where duke excels

6x more data sources with deeper national coverage

Duke integrates 300+ procurement portals compared to roughly 50 in Hermix. That difference is not just volume. It means Duke captures below-threshold contracts from 14 German state portals, 18 French national sources, Dutch TenderNed, Norwegian Doffin, Finnish Hilma, and Baltic platforms. Opportunities that only appear on these sub-national portals are invisible on TED-centric platforms.

graph-based cross-source entity resolution

Duke's graph database automatically merges buyer and supplier records that appear across multiple portals. When a German Bundesland publishes a contract on both eVergabe and TED, Duke resolves them into a single entity with complete history. This eliminates the fragmentation that makes tender analysis unreliable on platforms working from disconnected data sources.

historical depth for trend analysis

With 61M+ procedures accumulated over years of ingestion, Duke provides the historical depth needed for meaningful trend analysis, supplier benchmarking, and market sizing. Hermix, as a newer platform, is still building its historical dataset. For procurement teams making strategic decisions, the difference in analytical foundation matters.

best for

companies needing deep below-threshold coverage

The difference is especially stark in markets like Germany where 14 state portals publish locally.

teams wanting AI-first pipeline management

If your primary need is AI-driven opportunity matching and a clean pipeline management workflow for EU tenders, and you are comfortable working with a newer, growing dataset, Hermix has built an intuitive product around that use case.

strategic analysts and market intelligence teams

For teams performing market sizing, competitive landscape analysis, or procurement trend research across European markets, Duke's 61M+ historical procedures and cross-source graph provide the analytical depth that newer datasets cannot yet match.
