You type what the business does and where it operates. The search runs against public listings covering more than 100,000,000 businesses, and it runs when you press the button — nothing is served from a list someone compiled last year.
A listing on its own gives you a name and an address. For each business in your list, Provendor researches the web for the email address, phone number and website, and writes a short description of what the company actually does — so you can tell a distributor from a manufacturer before you write a single email.
Every business is scored on how well it matches what you searched for and how much usable contact information came back. The list arrives sorted, so the rows you can act on today sit at the top and you are not scrolling to find them.
| Business | City | Contact | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kitchen House | Rotterdam | EMAIL + PHONE | 94 |
| Horeca Totaal | Amsterdam | EMAIL + PHONE | 91 |
| De Vries Catering | Utrecht | EMAIL ONLY | 78 |
| Grootkeuken Zuid | Eindhoven | PHONE ONLY | 64 |
| Keukenpartner BV | Groningen | WEBSITE ONLY | 51 |
Not a locked dashboard you have to log back into. An .xlsx workbook of every matching business, which you can filter, split between a team, or paste straight into whatever you already send email from.

Alongside the workbook you get a hosted market intelligence report on that category and country. Most of it is computed directly from your own list — how many businesses there are, how they cluster geographically, how reachable they are, who holds the reviews. The rest is written up as narrative: where the openings are and what to lead with when you contact them.
Provendor builds the list and tells you what it found. Everything after that is yours.
Finds the businesses, the contact details and the description, then scores and ranks what came back.
Computes the statistics from your list and writes them up, citing a source for any market figure or leaving it out.
No emails are sent, no campaigns run, no pipeline managed, no CRM synced, and no addresses verified by SMTP.
A contact database starts going stale the day it ships. Provendor doesn't keep one — it goes and looks when you ask — and tells you plainly what it could not find.
