Use case: Searching smarter, not harder for business growth

Finding new clients shouldn't feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. Yet for many business development teams, that's exactly what it becomes – hours spent combing through databases, only to end up with lists of companies that aren't quite right for their offering.

The truth is, traditional prospecting methods are failing to keep pace with today’s specialized business landscape, especially when your potential clients span multiple industries or require specific capabilities.

The business development bottleneck

Companies looking to expand their client base typically face several key obstacles:

• Industry fragmentation: Your ideal clients are scattered across numerous NACE categories
• Relevance problems: Traditional databases return too many irrelevant results
• Contact challenges: Finding the actual decision-makers is often a separate, time-consuming task
• Outdated information: Many databases aren’t updated frequently enough
• Resource drain: Sales teams waste valuable time on manual research instead of building relationships

Intedat Search: A smarter approach to client acquisition

What if you could skip directly to a list of highly relevant prospects, ranked by how well they match your ideal customer profile? That’s precisely what Intedat Search delivers.

Real-world scenario: Industrial bearings expansion

Let’s look at how this works in practice. Imagine a Polish bearing manufacturer looking to expand into the German market. Their bearings are high-quality components used in various industrial machinery and equipment.

The traditional prospecting challenge

Using conventional databases with NACE classifications, this company would immediately hit roadblocks:

• Potential bearing users are scattered across at least 10-15 different NACE codes.
• Relevant categories like “Manufacture of electric motors, generators and transformers” (27.11) or “Manufacture of lifting and handling equipment” (28.22) would need to be individually researched.
• Even within these categories, many companies might not use the specific type of bearings they manufacture.
• Their sales team would need to manually visit hundreds of websites to determine relevance.
• By the time they compiled a useful list, their competitors may have already entered the market.

The Intedat Search solution

With Intedat Search, their approach would be completely different:

1. They’d start by entering exactly what their potential clients make, such as Elektromotoren Herstellung (electric motor manufacturing) or Förderanlagen Hersteller (conveyor system manufacturers).

2. They would select Germany as the target country.

 

 

3. The search begins immediately, processing data in real-time.

 

4. Within minutes, they’d receive precisely targeted results – for example, 144 electric motor manufacturers, with 63 of them including direct phone numbers and email addresses, all ranked by relevance.

5. For each company, they’d see comprehensive information and, in many cases, direct contacts to engineering and procurement decision-makers.

Real business impact

This approach fundamentally transforms the prospecting process:

• Targeted efficiency: Every company identified actually manufactures products that require bearings.
• Faster market entry: What might take weeks with traditional methods can be accomplished in a single day.
• Higher conversion rates: Sales efforts are directed only toward genuinely relevant prospects.
• Competitive advantage: While competitors are still building their prospect lists, this company is already establishing relationships.
