The right distributor, verified. Not the first one found.
Identifying a reliable distributor or partner takes 4 to 6 months on average when going solo.
plotus Matching divides that by 4 and replaces intuition with objective scoring. Our models qualify each candidate on 30+ dimensions — size, geographic coverage, financial health, customer portfolio, litigation history, reputational signals — and monitor changes continuously, including post-signature.
A poorly chosen distributor destroys more value than a failed expansion: renegotiation, termination, litigation, 12 to 18 months of pipeline lost. Manual qualifications cover 5% of the real ground — the rest is impression, referral, or luck.
plotus treats each partner as a lightweight due diligence file. 30 criteria scored, sourced, weightable. Reputational monitoring triggered from qualification, continued after signature. You receive a structured partner file and an alert feed if a weak signal appears — shareholder change, payment incident, negative press.
- Public financial databases cross-referenced (filings, consolidated accounts, payment incidents)
- Social and professional press scanning in 3 languages — no machine translation
- Existing customer portfolio analysis: compatibility and absence of conflicts
- Automatic post-signature alerts: shareholders, litigation, press, financial health
