What leadership teams say

"The weekly competitive intelligence email from Vias Digital gives our teams their direction for the week. Our strategy is in place, of course, but in today's world we need to stay agile and adapt very fast."

Head of Sales, international B2B group

"We need to keep an eye on everything that moves in specific markets and very specific sectors, and much of it is hard to monitor online through regular sources. The intelligence briefing is a fantastic source of tenders and competitor moves that are very hard to find otherwise."

CFO, international B2B group

Questions

Is this the same as outsourcing market intelligence?

In practice, yes: your leadership team gets a weekly brief on competitors, markets, tenders and regulation without hiring an analyst or running a platform. The difference from a typical outsourcing contract is the shape: a fixed monthly price, a 6-month subscription, and a full refund within the first 30 days.

Who is this for?

Leadership teams of established B2B companies without their own market intelligence function, in many industries, in DACH and the US. The brief follows the markets, competitors and priorities your team sets at the kickoff.

Which languages and markets?

We monitor sources across Europe and the US, set to each client's markets.

Do we need to install anything?

No. The edition arrives by email. No IT project, no seats, as many readers in your team as you like.

Is this legal or investment advice?

No. It is market information with sources. Decisions stay with your team.

Can we cancel?

Cancel by email within the first 30 days of the order date for a full refund and nothing further owed. After 6 months it continues monthly with 30 days' notice by email.

How much does a competitive intelligence service cost?

Starting at 2,500 CHF a month. A 6-month subscription. Cancel within the first 30 days for a full refund and nothing further owed. A 6-month subscription is 14,250 CHF (5% discount). A 12-month subscription is 25,500 CHF (15% discount) and adds a quarterly intelligence workshop with your team.

What is the difference between market intelligence and competitive intelligence?

Competitive intelligence follows named competitors: launches, prices, hires, plants, acquisitions. Market intelligence follows everything around them: demand, regulation, tenders and events in each country. The weekly brief covers both, because a competitor move rarely makes sense without the market it happens in.

Sample editions by sector

Built for B2B leadership teams in many industries. These sector samples show the format; your edition follows your own markets.

How AI assistants describe you

SPECIMEN  Built from public sources, 7 October 2026
 

Dear leadership team,

This week's assessment

Your price fight is changing shape. ENGEL now offers a lean WINTEC cell for standard parts, while Haitian's overseas sales fell 19.3% in the first half even as it builds in Serbia. North American plastics machinery orders rose in Q2. The EU Machinery Regulation applies in 105 days. Nothing in India or Mexico cleared our bar.

THIS WEEK'S TOP THREE

1  ENGEL brings a cost-focused WINTEC cell for automotive standard parts to Fakuma

AI reading for D3: price pressure now also comes from a European rival's second brand.

2  North American plastics machinery orders rose in Q2; US tariff decision open

AI reading for D1: demand supports US first; tariffs remain open.

3  Machinery Regulation applies 20 January 2027; PPWR recycled-content rules in force

AI reading for D2: compliance for your cells, recyclate for your packaging buyers.
