What is ATIM?

ATIM (Aggregated Trade Intelligence Model) provides the trade intelligence capability within a Digital Business Community. It combines and analyses multiple data sources to generate structured market intelligence and actionable trade insights.


What data sources can ATIM use?

ATIM can integrate multiple categories of data, including international trade statistics, structured visibility signals, and payment flow intelligence where available.


How are data from different sources combined?

ATIM uses a structured methodology to align data from multiple sources without combining the underlying datasets. This enables unified trade intelligence while respecting data ownership and governance requirements.


Does ATIM require bank transaction data?

No. While payment flow intelligence can enhance analytical precision, ATIM is designed to operate using publicly available trade data and structured visibility signals.


What type of trade intelligence can ATIM generate?

ATIM can generate aggregated and anonymised intelligence including international search interest, sector-level demand signals, market engagement patterns and cross-market trends.


How does ATIM generate trade intelligence?

ATIM combines aggregated engagement data generated through Digital Business Communities, Multilingual Microsites and other approved data sources.

The resulting intelligence is anonymised and analysed to identify emerging demand, prioritise markets and support evidence-based business development.


Does ATIM require a Digital Business Community?

No. ATIM can support a range of trade intelligence activities using available data sources. However, Digital Business Communities provide an additional source of structured engagement data that can significantly enhance market intelligence over time.


Is ATIM available during the Foundation Phase?

Yes. The scope of ATIM is determined during the Discovery Workshop and may range from basic trade reporting through to more advanced intelligence capabilities as the Digital Business Community develops.
