Industry codes (NAICS and SIC) are self-reported, stale and coarse. A software company can be filed under consulting, a managed-services firm under retail. Any list built only on codes carries those errors.
A fingerprint looks at evidence instead. A company whose staff are mostly engineers and product managers is a software company whatever its code says; one full of clinicians is a practice; one full of technicians and dispatchers is a trades business. Buzzlist holds fingerprints for about 9.7 million companies.
On top of the fingerprint, BuzzAI can classify a company's business model on demand, such as SaaS, IT services, agency or government contractor, and shows the evidence for the label. Classification happens once and is reused for everyone afterwards.
