Unlike any other data provider in this niche, the foundation of MNI’s company profile data continues to be built on real human research, fortified by MNI’s own proprietary technologies for data verification and quality control. This continues throughout the year, perpetually. Rest assured, MNI does not scrape the web, and thereby avoids all the outdated, inaccurate, unreliable data other companies sell.

Through a team of more than 80 incredibly dedicated data researchers, MNI methodically scours hundreds of sources (on-and-offline) to pinpoint industrial businesses, large and small. Each company is contacted multiple times annually to ensure its information remains up-to-date and complete. In total, more than two million pieces of mail are sent, one million phone calls are placed, and three million emails go out to engage with the listed companies and ensure the highest level of accuracy and completeness are built into the published profile.

Some data providers inflate their numbers by including agents, reps, copy shops, and companies no longer in business. Others sell lists that are incomplete and miss many smaller companies. Only MNI does the careful, thorough, and proactive research necessary to ensure that every qualified business is included and kept current.
