Research reports for traders

See who could buy the lot before you buy it

Tell us about one specific lot: the exact model or grade, quantity, price and where it is. Within a few working days you get a report naming the companies most likely to buy it, with phone numbers and the questions to ask on the call. If you have to buy, we look for sellers offering the same goods for less.

Sample

Company A · likely buyer · purchasing contact found

Company B · imports this model · company number only

Company C · wholesaler · not confirmed

Three reports, each about one specific lot

Buyer report

"If I buy this lot, will I be stuck with it?"

Companies that may buy or wholesale this exact model, ranked by how likely they are to buy. For each one: a phone number, the purchasing contact where we found one, and why it is on the list.

Supplier report

"I have to buy this. Does anyone sell the same for less?"

Sellers of the exact same specification, with prices quoted by them directly or read from their own listings, so you can compare before you sign.

Market check

"Where does this model sell, and at what price?"

The price of this exact model in nearby markets, and which countries import the most of it. We compare only the exact model and size, because a near match gives a false price.

From your first message to the outcome of the deal

1

You describe the lot

Exact model or grade, quantity, price, location, and the companies you already know, so the report does not repeat them.
2

You get a one-page brief and a fixed price

Exactly what we will look for, in which countries, and what the report costs. Nothing starts until you approve both.
3

The report lands in your private panel

Every claim says what its evidence is. Anything we could not confirm is stated plainly.
4

You make the calls

The deal stays yours to inspect, verify and close. We give you the list and the questions, and you can record the outcome of each deal in your panel.

One real job

A trader had signed a ferroalloy contract and still needed a supplier for the material. Our report listed sellers of the same grade. He bought the same material cheaper from one of them, and the saving was larger than our fee.

We do not publish the client's name or the deal figures.

Every report in one place, not in a chat thread

Each client has a private panel. Reports, lists, messages and files stay there, and for each job it records whether it led to a deal and what it saved or earned.

Every report and call list, always downloadable
Messages and files about each job, in one thread
The outcome of every deal, with a one-line reason

Price

Per report: Each report has one fixed price, agreed with you before any work starts.
