Following a successful test phase, the new Infocube portal is now live, with full functionality. Infocube offers high-quality business information combined with maximum autonomy in use. In particular, it provides support so that SMEs can quickly and efficiently recognise risks, exploit potential and increase transparency in their dealings with customers and suppliers.
The Infocube price model is based on fixed-price subscriptions oriented to usage. The range of options is geared towards the individual needs and requirements of the user.
Since 1 March 2011 the SOGC newspaper is delivered almost 24 hours later. In order that customers receive as usual up-to-date SOGC notifications on time, OFWI has taken up the corresponding measure with the early processing. OFWI is the only business information provider that offers the most important business cases already at 08.00 hours.

As part of our partnership with “swiss export”, 5,000 members and customers of the association were given the opportunity to win a tandem jump with a video record worth CHF 510. We drew 3 winners from all those who entered. Many congratulations to those who won – we wish them an unforgettable experience.
To all those who participated but didn’t win this time, we wish the best of luck for the next time around.
Growing levels of competition and battles over pricing put businesses under added stress. Innovative strength and personal commitment are more important than ever in the acquisition of new markets. The motto for the 2010 Swiss Export Day is therefore to «Create Global Visions». Figures such as Ernesto Bertarelli, businessman and President of the Alinghi Team, Anne M. Schüller, author and expert in loyalty marketing, and Yves Serra, CEO of Georg Fischer AG, will present and discuss new ways of developing markets.
OFWI and Kompass are long term partners to Swiss Export and act as main sponsors in support of the Swiss Export Day. We would be pleased to meet you in person in the Stahlgiesserei in Schaffhausen on 1 June. Take advantage of this opportunity to question our specialist staff in detail.
As a result of customer feedback, we will provide the geographical environment analysis of the inhabited property in a revised form.
Various environmental data can be depicted in an orthophoto, and analysed graphically. This will provide you with an idea of the environment around an individual so that this additional information can be included in your evaluation.
This extension to the personal information on Teledata Standard is provided free of charge.
As a preferred SMC (Swiss Marketing) association partner, Kompass is once again taking part in this year’s Seeländer Marketing Event. The motto for this year is “Anything but Ordinary”.
Mediocrity is a sheer waste of time, according to Anja Förster and Peter Kreuz, authors of the bestselling book “Anything but Ordinary”. Things can be done differently in business, management and society. We need something radical, because anyone who fails to develop exceptional skills today will be competing against 1.3 billion people from China tomorrow.
Kompass uniquely carries out world-wide company and product searches in more than 60 countries and 26 languages, and therefore fits brilliantly into this concept. Our presence as a sponsoring partner at this unusual event is therefore an absolute “must” as far as we are concerned. Drop in to see us in Biel on April 29, and join us in unearthing the hidden examples of mediocrity.
An increasing number of companies are taking advantage of car leasing schemes. However, the number of fraudsters is also growing at the same time. The greatest challenge facing the leasing companies is to recognise these people in good time.
The major Swiss leasing businesses have joined forces with Teledata to design and implement a solution to prevent fraud. This project was celebrated at the 80th international motor show in Geneva 2010.
This solution is based on an alarm and notification system. The alarm system checks new applications and will recognise if any contracts already exist (or are pending) between the relevant company and other leasing businesses. Financiers register any negative experiences with customers in the notification system, which provides important advice for the leasing partner.
15.02.2010 - A new look for Kompass
The Kompass website has a fresh new design, impressing its visitors with its innovative functions and extended application options.
The new platform offers greater transparency for search functions and a significantly higher hit rate.
The Kompass RFQ (Request for Quotation) offers a new form of request for quotation. Requests for quotation can be sent free of charge to any number of companies world-wide with just one click of the mouse. This enables purchasers to benefit from an efficient online tool while advertisers increase their return on investment.
Also new: you’ll no longer need a separate login to request an enquiry. Suitable providers can be selected and approached directly from the search stage.
