Imagine you’re buying a shirt from your favourite e-commerce brand. It’s highly likely that, in order to set the most attractive price for that particular shirt, the brand has used Luminati’s data collection platform. It’s the same for when you’re booking a flight or hotel room through an online travel site; chances are the prices being displayed have been determined by profound market research the travel site has conducted through Luminati’s extensive network.

Founded in 2014, Luminati Networks is the world’s leading data collection platform dedicated to helping businesses gather openly available online data in an ethical manner. Working with over 10,000 customers including market-leaders from the Fortune 500, Luminati provides brands with a transparent view of the internet, no matter where they are based in the world.

The company’s first-of-its-kind enterprise focused platform enables global businesses to openly view the internet just as their consumers do worldwide.

By scouring the web through the eyes of the consumer, organizations can collect data at scale and gain a real and accurate perspective of how their customers and prospective customers are interacting with their brand and with their competitors – without being blocked or deliberately served misleading information. This means organizations can make better, more informed decisions based on real-time competitive data.
