C4ADS Launches Horizons

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE‌ — ‌C4ADS is proud to announce the public launch of Horizons, our flagship investigative software platform designed by and for investigators. Horizons enables seamless search across more than two billion aggregated public records, addressing the critical need for fast, reliable access to disparate publicly available information and advanced search capabilities that allow users to turn fragmented, cross-jurisdictional data into actionable insights.

Horizons is designed to streamline every step of your investigative journey, with an easily accessible data dictionary, customizable investigations workspaces, and unified search. It has already been instrumental in facilitating some of our most complex analytical workflows, from tracing Russia’s domestic drone production through property and customs data to revealing illicit maritime supply chains linked to sanctioned oil shipments. The platform’s robust features have enabled our teams to surface critical connections, verify records across jurisdictions, and move faster from initial lead to insight.

Horizons has also supported our partners’ investigations. Direkt36 journalist Daniel Szoke emphasized that the platform was “invaluable” for analyzing high-profile networks in Hungary, facilitating his investigation featured in The Dynasty: The Orban Family’s Businesses — a documentary that has since reached more than three million viewers. Another partner in Mozambique shared how Horizons helped them map company operations and foreign entities with ease, saying it was “essential for operationalizing work in achieving accountability for wildlife trafficking.”

We created Horizons to turbocharge the entire investigative process. It’s shaped by the experiences of C4ADS analysts, vetted by trusted partners, and designed to seamlessly and quickly handle complex queries. Whether you’re mapping opaque corporate structures, linking shipments to sanctioned entities, or building search workflows to use every day, Horizons is your go-to solution for impactful investigations.

Horizons is available to trusted partners on a needs-based basis. To learn more about the platform and/or request access, please click here or reach out to us at [email protected]. For any related media inquiries, please email [email protected].
