Panjiva operates as an intelligence platform focused on enhancing transparency in global trade through a suite of advanced data analytics and visualization tools. The core offerings include comprehensive access to shipment data, allowing users to track import and export activities, identify potential business partners, and monitor competitors. This is achieved via powerful machine-learning technologies that analyze over 2 billion shipment records associated with 9 million companies worldwide. The platform caters to a diverse clientele, including manufacturers, logistics providers, and traders, who utilize the insights to make informed decisions in supply chain management.

Panjiva’s services are designed to serve markets globally, with a particular emphasis on North America, Europe, and Asia, facilitating a broad understanding of trade dynamics across these regions. Panjiva generates revenue primarily through subscription-based models, where clients gain access to its comprehensive database and analytical tools tailored to their specific trade needs. The structure of transactions typically involves annual subscriptions, allowing B2B clients, such as importers and exporters, to obtain actionable insights into global trade activities. Additionally, the platform offers services like Xpressfeed™, which integrates leads directly into clients' CRM systems, further enhancing its value proposition.

Specific pricing details for these subscription plans have not been disclosed, but they are designed to accommodate various business sizes and needs, ensuring that users can effectively leverage Panjiva's offerings for optimal supply chain performance. Panjiva's future growth strategy includes the potential development of new products aimed at enhancing data integration and analytics capabilities. The company is exploring opportunities to expand into additional markets in Asia and Europe by 2015. The recent funding raised in May 2012 will support these initiatives and enable Panjiva to enhance its technology platform to better serve its clients.
