ODIN is a comprehensive database containing financial information on one million public and private companies in the Nordic region covering, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark. It combines data from eight sources with software for searching and analysis.
BvDEP sources data from four information providers of company financials, each an expert in its local market. Inclusion criteria are applied to prevent any bias in coverage. A standard report includes 22 balance sheet items, 24 profit and loss account items and 25 ratios, descriptive information including trade description and activity codes (NACE 1 NAICS or US SIC can be used across the database), ownership information which is researched by BvDEP’s own team of consultants, Reuters’ news, security and price information and links to an executive report with integral graphs, plus a report comparing the financials of the company’s default peer group. Additional ratios can be created that can be used for searching and analysis.

Each company is part of default peer group based on its activity codes; integral graphs illustrate its position in this peer group. A company tree diagram instantly illustrates the structure of the group.

In keeping with BvDEP’s other internet products ODIN offers 2 search formats. Quick multi-step search provides one-screen searching using the 11 most popular criteria for fast answers to basic queries. The expert mode has over 100 search criteria and features such as Boolean logic (and, or, not) and times series searching. Integral analysis software allows you to compare companies against each other and produce tables and graphs to illustrate your results. These can be downloaded.

Further features include: an "Add-in" function that facilitates the analysis of "live" data from ODIN within Excel/Access and BvDEP’s matching software, which allows you to compare your own database records with those that also occur in ODIN, and update or enhance you data accordingly.

ODIN is available on the internet.
