Exiger, a leading provider of supply chain management SaaS solutions, needed to substantially expand news data coverage for DDIQ, its AI-powered supply-chain risk management and due diligence platform. DDIQ requires massive amounts of diverse, relevant, and timely data, including news data, to deliver accurate risk assessments and user insights.

To obtain news data at scale, the Exiger team had to make a choice: build a highly scalable web scraping solution in-house or buy one from a third party. They chose the latter, partnering with Webz.io, a web data provider with expertise in collecting, processing, structuring, and enriching news data from sources across the open web.

The Webz.io News API allows DDIQ to cover 120K+ news websites, gaining the news data coverage it needs to cast a bright light on all the relevant threats users should focus on.

Exiger is revolutionizing the way corporations, government agencies and banks navigate risk and compliance in their third-parties, supply chains and customers through its software and tech-enabled solutions. Exiger’s mission is to make the world a safer and more transparent place to succeed. Emboldening over 550 customers across the globe, including 150 in the Fortune 500 and over 50 government agencies, with award-winning AI technology, Exiger leads the way in ESG, cyber, financial crime, third-party and supply chain management.
