SEAIR and Tendata are two major platforms offering trade data services, but they differ significantly in terms of data coverage, features, update frequency, and other factors. This article will provide a detailed comparison of the strengths and features of these two platforms, focusing on data sources, service positioning, and functions, to help businesses choose the most suitable service for their needs.

1. Global Trade Data Coverage

· SEAIR: SEAIR primarily offers trade data for 30 countries, including those in the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Europe. It also covers import and export records for some countries, such as the United States and Southeast Asia, making it ideal for users focusing on Indian trade or doing business with Indian companies. SEAIR excels in providing detailed data on the Indian market, especially detailed importer/exporter information, product descriptions, prices, etc., which is highly valuable for businesses entering or expanding in the Indian market. Additionally, SEAIR has an advantage in the U.S. market, offering contact details for U.S. companies, making it easier for users to find partners.

· Tendata: Tendata provides trade data for over 230 countries and regions globally, covering major economies like China, the United States, the European Union, Southeast Asia, and South America. Its data sources are diverse, with a strong focus on trade data from countries like India, Indonesia, and Mexico. Tendata's global coverage makes it the preferred choice for businesses needing multi-country trade analysis and global market expansion, especially those seeking clients or precise global market intelligence.

2. Global Trade Data Sources and Update Frequency

· SEAIR: SEAIR's data primarily comes from India's customs and other public records from cooperating countries. The data is typically updated monthly or quarterly, meaning its real-time accuracy is somewhat limited. As such, it is more suited for long-term trend analysis. For users needing frequent updates and real-time insights, SEAIR may not be as timely.

· Tendata: Tendata's data sources are more diverse, including global customs, ports, logistics, and corporate credit channels. It has a higher update frequency, with some data (such as U.S. trade data) updated every 3-5 days, ensuring real-time accuracy. The real-time updates make Tendata especially suitable for users needing instant market insights, especially in rapidly changing market environments where precise and timely trade data is essential.

3. Data Dimensions and Features

· SEAIR: SEAIR provides relatively simple data, mainly focusing on customs bill of lading data, with 17 key fields such as importers/exporters, product descriptions, quantities, prices, transportation modes, etc. Its features are basic and primarily focused on trade record queries and basic analysis. If users only need to understand import/export trends for specific markets or products, SEAIR meets these needs.

· Tendata: Tendata offers more comprehensive data dimensions, integrating 92 fields beyond basic trade data. Some of the fields include:

(1) Importer/Exporter Information: Company names, contact details, addresses, etc., to help users understand the background of potential clients.

(2) Product Information: Including customs codes and product descriptions.

(3) Volume and Price Information: Detailed data on weight, price, quantities, etc., allowing users to perform in-depth trade behavior analysis.

(4) Container Information: Data on containers in transit to help logistics companies optimize supply chain management.

(5) Hazardous Goods Information: Ensures the trade process complies with safety and regulatory requirements.

(6) Logistics Information: Provides bill of lading numbers, discharge ports, origin and destination countries, etc., supporting supply chain optimization.

Tendata also offers smart search and AI-based recommendation features that quickly match potential clients and suppliers and predict trade trends. The richness of these features makes it ideal for companies needing deep market analysis, supply chain optimization, or competitor monitoring.

4. Localization and User Experience

· SEAIR: SEAIR primarily targets the Indian market, and its platform interface is mainly in English. While it can serve global users, non-English speakers may face language barriers. The user interface is relatively simple, and its features are basic, making it suitable for users with basic data analysis needs.

· Tendata: Tendata has a strong global presence, offering both Chinese and English interfaces and localized customer support to effectively serve Chinese-speaking users. While its system is more complex, it is also more intelligent, making it ideal for users needing deep analysis. For users requiring more precise and personalized service, Tendata's user experience is very friendly, helping users navigate vast amounts of data with ease.

Conclusion: How to Choose?

SEAIR is suitable for users with tight budgets and basic needs, while Tendata is more appropriate for medium to large enterprises requiring global multi-country data, in-depth analysis, and customized services. Users are advised to assess their target markets, data depth needs, and budget when making a decision. If needed, they can request trial data from both platforms for a practical comparison.
