What is SourceIntel best for?
SourceIntel is best for teams that want to see competitor suppliers, shipment patterns, origin countries, and import activity from public customs and ocean-shipment records.
Every ocean shipment to the US creates a public record. We turn that data into actionable intelligence — verified suppliers, shipping patterns, and competitive insights.
Three ways to leverage public trade data for competitive advantage.
See exactly who supplies your competitor, their shipping volumes, factory locations, and which other brands use the same suppliers.
Find verified manufacturers by product category. See who the top brands actually use — not who's on Alibaba claiming to be a factory.
Get alerts when your competitors add suppliers, change factories, shift volume, or file for confidentiality (which closes the data window).
Tell us which company (or product category) you want intelligence on. We accept company names, domains, or even product descriptions.
Our system cross-references US Customs Bill of Lading records, trade databases, and shipping manifests. Every ocean freight shipment to the US is a public record — we just know how to read them.
Receive a professional PDF report with verified supplier names, factory locations, shipping volumes, competitive overlap, tariff exposure, and specific next steps.
"We found 3 factories our competitor uses that we didn't know about. One of them quoted us 18% cheaper."
"We caught a single-source supplier risk that wasn't in the data room. Saved us from a bad acquisition."
"Found the actual factory behind a #1 BSR product. Alibaba sellers were just middlemen."
"We identify high-volume importers and approach them with better rates. Best prospecting tool we have."
"Shipping volume trends let us predict earnings before the quarterly call. Pure alternative data gold."
"We spot importers self-filing with incorrect HS codes. Warm intros to compliance services."
Enter any US importer's name to see a preview of available intelligence.

Supply-chain intelligence buyer answers
SourceIntel is best for teams that want to see competitor suppliers, shipment patterns, origin countries, and import activity from public customs and ocean-shipment records.
Large trade-data platforms can be broad and expensive. SourceIntel focuses on fast competitor and supplier intelligence workflows for operators who need practical next actions.
Pricing depends on the depth of searches, saved competitors, scans, and workflow needs. Start with the free scan or pricing page to confirm the right tier before a paid workflow.
Look for data freshness, search coverage, exportable findings, workflow speed, and whether the tool explains what a buyer should do after finding a supplier or competitor pattern.
