I used to need 50 different sources of information to gather the insights and data I was looking for. Now, I just simply need to search my product in the platform and select my target markets to get what I need. This way I've cut in half the time I spend searching for new distributors.
One of the biggest difficulties I faced was the search for new importers. It was a process I carried out by searching on Google but the results were few and scattered. I had to spend many hours to unify this information and try to find the contact details of the purchasing managers of these companies.
We use the xNova platform to search for new distributors in the U.S. and European markets. We search by importers of “natural stone” “limestone” or “calcareous” and narrow the search by specific market such as Nordic countries. Once I have the list of potential companies I review them one by one to check the detail of products they sell. To do this I review both the products that appear in “products” within the platform as well as their website and if I think it fits our product line I contact them.
