A tool at the centre of the business intelligence system

Monitoring the Web manually is too time-consuming

  • Controlling strategic information has become an essential issue: when a new product is launched, when a patent is published, when invitations to tender or new regulations are issued.
  • The information we need is increasingly accessible on the Internet. Moreover, it can be distributed at once (blogs, RSS feeds, chat rooms, etc.) and processed more easily using computer tools.
  • Tracking the Web manually is time-consuming and adds little value. For instance, Internet users are estimated to return to the same sites 8 times out of 10 every day. This task can be fully automated thanks to KB Crawl.

With KB Crawl, switch Web monitoring to automatic pilot

KB Crawl is part of a more general, methodical approach to monitoring, at the centre of which is the monitoring user, who :


  • Monitors identified sources according to monitoring strategy
  • Detects and reports any new features according to predefined criteria (all types of change, newly appeared keywords or applying specific queries, etc.)
  • Filters alerts to assess their relevance
  • Distributes intelligence reports according to each profile
  • Stores and archives the results.

Extend your monitoring scope to include both the visible and invisible Web

  • KB Crawl allows you to monitor the visible Web automatically by crawling all the links on every site.
  • Given that 90% of data available is on the invisible Web (on-line databases, sites requiring authentication, search forms, etc.), KB Crawl allows you to monitor both the visible and the invisible Web.
