Information
is intelligence
Business Online Public Company Limited (BOL) is the
country’s first and only total business information
solution provider.
Established in 1995 as part of the Advanced Research Group
of Companies, BOL offers consumers, businesses and the
public sector information, credibility checks and business
analyses
on 600,000 or so companies registered with the Department
of Commercial Registration, Ministry of Commerce. Apart
from providing a comprehensive database for every single
registered company in the country, BOL is also able to
acquire database access for clients to 80 million companies
in 214
countries worldwide – made possible by a joint venture
with the 160 year-old Dunne and Bradstreet International
Inc.
(D&B) in 1998. BOL’s capabilities have expanded enormously
through such joint-ventures, enabling thorough analysis
of registered organisations not only in Thailand, but
also around the world.
Credit Service (CS)
Monitoring a company’s credibility is crucial
for making accurate and risk-free assessments. BOL offers
both online and offline credibility checks on companies
not
just in Thailand, but also across the world.
• BINGO: A comprehensive collection
of information on every company registered in Thailand.
Members can access
the database online through a powerful search engine
and obtain everything from the most basic data, such
as company
name and address, to highly sophisticated information,
such as financial status, industrial and marketing analysis,
payment index and portfolio analysis for each and every
company in the country. There is even a news alert service,
called NOL (News Online). This provides up-to-the-minute
information from news headlines on requested companies.
• COL (Court Online): Provides data on dissolved, defunct
and bankrupt firms, which can be incorporated into the
BINGO service.
• DB Thai: Similar to BINGO, DB Thai is a service that
provides information on every aspect of every company
in the country, the difference being that members only
pay for the information they request.
• BIR (Business Information Report): The
joint venture has enabled BOL to gain access to D&B’s most popular
risk-management product, BIR. Delivered in either an interactive
or paper report format, BIR gives an in-depth breakdown
on risk levels of both Thailand and overseas companies.
D&B’s renowned proprietary Rating and PAYDEX Score
is also included in the report, thereby giving users
an even more thorough analysis.
Business Marketing Service (BMS)
Finding the right target to market one’s product can be
a daunting task. Hours of research can sometimes prove
fruitless. But with BMS, all the information to access
the exact target, both locally and internationally,
is provided in a ready-to-use format.
BMS categorises companies according to the North American
Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) and offers
the following services:
• Label Service: company names, addresses and contact
persons
• Telemarketing List: company names, addresses, telephone
numbers and contact persons
• Prospect Card: company names, addresses, telephone numbers,
contact persons, sales turnover, employee head count and
type of business activities
Receivable Management Service (RMS)
BOL provides a wide range of collection services to help
customers recover money. From chasing overdue debts
and slow payments to issuing legal letters and taking
cases to court, BOL can effectively improve cash flow
and increase profitability.
