Inside the ZoomInfo platform, we carefully curate actionable insights sourced through web crawlers, automated surveys, and our in-house research team. ZoomInfo builds these valuable data points, which we call Scoops, to help you hit your number.
Scoops can be filtered by company size, date, location, and business type to make sure you’re seeing the most important and applicable updates.
Under the umbrella of Scoops data, you’ll find:
- Financial news, like mergers and acquisitions or funding announcements
- General business happenings, like awards, events, partnerships, and expansions
- Opportunity Scoops, like projects and company pain points
- Personnel updates, like new hires, layoffs, and open positions
