Find and Qualify Distributors Where Others Only See Noise
Automatically uncover real channel partners using offline signals — trade shows, sponsorships, physical presence, listings, and regulator records — then enrich them with contact and firmographics for GTM teams.
- Offline signals, not generic databases
- Decision-ready outputs with evidence
- Verified contacts and firmographics
Why You Need Better Distributor Data
Most teams fail because distributor info lives in:
- Event PDFs and exhibitor catalogs — unstructured, one-off, hard to merge.
- Regulatory filings and country-specific lists — fragmented, often no contacts.
- Trade associations and chambers — member directories, inconsistent formats.
- Manufacturer partner PDFs — authorized distributor pages, scattered by brand.
There is no centralized distributor database. Manual research produces noise, stale leads, and wasted sales cycles.

Decision-ready outputs, not raw scraping. Emphasis on relevance, freshness, and qualification.
Qualified distributor candidates

How It Works
From scattered offline sources to ready-to-use lists and insights.
Source
Ingest offline sources
Trade show exhibitor lists, PDF catalogs, regulatory registries, association directories, manufacturer authorized partner pages.
Detect
Identify distributors via signals
Multi-brand catalogs, territory language, authorized partner mentions, service and logistics wording, licensing and association membership.
Normalize
Unify and deduplicate
Same company across PDFs, events, and registries becomes one record. Names, locations, and categories standardized.
Enrich & deliver
Contacts, firmographics, export
Verified contacts, firmographics, CRM or spreadsheet export. Updates over time as new sources are added.
