Your edge is the book. The risk is that it stops moving
A distributor lives off two searches at once: suppliers with product to place, and customers to place it with. Exporta.ai serves both, because the same activity-based search finds one and the other.
What stops a distributor
You have to find product and find an outlet, and both searches compete for the same hours. The one that gets abandoned is usually finding new customers.
On an intermediation margin, a miscalculated duty or a badly estimated freight takes the whole deal.
Contacts in one person’s inbox, prices in a sheet, history in a salesperson’s head. When someone leaves, they leave with their share.
How Exporta.ai handles it
The same search, both sides
You describe the company you are after —maker of this, buyer of that— and the AI finds it by real activity, with website and profile. It works for sourcing as well as for selling.
What each country moves, from official data
Real import volumes by tariff code and country, with duties and trade agreements applied. It is what separates a hunch from an opportunity.
One book, owned by the company
Companies, people, conversations and emails in one place, with a trail of how each one came in. What the team knows stops leaving with the team.
They worked with two suppliers and an inherited customer book. They searched for manufacturers in three countries to widen the catalogue and, with the same tool, buyers in two markets where they already had logistics in place.
An illustrative example of typical use; it does not describe a specific customer.
What this sector uses most
Yes, and it is worth doing first: the CRM starts from what you already have, and database cleaning tells you which emails are still alive before you send anything to them.
It does, because company search and the CRM do not care about the direction. What is built for exporting is the market analysis; the rest works the same for importing.
