Case Study: MarketWatch achieves automated monitoring of 1,100+ companies’ business updates and patent summaries with Contify’s Market Intelligence Platform

How Contify’s Market Intelligence platform helped automate tracking of unique business updates and patent filings of over 1100 companies

MarketWatch, a UK‑based market research firm serving energy clients, faced a labor‑ and cost‑intensive challenge: manually monitoring business updates and patent filings for over 1,100 companies. They engaged Contify to automate this monitoring using Contify’s Market Intelligence Platform so their analysts could focus on higher‑value strategy and recommendations.

Contify configured the Market Intelligence Platform to source company websites and integrate the EPO’s API for patent filings, built custom scrapers for dynamic site sections, applied text‑mining filters to remove irrelevant content, and generated headlines and summaries for easy consumption. The solution automated tracking of 1,000+ companies, eliminated missed updates, reduced manual effort and costs, and enabled faster, more focused analysis — a capability MarketWatch has relied on successfully for seven years.
