This article shows that the use new technology and computer programs sheds light on the role that Jesuits played in the commercial networks of the Iberian Empires during the early modern period. A number of studies have focused on the evangelical and missionary contribution by the members of the Society of Jesus in the Latin American and Asian frontiers, but this article puts forward a different point of view. I use the GECEM Database to compare two Jesuit mission areas (Macau and Paraguay) and their role in the global commercial routes. So, this article further departs from earlier scholarship on Jesuits by emphasising the local, by combining local scale with an analysis of inter-regional processes on a continental scale. My main sources are Jesuit letters, regulations, reports, accounts, and stories, and I also used the GECEM Database to analyse this empirical data. Este artículo muestra que el uso de las nuevas tecnologías y los programas informáticos arroja luz sobre el papel que los jesuitas desempeñaron en las redes comerciales de los imperios ibéricos durante la época moderna. Diversos estudios se han centrado en los aportes evangelizadores y misioneros de los miembros de la Compañía de Jesús en las fronteras latinoamericanas y asiáticas, pero este artículo plantea un punto de vista diferente. Utilizo la base de datos GECEM para comparar dos áreas de misión jesuita (Macao y Paraguay) y su papel en las rutas comerciales globales. De esta manera, el presente artículo se aleja de los estudios anteriores sobre los jesuitas al hacer hincapié en lo local, combinando la escala local con un análisis de los procesos interregionales a escala continental. Mis fuentes principales son las cartas, reglamentos, informes, relatos e historias de los jesuitas, y también utilicé la base de datos GECEM para analizar todos estos datos empíricos
