We find the distributors already importing your category, from customs records, and introduce you.
Sample shown for illustration. Every message goes out from us, as your export agent, never from your domain, and you approve it before it sends. Replies come straight to you.
Find distributors and importers in markets you haven't opened yet.
Grow your reseller and retail network abroad without hiring a regional team.
Reach the brands and retailers already importing the category you produce.
Get in front of specialty importers, wholesalers and retail buyers.
A continuous flow of new buyers, without the trade-show cycle.
Introductions run both ways, we can find and introduce manufacturers and exporters to you.

Every border crossing is logged. We start from those records, companies with a documented history of importing your exact category, with the shipment count and the route. Not a guess that they might buy. A receipt showing they already do. Every company is then cross-checked against its recent shipments, its registry entry and its own website, so you're never introduced to someone who stopped importing two years ago.
A company name is useless on its own. We find the buyer who signs, import director, category buyer, head of procurement, in the local language and title, then verify the address before anything is sent.
The introduction comes from us, in our own name, from our own infrastructure, the way a trade agent has always worked. Nothing to set up on your side, your domain is never used, and interested buyers reply straight to you.
Every dot is a company clearing customs in your target market. The lit ones already import your category.
The obvious objection: if a distributor already imports this category, why would they want another supplier? Because the record isn’t proof they want one. It’s proof they can be one, import licence, customs broker, warehousing, retail relationships, and a buyer whose actual job is your category. That takes years to build, and most companies never do. Everything after that is a conversation worth having.
A honey importer carries eight honey lines, not one. Adding a supplier isn’t replacing one, it’s how their shelf works.
If they import bulk from one region and you’re single-origin European, you’re not competing for the same shelf. You’re a tier they don’t stock. No other data source shows you this.
Single origin, single route, single point of failure. Second-sourcing is standard procurement practice, usually something they’re already thinking about.
An importer whose shipments jumped this year has demand they’re scrambling to cover. That’s visible in the record, months before it’s visible anywhere else.
The same records tell us who not to contact. A company importing two hundred containers of your exact product from an entrenched supplier is a bad target, and we find that out from the data, not after four follow-ups on your behalf.
Software guesses who might buy. An introduction should start from who already does.

We're not the right fit for everyone, if you sell software to US tech companies, use one of the others.
Real campaigns. Verified buyers. Booked meetings.
In any given month, most importers aren't looking for a new supplier. Who replies comes down to timing you can't see from the outside: a supplier just let them down, a range is being reworked, a contract is up for renewal. So the work isn't contacting a few promising names. It's introducing you to every importer of your category in the market, and following up until the timing is right.
A typical first month in one market. It varies by product and country, and your 40 free buyers show you your own numbers before you pay anything. A trade fair stand puts you in front of whoever walks past for three days; this is every importer in the market, every month.
For a first export market, or testing whether a region is worth the effort.
For producers opening several regions at once, or one region across several product lines.
For manufacturers working a whole continent, or an existing distributor network that needs filling out.
Every plan starts the same way: tell us what you sell and where, and we send 40 real buyers free, yours to keep whether you continue or not. Nothing to set up on your side, and your own domain is never used.
Customs and shipment records. When goods cross a border they're logged, who imported what, from where, how often. So instead of guessing which companies might want your product, we start from the ones with a documented history of importing your exact category into your target market. Then we find the buyer at that company and verify their email.
It's email, and it's the first contact, but we can show you exactly why each company was picked. If a buyer asks "why are you writing to me," the honest answer is "because you imported fourteen shipments of this category last year." That's the difference between a relevant introduction and spam, and it's why the reply rates hold up.
Most of them will, that's exactly what makes them worth introducing you to. The customs record isn't proof they want another supplier; it's proof they can be one: import licence, customs broker, warehousing, retail relationships, and a buyer whose job is your category. That infrastructure takes years, and it's why a company with no import history is usually a dead end no matter how well it fits on paper.
Beyond that, distributors carry ranges rather than single products, the records show origin so you may be a tier they don't stock, and single-supplier dependency is a procurement risk they're often already trying to solve. It also works the other way: if the data shows someone importing heavily from an entrenched competitor, we deprioritise them instead of spending your introductions on them.
Fair, don't take our word for it. Tell us what you make and which two markets you want, and we'll come back with 40 companies that already import that category there, the decision-maker at each, and the first message we'd send. You look at the list. If those aren't real buyers, we stop and you've lost nothing. If they are, we run a small paid pilot before any commitment.
You do. Interested buyers reply straight to your inbox. You know your pricing, MOQs, certifications and lead times better than any agency could, and a relayed answer costs a day and loses detail. We handle finding them, writing, sending and following up. You handle the conversation that matters.
We never touch your domain. Everything goes out from Jørg Digital's own established, warmed infrastructure, and we write as what we actually are, your export agent making an introduction. That's ordinary practice in trade, and it means your domain, your deliverability and your sender reputation stay completely out of it. Nothing to set up on your side, and we can start in days rather than weeks.
Every recipient has a documented history of importing your category, so the message reads as a supplier introduction, normal correspondence in trade, not an interruption.
Anything physical that crosses a border, food and drink, hardware, industrial components, consumer goods, health products. It works best where generic databases are weakest: niche categories and non-English markets. One thing worth knowing, because it decides which buyers we can find at all. The US, India and much of Latin America and South-East Asia publish company-level shipment records. The EU, UK, China, Japan, Korea, the Gulf, Australia and Canada do not. That sounds like it rules out Europe, and it doesn't: a distributor in Milan still shows up in the export filings of the country they buy from, so if they import from India or Vietnam we can see them. What we cannot see is a European buyer who sources only inside the EU. If that's your target we'll say so on the first call rather than sell you a list. And if you sell software to US tech companies, we're not the right fit either.
Every exporter has. Most have paid an agency once and got back a spreadsheet of companies that never bought anything. So we don’t ask you to believe us, we do the first part free, and you keep the list either way. If those forty companies aren’t real buyers, you’ve lost an email address and we’ve lost a day.
We can afford to work that way because the data does the finding, not a salesperson.
Tell us what you sell and which markets you want. Within a day we'll send you 40 companies that already import your category, with the decision-maker and the first message. Free, and yours to keep either way.
