The Challenge:
For Oaklins Netherlands, delivering high-quality M&A advisory meant relying on fast, reliable access to private market information, but by using their existing data platforms, their information was scattered across multiple sources. This meant analysts spent a significant amount of time gathering and reconciling information, ultimately slowing down workflows and leaving less time for high-value, client-focused work.

“We wanted to alleviate juniors from repetitive tasks like finding financial information, ownership details, and similar data, or at least have one centralized place where all this information could be stored. Before, we had the information, but it was scattered across four or five different databases.” - Daaf Onijs, Associate (P1)

“We chose Gain.pro because of the extent of data available. It gives a great overview of European assets, including companies that aren’t available in other databases. At first, we thought it was just a simple database, but it offers much more — information that goes beyond pure financial data.” - Daaf Onijs (P1)

“We mainly use Gain.pro to quickly create buyer lists, target lists, or competitor lists to advise on mandates. The platform is also very useful for market reports as it helps us gather all the relevant companies active in a market. For example, instead of manually searching online for companies attending a certain conference, that information is already in Gain.pro, and we can extract it to include in our buyer lists.”

“Gain.pro gives us more time to focus on the difficult, value-creating work for clients. It allows us to think strategically and collaborate with clients, rather than just gathering information or building pitch decks. In that sense, it really sets us ahead of the competition. Having the information available means we can take on more mandates, we’re able to pitch more frequently and make better pitches.”
