Event Notification Centre

A personalised, real-time intelligence feed. PSN's data engine continuously scans contracts, tenders, organisational changes and market activity, then matches each event against your defined interests so you stay ahead without searching manually.

Step 1

Read the Event Activity Feed

Every match arrives as a card with its own match score and reason. Use the dropdowns to filter by type or importance.

    Filter dropdowns
    All Events + importance level — start broad, then narrow.

  3. 3
    Importance + date
    HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW badge plus when the event happened.
  4. 4
    View action
    Opens the full event with buyer, value, score and reason.

Each card tells you everything you need to triage in one glance: who (supplier/buyer), how big (value), how confident the match is (score), and why it matched your interests.

A match score above 70% is usually worth investigating. Below that, treat it as background noise unless your market is very narrow.

Tip: Use "High only" in the importance dropdown for your first morning sweep, then drop to Medium for a deeper afternoon session.
Step 2

Create and tune your alert

Pick the events that matter, narrow with filters, and choose how strong the signal needs to be.

Open the Event Notification Centre in a new tab and set up your first alert as you read.
