Background
A leading sustainability data provider monitors over 6,000 listed companies by extracting 280+ ESG and sustainability metrics from public disclosures. But their in-house approach faced a major hurdle:
Data lag: Tracking the publication of new reports by the companies took ~90 days before the data appeared in the platform.
Discovery gaps: Manual checks and statistical algorithms often missed documents or introduced delays.
Scalability issues: Monitoring thousands of companies across diverse formats and geographies strained resources.
The result: The platform lacked differentiation versus the competitors and was investing significant resources in a slow research process. It was critical to speed up this data collection, so the company looked for an external partner.
Solution
To overcome these challenges, a partnership with Glass.AI introduced automated document discovery and tracking.
Core elements of the solution:
Flexible machine language understanding technology to replace brittle web scrapers.
Continuous monitoring of 6,000+ companies across their changing websites and ecosystems.
Seamless integration into the platform’s human-in-the-loop extraction workflows.
Configurable company lists, feedback loops to fine-tune the model, and potential API/dashboard options for analysts.
“Glass.AI didn’t just find documents faster; they helped us beat Bloomberg and MSCI with quicker updates.”
Impact
The results were transformative:
80% faster updates: Average delay reduced from 90 days to 9–10 days.
Scalable automation: Future-ready infrastructure, capable of scaling to 100,000+ targets.
Financial benefits: $1M in estimated annual value from reduced costs and avoided risks.
Trust and transparency: Audit logs, restatement tracking, and source traceability boosted client confidence.
Revenue growth: Fresher data increased sales conversion and enabled expansion into new domains such as tracking “use of proceeds” bond filings.
“There are tools that scrape web pages. Glass.AI understands context. That’s the difference.”
