Stotles stops at the UK and Ireland border. Duke covers 25+ countries with dedicated integrations into national portals across Germany, France, the Netherlands, Norway, Finland, the Baltics, and beyond. If your sales strategy includes any market outside the UK, Duke is the only platform that gives you a single unified view.

cross-source entity resolution

Duke's graph database merges buyer and supplier records across 300+ portals, resolving duplicates and revealing relationships that siloed datasets miss. When the same buyer appears on TED, a German state portal, and a municipal platform, Duke connects them into a single profile with full award history.

40x more procurement data

With 61M+ procedures compared to 1.4M+ in Stotles, Duke provides dramatically broader historical context. This depth powers better trend analysis, supplier benchmarking, and opportunity forecasting across markets rather than within a single country.
