For trading companies and exporters
A single buyer directory is mailed by hundreds of competitors at once, and the reply rate shows it. What actually works is timing — who is opening stores, who is launching a product, who just started hiring a procurement manager. AuroSignal finds those moments each working day and gives you the reason to make contact.
Opening twelve stores means the replenishment plan is already running, and the buying list is usually set two to three months before launch. A channel-expansion signal reaches you in that gap, not after the shelf photo appears.
A small brand that just overfunded a campaign needs manufacturing and assembly, and the founder is reading supplier messages every day. Having a budget, a deadline and no incumbent supplier is the highest-reply window you will get.
An importer hiring a China-facing procurement manager is building a sourcing channel and has no supplier list yet. Arriving before the shortlist exists puts you in the role of the supplier who helped write it, instead of a replacement bid.
A workflow in practice
A regional chain announces twelve new locations, and local coverage repeats the launch plan for each one.
Store openings plus the published launch schedule tell you the replenishment cycle has started and roughly when the buying list closes.
This is a category-refill conversation, not a cold introduction. The useful question is which SKUs can be on a shelf quickly.
Lead with a short list of SKUs and the restocking lead time, then keep the record in your workspace so the second conversation has a history.
Illustrative example built from public sources. Contact details are not provided and no reply rate is promised. Signals record the timing and the source; you decide how to approach.
The practical details
A list tells you who bought before, often a quarter or more in the past. A signal tells you who is about to buy — opening a store, launching a product, hiring procurement, adding a category — with the source you can check yourself.
No. Each entry gives the company, the country, the signal type, why it matters now and the original source. Finding the person is your craft; the timing and the opening line are what change the outcome.
Match by product category and target market. Carrying several categories is normal for a trading company, and the dimensions agreed at the start are what the delivered signals are matched against.
