Mintec has over 1,200 global data sources ranging from proprietary, private, trade, government, public-body and futures exchanges. Non-proprietary Mintec series are typically captured on an as-is basis from a source. In some instances, we apply calculations to adjust and normalise the data.
Mintec receives price data continuously throughout the month. We typically update data as soon as it’s available, and our data publication schedules are set to daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or annually. Data is captured either by automated scripts or manually by our knowledgeable teams of analysts and proprietary pricing experts.
Our commitment to high standards includes robust systems and processes that provide a 360-degree view of issues that could affect data quality. These new processes utilise Robotic Process Automation (RPA) techniques and other technologies to augment manual checking routines into fully automated programmatic scans of live data to spot and rectify anomalies more quickly and more effectively.
Almost 100% of our data is published using the latest technologies to automate the data capture, processing and quality control activities. These automated processes ensure that the prices we publish are consistent and accurate, as well as timely. As a result, our customers can be confident about the quality of our prices.
