Users of Europe’s leading supplier search engine can now actively contribute their knowledge about changed company data by using the function “Change company entry”. With this, they can help other users as well.

With this new functionality, “Wer liefert was?” is the first supplier in a B2B environment to implement an innovative crowdsourcing technology. It supports users to actively contribute their personal knowledge about changed company information – like a new contact person or an updated postal address. After “Wer liefert was?” has thoroughly checked the changes for plausibility and data quality, they will be immediately published online. This way, all people using “Wer liefert was?” for a commercial search benefit from up-to-date company entries in the database.

‘Wer liefert was?’ is a unit of Bisnode Business Information Group
