ORBIS is a comprehensive, global database that contains company information on more than 580 million companies (inclusive Amadeus database) in a standardised format. It includes e.g. address and contact data but also financial strength indicators and ownership data.
The Orbis Web Access allows you to use the database through the proprietary web platform. This access is particularly recommended for doing basic research and moderate data downloading of financial data or ownership data. You can either search for additional ratios or create your own. The module for analysis offers segmentation, peer-analysis and several statistical computation methods.
Orbis Web Access has a download cap of 1 million cells per export. If possible, split your export in smaller packages per download, then the Orbis Web Access is sufficient. If your data requirements ask for a higher number per export, please apply for an Orbis DataHub Access.
Orbis Web Access is provided by the following link: Orbis Web Interface
