Panjiva

Panjiva, a platform by S&P Global, is a comprehensive global trade intelligence solution that aggregates and analyzes international import and export data to help businesses make smarter, data-driven decisions. At its core, the platform provides access to an extensive database of shipment records, supplier profiles, buyer histories, and trade transactions sourced from customs data across key markets in the Americas, Asia, and beyond, enabling users to search by product, company, or HS code to uncover actionable insights. Panjiva excels at supporting supplier research and evaluation by surfacing detailed information on manufacturing capabilities, shipping volumes, and historical trading relationships, while its trade intelligence tools allow users to monitor competitor sourcing strategies, track emerging market trends, and receive customizable alerts for real-time supply chain visibility. The platform is particularly well-suited for mid-market and enterprise companies operating in logistics, wholesale, international trade, and supply chain management, as well as professionals in roles such as sourcing specialists, market researchers, export project managers, and business development teams working across global markets. Key use cases include identifying and qualifying new international buyers or suppliers, conducting competitive market analysis, streamlining lead generation for cross-border sales, and improving supply chain transparency to reduce risk and operational delays. While users consistently praise the depth of its data and intuitive interface, some note limitations in contact information completeness and geographic coverage, particularly for European markets subject to GDPR constraints.
