    A company landscape helps you see the market before picking a list or defining a niche. CNPJ Data's Intelligence page organizes indicators derived from public data from the Receita Federal (Brazil's Federal Revenue Service) to support that analysis.

    A landscape is not a lead list

    The landscape is there to help you understand geographic distribution, sectors, company openings and closures, and other market dimensions. It's an analysis step, not a ready-made file for a sales campaign.

    When you need to quantify a specific combination of filters, use Detailed Search. When you need to download companies, use Search.

    Three questions for interpreting the data

    Where is the market?

    Compare regions and states to understand where economic activity is most concentrated.

    Which sectors stand out?

    Look at the dominant sectors before defining your priority CNAE and your sales messaging.

    What's the time frame?

    Take the reference month and the database update cycle into account. Historical indicators should not be treated as a real-time snapshot.

    How to turn the landscape into action

    1. Pick a region or sector worth investigating.
    2. Use Detailed Search to measure the niche with specific filters.
    3. Look in Search for a file that matches the segment you validated.
    4. Define your sales approach, prioritization criteria, and how the list will be kept up to date.
