Case Study: Generating legal leads from Government data

Each week, the Minnesota state department emails ‘Judgement Abstract Report’ PDFs to local law firms. One such firm, Heller & Thyen, realised the potential in collecting this data and using it to target customers in need of their services.

The PDFs have a regular layout, but are not conventionally machine readable. ScraperWiki data scientists wrote automatically scheduled scripts that carefully extract each report as it comes in, clean the data, and save it into a structured database for re-use. From here, for the lawyers, it is a single click operation to get the data for other purposes such as mailmerge.

The data provides access to a new pipeline of clients, is refreshed weekly, and can be easily re-purposed.

We have been using ScraperWiki for several years, and the service has been tremendous. ScraperWiki very quickly takes the raw data and presents it back to us in usable form, saving us a huge amount of time and money.

Even better than the technical process is the service. The turnaround for our data is extremely fast and any problems with our datasets are rapidly fixed.

Case Study: Supplier Landscape for a major Fast Moving Consumer Goods company

A FTSE 100 FMCG company approached us to do some research on a new product area. They were interested in understanding the supplier landscape for a personal grooming device. To achieve this we extracted data from the alibaba.com website. Alibaba.com is a large marketplace for manufacturers based in China. It’s a bit like Amazon but with an emphasis on business to business sales rather than business to consumer.

Alibaba.com provides a traditional search interface but this does not allow for ad hoc analysis of the products and manufacturers that searches return. We brought the search results for the product of interest onto our platform as a SQL database. This allowed us to carry out flexible queries using SQL, to visualise the locations of manufacturers on a map and to do text analysis of product features.

The data and analysis we provided allowed our client to understand the range of products being supplied in their area of interest, to identify their key features, and to produce a short list of manufacturers to approach to partner with for a new product launch.
