Company Insights for the Netherlands
Every business decision starts with good data. Whether assessing credit risk, monitoring corporate reputation, or screening for fraud, accurate information about companies in the Netherlands is essential.
Sentometrics provides a clear view of every active company in the Netherlands. This is achieved by combining official registry facts with real-time news.
Pluggable Corporate Facts
Data is gathered and standardized directly from official sources like the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK). This provides reliable information for each registered company, including:
- Sector codes and descriptions
- Establishment date and legal form
- Economic activity status
- Company address
- Website information
- Number of employees
- Group and ownership relationships
- Company directors
In collaboration with NextBI
To deliver the best company data, we partner with NextBI. As a leading provider of B2B data in the Netherlands, their robust data management ensures our corporate facts remain highly accurate and up-to-date.
Connecting the dots
How are companies connected? Shared directors and parent-subsidiary links allow us to build a vast network graph. This helps understanding complex corporate structures and connect risks between companies.
Beyond the Netherlands, our network graph also contains data on millions of European companies. It brings clarity to international business and foreign branches. This vast dataset strengthens our AI models, allowing us to link news and events to the right companies across Europe with greater accuracy.
Real-Time Media Monitoring
Understanding the risks and opportunities linked to a company requires real-time awareness. We process thousands of news articles daily to track significant company events and ESG controversies.
Our coverage spans across the Netherlands, monitoring national newspapers as well as regional and local news. Alerts from premium news are generated via an alliance agreement with LexisNexis providing us access to the Dutch news content from Mediahuis and DPG Media. Examples of this premium content include titles such as De Telegraaf, Brabants Dagblad, and Volkskrant.nl.
This mix of sources is essential because of company size. Large corporations regularly make national headlines, but tracking small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) requires a local focus. When a local supplier faces financial trouble or a regional business expands, the story often breaks first in local papers.
Covering both national and regional media ensures the right information is captured, whether assessing a major multinational or a small local business.
In alliance with LexisNexis
We can conduct media monitoring using premium Dutch newspaper data from DPG and Mediahuis, enabled through our alliance agreement with LexisNexis.
We transform the news to company insights and alert about the relevant risk signals and events for the companies in your monitoring list.
In partnership with Opoint
Opoint is a specialized technology company focusing on global media gathering. We partner with Opoint to capture the full digital footprint of Dutch enterprises.
Through their advanced web-scraping technology, we track thousands of smaller news sites, industry portals, and local web sources. This broad coverage is especially critical for monitoring SMEs, where early risk signals often appear first on niche websites.
