“In today’s highly competitive and efficient deal market, udu’s sourcing support provided the edge required to identify and, ultimately, acquire a highly attractive tuck-in business.”
“udu has been a game changer for our work with Private Equity investors. Our outreach to potential sellers is fueled by curated lists enabling us to identify highly relevant targets…The onboarding process was easy, and they were always available to answer questions or refine our research plans.”
“udu is a great tool that we use to identify market fragmentation as we are evaluating new market sectors as well as identifying overlooked companies in mature industries. The tool is easy to use and the team are very responsive if you have questions or concerns over your search or output.”
“udu produced a list of leads that our team could not have identified, screened and catalogued in any reasonable amount of time…working in a parallel path using purchased lists, Charter Oak uncovered only 19 of the 95 names that udu turned up…”
“Today, firms are increasingly seeing the potential to utilize the latest technology by adopting services like udu to power their proprietary database and market monitoring capabilities.”
“The udu core platform has changed how we do business. What took months now takes hours, and what took hours takes seconds. We can do more, faster, with less. udu core is one of the reasons we have the largest and most accurate database of national rental listings.”
“We hold ourselves to a high standard in personalizing users’ experiences on our platform. The ease, flexibility. and thoroughness of data that the udu platform is able to achieve has helped us improve our user experience tremendously; the result has been happier customers.”
