FAQ
Common questions
How the marketplace works for manufacturers and distributors.

How are distributor matches scored?
Each distributor is scored 0–100 against an offer on six weighted criteria: country coverage, category match, sales-channel match, minimum-order fit, certification fit and existing-network fit — each with a plain-language rationale.
How is contact information protected?
A company's direct contact details stay hidden until an introduction request is approved, which keeps the marketplace free of cold outreach and spam.
