How It Works:

Our Industrial Index lets you source from the best in the entire market, not just a curated list of suppliers we like. We combine government, commercial, and public company records into a single business listing for every industrial supplier in a given geography. Suppliers are then categorized into classes based on their products and services and the industries they serve. The result is a data set comprehensive enough to give you confidence that every Cofactr Supplier Discovery campaign finds the best suppliers the market has to offer for your specific needs.

Search

Search the Industrial Index

Conduct searches of our Industrial Index to build one or more target supplier lists.

Select your suppliers with easy filters by location, annual revenue, headcount, certifications, materials, industries served, and more. Further refine suppliers by adding keywords to identify suppliers strongly differentiated by nearly any relevant term.

Sync

Sync Part Data to Your Search

Upload 2D drawings, 3D drawings, and process documents. Upload parts in any format (PDF, PRT, DWG, SLDPRT, etc). Quickly tag and extract key specifications from drawings yourself or have Cofactr do it for you.

We can extract specifications to match supplier lists tailored to your needs.

Engage

Engage Supplier Quickly at Scale

Kick off multi-channel contact efforts to engage suppliers. Suppliers receive access to non-sensitive order details which allow them to quickly decide whether the work is a good fit for them, and either move forward on your campaign or give feedback on why they don’t want the work.

Extend

Extend Your Supplier Network

Add suppliers with superior pricing, lead time, quality, and other capabilities from your campaigns to your network. Easily track and share your team’s knowledge of which suppliers are good and bad for different parts in your BOM.
