Product Feature
Advanced Search lets you explore a whole industry and surface qualified candidates by financials, location, compliance, and risk score at once, not one name at a time.
Overview
Most supplier research starts with a name you already know. Advanced Search inverts that. It lets sourcing teams query 1M+ supplier profiles across 140+ industries, then narrow by company type, product line, location, and risk in a single pass. The result is a shortlist of qualified suppliers you would never find through one-by-one lookups.
Searching one name at a time only confirms what you already know. Advanced Search opens the full base of 1M+ profiled suppliers. Browse by industry, drilling from a sector like semiconductors down to a niche like analog semiconductors, or search directly by product or commodity such as PCBA. Every result links to a complete dossier, so one query can map an entire market, not a single account.
A long list is only useful once you can cut it down. Advanced Search layers filters at once: industry sector, public or private status, product-line specialization, and country of headquarters. Combine these with financial and compliance signals so the search reflects your real sourcing criteria, and a broad market becomes a qualified candidate set.
The most useful filter is risk. Every supplier carries a 0 to 100 risk score built across eight categories, including fiscal health, bankruptcy risk, trade compliance, geopolitical risk, and ESG. Narrow a search by risk to surface only low-risk suppliers, or screen out high-risk ones before they reach your list. Sub-scores for financials, growth, and transparency show exactly why a supplier ranks where it does.
Discovery is the first step, not the last. From any result you can open a full profile, compare candidates against known alternatives, and save prospects. Shortlisted suppliers flow into Projects, where teams collect data, track manufacturing locations, and run risk assessments across many suppliers at once. Advanced Search is the front door to qualifying new sources and finding alternates before you need them.
