Questions and answers

Dantive is competitive intelligence for the US pesticide market. It reads the whole EPA register at once, every active product, distributor label and registrant, and lets you ask questions about it in plain English, browse it, compare companies and get alerts when something changes.

From public records published by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Dantive picks up new and changed records every day. It does not use private or paid data sources, and it does not need your company's own data.

New registrations, label changes, distributor labels and changes of owner are picked up daily. Alerts can be sent daily or weekly.

Only products whose registration is currently active. Cancelled and inactive products are left out of every count, list and comparison. A product counts once, however many label versions it has had. Distributor labels are counted separately because they are sold under another brand but rest on someone else's registration.

Yes. About 38,000 active distributor labels are traced back to the product they are based on, so a private label does not hide who actually makes the product. This is what makes the distributor switch analysis possible.

Yes. Your IT team adds Dantive to the assistant once, like any other business connector. After that people can ask any question about the register from inside the assistant, including head-to-head comparisons and distributor analyses. Each user has personal access that can be revoked at any time.

The web app adds the Data Browser, where you explore the market without writing a question, and drill-down into any company or product with its full registration details. Answers can also be exported to CSV or Excel.

Counts and lists come from queries on the registration records themselves, and answers point back to those records. Where EPA's own record is incomplete, for example pest and site coding for some recent products, we say so. Dantive is decision support, so check anything important against the official record before you rely on it.
