🔄 The data freshness problem
20–30% of B2B contacts change roles every year — on a 10,000-contact CRM, that's 2,000–3,000 people no longer reachable at the same position annually.[1] Owler is optimized for Competitive intelligence and company news monitoring rather than continuous CRM data freshness.
Enrich-CRM performs live lookups on every request — a proprietary LLM queries current public sources on EU servers, extracts data in memory, and returns what's true today. Plus continuous job change monitoring keeps your CRM updated automatically between enrichment runs.

⚙️ How Enrich-CRM works — vs Owler's approach
Owler is built for competitive intelligence and company news monitoring. Enrich-CRM focuses specifically on keeping your existing CRM contacts accurate over time.
You send identifiers you already own (email, LinkedIn URL, domain, company name…). A proprietary LLM — not OpenAI, not Anthropic, built in-house — runs SERP queries on EU servers, visits relevant public pages in logged-out mode, extracts and standardizes data entirely in memory, and returns a structured result to your tool in seconds.
Nothing is stored on Enrich-CRM servers post-enrichment. 100% EU pipeline on AWS Paris (eu-west-3). Unlike Owler, which relies on US infrastructure, Enrich-CRM's entire processing chain is EU-native.
