A Free Service To
BOAC now offers its passengers travelling to Britain on business a completely free and up-to-date com puterised intelligence service on British manufacturing and service companies. It is known as Interfile.
Although the service only began in February the results have been impressive. Interfile has been notified, for example, of a S 6 million deal being negotiated as a result of business intelligence provided.
Intelligence provided by Interfile includes full com pany names, addresses, telephone numbers, names of principal personnel to contact, products manufactured and service provided, number of employees, capital em ployed, trades names, and a section on the specialities and history of firms in the required field of interest.
Interfile can be contacted by giving the description of the products, services, companies or trade names the business visitor is interested in on special application forms which are available at BOAC offices. And the more precisely the requirements are stated on the appli cation form, the more exact will be the data printout from the Interfile computer.
The passenger’s request will be telexed ahead of the
travel date to Interfile and the printout will be delivered to the inquirer either before leaving his own country or to a contact address in the UK.
