways to get it.
Same capture engine underneath each one.
Managed programs
Statistics offices, regulators and procurement teams who need documented methodology, audit trail and an SLA.

Government & Public Sector questions.
Straight answers.
Can web prices be used in official price statistics?
Many statistical offices already use web-collected prices alongside traditional collection. We supply the prices and classification to your categories; index methodology stays with your team.
Can you capture evidence for enforcement?
Yes. Every observation carries a timestamp, source URL, content hash and snapshot of what was shown.
Which procurement portals do you cover?
Coverage is built per program across national, regional and local portals; notices are merged into one schema and deduplicated.
Can processing stay in a specific region?
Processing regions, retention and delivery destinations are agreed in scoping to meet your requirements.
Do you document methodology?
Yes. Sources, collection schedules, classification rules and quality checks are documented for each program.
