To set up a search with Explore Lite, just follow these steps:
1) Click the Explore Lite logo.
2) Enter the country you want to explore. This is the only mandatory parameter to start a search. By doing so, you will find all the companies in that country registered within our database.
All other parameters are optional, but we recommend you to use them to refine your search and get more accurate results. The parameters are:
- Territorial area (e.g. California, Lombardy, Saxony etc.)
- City
- Postcode
- Main activity (Manufacturing, Wholesale, Retail e Service activities)
- Operating revenue
- Categories
- Consolidation codes
- Status
- Stages to include (read this article to discover how to use Stages)
- Industry codes, with the possibility to select Primary and secondary codes
The industry codes you can choose from are NAICS,NACE, SIC, and nation-specific industry codes. If you are not familiar with these codes, read our article to find out what they are. You can select the codes from the list available or search for them by entering their digits or the words of their descriptions.
The distinction between primary and secondary codes is due to the fact that a company might carry out several economic activities. In this case, it might have assigned a primary code related to the activity that contributes the largest percentage to the value added of its production unit. In addition to this, it might have secondary codes associated with it. By checking both options, Matchplat Explore will identify companies registered in our database with both the primary and secondary codes you selected.
