Dataset card

Type: not stated
Format: Tabular — shipment-line BOL microdata plus country-commodity statistics, delivered through an online research platform with Excel and PDF report output, global rankings, buy/sell-side views and advanced query, with enterprise BI integration supported
Volume: Stated breadth: 230 markets across 5 continents, 50+ countries at international transactional depth, plus full US master and house BOL microdata on a roughly 24-hour cycle from CBP receipt — implying millions of US consignment lines annually above the international layer
Users: Enterprise subscription seats in the tens of thousands across the parent platform's base; no Datamyne-specific seat count published
History: not stated
Update frequency: not stated
Growth: Mature and consolidating — Datamyne was acquired into the Descartes suite (the vendor keeps a dedicated acquisitions page for it) and now sits inside a broader Global Trade Content portfolio alongside compliance and export-filing products; the reviewed product sheet carries a 2017 copyright, so specification currency needs re-verification
Launched: Predecessor trade-data firm established in 1988 (among the longest-running private trade-statistics houses); acquired into the Descartes suite in 2016, and the reviewed product sheet is copyrighted 2017, consistent with post-acquisition packaging
