Digius' Data Engine

    One tender is a document. Thousands of tenders are a market.

    Digius doesn't just display tenders. We continuously capture fragmented procurement and company data, clean, version and link entities, calculate historical correlations and turn raw data into market intelligence.

    Starting Point

    Open data is the beginning, not the end product.

    Procurement notices are public, but scattered across different registers, formats and languages. A single notice doesn't tell you who is winning in the market, how prices are developing or what will happen next. Value is only created when data is standardized, linked and traceable over time.

    Sources

    Data comes from a source.

    We do not generate procurement data ourselves. We use public sources and provide a reference to the origin for every value.

    Processing

    From raw data to analysis.

    01

    Collection

    Sources are continuously monitored. New notices, amendments and documents are read in immediately upon publication.

    02

    Versioning

    Every change to a notice is saved as a separate version. Nothing is overwritten — the history is preserved.

    03

    Normalization

    Different formats, languages and classifiers are standardized: CPV, NUTS, currency, dates.

    04

    Resolution

    The same company is recognized as a single entity despite different spellings and sources.

    05

    Enrichment

    Data records are supplemented with commercial register information, previous tenders and document content.

    06

    Calculation

    Market shares, award rates, price levels and buyer behavior patterns are calculated from the relationships.

    Relationship Graph

    A tender does not exist in a vacuum.

    Every tender is linked to a buyer, bidders, contract, industry, region and documents. It is precisely these relationships that make it possible to see the market — not just individual data records.

    Infrastructure

    Data processing that never sleeps.

    Digius' data processing runs on distributed infrastructure, where parallel collection, normalization, enrichment and analysis processes continuously process procurement market data. Dozens of parallel processing tasks control, link and calculate data independently of each other.

    Automation and AI

    Automation makes the volume possible. Rules keep the data controllable.

    Rules

    Deterministic Processing

    Classifiers, codes, sums, dates and weightings are processed based on rules. The result is controllable and reproducible.

    AI

    AI and Semantic Analysis

    AI helps to read free text and documents where rules are not sufficient. The result must always be derivable from the source text and undergoes the same controls.

    Data Quality

    Every number must be traceable back to the source.

    01

    Origin

    Every value refers back to the source and notice from which it originates.

    02

    Versions

    It is traceable what changed and when — even after a correction.

    03

    Quality Control

    Automated tests check codes, weightings, sums and mandatory fields.

    04

    Reproducibility

    The same input yields the same result. Calculations are repeatable.

    Normalization

    Fragments become a data row.

    Philosophy

    We don't want to be just another procurement portal.

    The portal shows a data record.

    One notice, one page.

    The search finds a tender.

    If you know what you are looking for.

    Data shows what happened.

    And what is likely to happen next.

    Ask the procurement market a question.

    Who is winning in your segment? Which buyers are purchasing repeatedly? Where is the market heading? The answer is in the data.
