Some companies know they’re sitting on a pile of data, but don’t know if it’s a scrap-heap or a gold-mine. Others don’t even realise how much data that they have at their finger-tips, from their own systems (accounts, emails, CRM, websites, tills, inventory management, phone bills etc) or from other sources, including public reports, social media, industry newsletters, competitor advertising etc. Contact Trendlock to help discover how to tap into the value of the data that’s around you. The power of open-source programming will allow us to quickly drill down into the core of your data, and scrape across the surface of the web, to discover what valuable intelligence could be gained.

Knowing where the data lies is only the first step. Sometimes it’s buried deep within web-pages or social-media. Sometimes it’s in tables in the appendices to monthly or annual reports. Or it could be in a collection of different file-types that have come from legacy systems or various alternative platforms’ output forms. Whatever the challenge, the open-source language of R is the largest and fastest-growing tool-kit for accessing data in hard-to-get places. Contact Trendlock for expert help for all your data-mining needs, including web-scraping, document mining, table conversions, pdf extractions, graph-to-data, and more.
