## Use Cases

Our company data is a powerful tool for segmentation and entity disambiguation. It can be used for a variety of use cases including.

### Revenue Operations

Company data is becoming increasingly relevant // important. As the tech world shifts towards a B2B focus ([which is a pretty clear trend](https://martech5000.com/about)) sales + marketing teams, investors, and legal teams are looking to understand companies better and better. A few key areas of interest have been de-duplicating accounts, creating metadata to help segment and score accounts, and text fields that help with tagging accounts to a use case or product.

### Audience Creation

Our customers are the audience providers who help their customers generate target audiences and often provide the additional service of creating marketing campaigns around our company and person data. Some help facilitate email campaigns, some help upload the audiences to add platforms like google ads and social media sites. Most are using our company data in conjunction with our [Person Data](https://docs.peopledatalabs.com/docs/fields)

### Machine Learning

Use PDL's historic company headcount changes, retention, and tenure to project future headcount growth, industry employment rates, and more. Companies use PDL data for forecasting the future of the labor market, individual company operating expenses, and company headcount strategy.

### Competitive Due Dilligence

Many companies use our [paid dataset](https://us-west-2.console.aws.amazon.com/dataexchange/home#/products/prodview-umlejmirylpew) for finding similar companies for competitive analysis. This could be both an internal use case (looking for up-and-coming competitors) and when doing due dilligence as part of an investment process.
