How can I compare the import/export activities of similar companies?

To compare the import/export activities of companies, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the Lighthouse feature within your ImportGenius console and select a criterion from the filter dropdown (e.g., importer or consignee). Enter the company names you want to view. You can search for multiple companies, including your own for benchmarking. Click search. 

  2. ImportGenius will generate a list of their shipments within the selected date range.

  3. Download the results to perform a detailed comparison using your existing systems.

  4. Alternatively, visit the Analytics tab and select fields for comparison (e.g., importer and shipments).

  5. Use the analytics tool to generate instant comparisons through various graph formats.

Instead of navigating towards the Lighthouse, you may also go to either the US Data or Non-US Data tab. From there, you may again choose the criteria from the dropdown and enter the keyword to search.
