At Protel Associates, we’ve been lucky enough to be helping businesses achieve their commercial goals for over 20 years with our Capex Project Reports.
Over that time, it’s become clear that successful suppliers of capital equipment and machinery need both real-time project intelligence and long-term market insight to grow effectively.
That’s why Protel offers two complementary solutions: Capex Project Reports and CapexData.
While both are built from the same trusted research, they serve different – but equally vital – purposes within your business development strategy. Since launching CapexData, we’ve often been asked how our main sources of business intelligence differ.
Here’s how they compare:
| Feature / Use Case | MyProtel – Capex Project Reports | CapexData Analytics Portal |
| Primary Purpose | Help sales teams identify, approach, and win new project opportunities. | Help commercial and leadership teams analyse long-term market trends and growth areas. |
| Focus | Individual projects in active development. | Aggregated data, analysis and forecasting across multiple sectors and regions. |
| Key Contents | Project scope, investment value, schedule dates, and verified decision-maker contacts. | Charts, heatmaps, and trends across years of meticulous project data. |
| Ideal For | Sales, marketing, business development teams targeting near-term opportunities. | Senior management, strategy, and marketing teams planning future focus areas. |
| Timeframe | Short to medium term – opportunities to pursue now. | Medium to long term – where to invest and prioritise next. |
| Outputs | Detailed project reports for direct outreach, live project database. | Sector and regional dashboards for presentations and board-level reporting. |
| How It Helps | Ensures your team speaks to the right people at the right stage of the project. | Ensures your organisation focuses effort on the right markets for sustained growth. |
| Typical Use Case | “Which live projects should we contact this quarter?” | “Which sectors and regions should we prioritise for the next 12–24 months?” |
How They Work Together
Together, Capex Project Reports and CapexData give suppliers of capital equipment a complete picture of the market:
