## About the product

SearchWorks is a South African web-based data aggregation and search platform for organisations that need verified, real-time information on individuals, businesses, property, credit, and related assets for due diligence and compliance.

Key capabilities include:
- **170+ live search types** (site states 150+ via web or API) across categories such as **CIPC records**, **property and Deeds** information, **trust information**, **court documents**, **credit bureaus**, **DOTS tracking**, **tracing and investigations**, and **document requests**
- **Multi-supplier aggregation** that brings data from **20+ suppliers** into a single interface, reducing the need to use multiple portals
- **Property Ownership History** searches that return **current and previous owners** plus **bonded history**, available for **erf, farm, sectional scheme, and agricultural holding** properties
- **API integration** via a **secure web service** that can be tailored for client systems, for teams that want searches inside existing workflows

Available on **Web** with **API** access.

It is used by **B2B teams** such as audit firms, law firms, credit and collections functions, financial services organisations, and property practitioners that need KYC support and checks aligned with legislation such as the **FIC Act** (and broader South African compliance requirements).

Notable in South Africa for its focus on **live results**, a **pay-per-click** model with **no contracts or monthly fees**, and broad coverage across common South African data sources used for verification and risk assessment. It also underpins **VOCA**, a related verification, onboarding, and compliance tool powered by the same data ecosystem.
