Panjiva

What do you like best?

Filtering capacity , multi-dimensional reports , Full visibility on BL Scope for US And Some AWBL available from some country sharing their databases with Panjiva.

Price is extremelly competitive for large corporations and company profiles are enriched with S&P information.

Once tool is in hand and users are trained it works smartely and enable Dashboard creation showing what you want to show.

Analytics embedded well designed and bi-directional company profiles (import/Export) are well desgined and give what Sales people really need when engaging with a prospect.

Training and support are well done and gives minimum skills to start using Panjiva.

What do you dislike?

Panjiva does not have ALL Country shipments datas; This is probably due to GDPR Constraints (in Europe) as well as other local Data Privacy proctection rules. A lot more lobbying to access to DBs would be appreciated.

When it comes to easiness to use , Panjiva does better than competition (cf. Datamyne) thanks to its interface but end-users really need to get trained and use it regularly to keep skills.

Would have appreciate capacity to include more than 4 dimension to reports enabling to aggregate more datas at shipment level to then be able to do better analytics (on Power BI/Excel).

Would appreciate capacity to link with CRM (integration with MS Dynamics)in order to populate CRM with Shipment profiles directly into Accounts created in the CRM system.
