How Digital publishing usage is detected

Methodology

Company data

Detected companies are joined to UK Companies House records and XBRL accounts data. Revenue and headcount figures come from the most recent filed accounts; where the company has not filed, values are estimated using a model trained on filed history and peer benchmarks and are labelled as estimates.

Detection

Firmbase crawls the public website of actively-trading UK companies and fingerprints the technologies present: tracking scripts, embedded forms, chat widgets, CMS markers and similar signatures. A company is included in this list when one or more of the technology's signatures are found on its site; closely-related variants of the same product are grouped under one name. Detection covers what is visible on the public web — a company using the technology purely internally, with no website footprint, will not appear. Counts are therefore a conservative floor, not a ceiling.

Freshness

Websites are re-crawled on a rolling basis and the underlying company data is refreshed from Companies House continuously; filings appear within days of submission. The list and its statistics are regenerated when the detected cohort moves meaningfully. You can see the last-updated timestamp near the top of the page.

Frequently asked questions

What is the most-used Digital publishing among UK construction companies?
Issuu is the most-detected Digital publishing among UK construction companies, with 33% share (173 of 524 companies with a detectable system), ahead of Flipsnack (16.2%) and FlipHTML5 (13.4%).
How many UK construction companies have a detectable Digital publishing?

What is a Digital publishing?
A digital publishing system turns PDFs, brochures, catalogues, magazines, and project documents into web-readable publications. For UK construction companies, it is typically used to present capability statements, bid material, product ranges, case studies, or client-facing project content without relying only on downloadable files.
How is Digital publishing usage detected?
Firmbase crawls the public website of every actively-trading company in this scope and fingerprints the technologies present — scripts, widgets, booking and checkout flows. A company is attributed to a system when that system's signatures are found; systems with no public web footprint are not attributable, which is why every share figure on this page means share of companies with a detectable system.
Which has more UK construction companies, Issuu or Flipsnack?
Issuu: 173 detected companies versus 85 for Flipsnack, of the 524 UK construction companies with a detectable Digital publishing.
What is the best Digital publishing for UK construction companies?
This page publishes usage data rather than recommendations, so there is no single “best” digital publishing system for every UK construction company. Issuu leads each employee band: Under 10 employees has 322 companies with Issuu at 32.6%, 10–50 employees has 167 companies with Issuu at 32.9%, and Over 50 employees has 35 companies with Issuu at 37.1%.
