Ask SNOOPER Which of these need a partner in Norway before the deadline?
The whole market, read for you.
Defense opportunities surface in many places at once: a tender on a national portal, a line in a budget, a minister's remark in a trade paper, a partner's press release. Most teams see them late, or not at all.
SNOOPER reads those places continuously, in many languages, and turns what it finds into a short list of opportunities that fit what you sell, each one traceable to its sources.
How SNOOPER works
Watch
Official procurement portals, government budgets, defense media and company news, read worldwide and in their original languages.
Verify
Every claim in a finding is checked against the source that is supposed to state it. What cannot be confirmed is marked, not smoothed over.
Score
Each tender, RFI and programme is matched to your products and markets, so the ones that fit rise to the top.
Track
Deadlines, programme milestones and changes are followed for you, with e-mail alerts when something moves.
Brief
Findings become briefings, decks and reports your team can take straight into a meeting.
Nothing reaches you unchecked.
Software finds the signal; people decide what it means. Defense Beacon analysts review findings before they appear in your workspace, so what you read has already been weighed by someone who knows the market.
You see only what concerns your company, and every record keeps a trail back to the documents it came from.
What you get when you sign in
One workspace for your whole team, with the evidence behind every record.
