Use case: Identifying perfect suppliers with Intedat Search
Ever spent days hunting for the perfect supplier, only to end up drowning in spreadsheets of irrelevant contacts? You're not alone.
When procurement teams need specialized suppliers, traditional databases with rigid NACE classifications often fall short, resulting in wasted time and missed opportunities.
Key challenges include:
- Time-consuming manual research
- Irrelevant results requiring extensive filtering
- Difficulty finding suppliers with precise capabilities
- Limited access to actual decision-makers
Intedat Search: A better way to find suppliers
Intedat Search transforms supplier discovery through intuitive keyword searches in the target country’s language, delivering relevant results in minutes.
A scenario: Finding eco-friendly packaging partners
Consider a Swedish furniture manufacturer seeking eco-friendly packaging suppliers in Germany for a product line expansion.
The traditional approach
With standard databases and NACE classifications, the team would face:
- Overly general categories like “Manufacture of corrugated paper and paperboard and of containers of paper and paperboard” (1721)
- No distinction between conventional and sustainable suppliers
- Days spent manually reviewing company websites
- High risk of missing ideal partners
The Intedat Search solution
With Intedat Search, the process becomes remarkably efficient:
1. The company would simply enter umweltfreundliche Verpackungen Möbel (eco-friendly packaging furniture).
2. They would select Germany as the target country.
