Commercial intelligence for Australian B2B sales.

Know who's about to buy.

SIGNAL identifies commercial activity that indicates upcoming expenditure — then matches those opportunities with businesses positioned to deliver the work.

The problem

Most sales teams arrive after the opportunity is obvious.

By the time a project reaches the usual sales channels, competitors may already be pursuing it.

SIGNAL looks further upstream — for the commercial events that indicate a business may be approaching a purchasing decision.

Traditional

  1. Opportunity becomes obvious
  2. Suppliers compete

With SIGNAL

  1. Commercial event detected
  2. Purchasing window identified
  3. Relevant supplier alerted

How SIGNAL works

From commercial event to the right supplier.

  1. 01

    Detect

    We monitor commercial activity for events that can indicate upcoming expenditure.

  2. 02

    Understand

    We analyse the project to determine what is actually being purchased, the likely timing and the capabilities required.

  3. 03

    Match

    We match opportunities with suppliers based on their real capabilities, industries and service areas.

Matched on the primary requirement.

A supplier isn't the right fit just because it shares one technical capability with a project. SIGNAL matches on what the project is mainly buying. Overlapping capabilities are noted as secondary — they don't make the match on their own.

Project: industrial energy metering upgrade, with SCADA integration

  • Industrial energy metering supplierPrimary match
  • SCADA integrator onlySecondary capability — not a primary match

Example signal

What a SIGNAL opportunity looks like.

Each opportunity sets out what is being bought, where the project sits in its purchasing window and which capability it primarily calls for.

The difference

Not another lead list.

SIGNAL isn't a database of company names and phone numbers.

We look for events.

  • Funding
  • Expansion
  • New facilities
  • Contract awards
  • Infrastructure upgrades
  • Procurement activity
  • Regulatory requirements

Events that can indicate money is about to move.

The question isn't “Who could buy from you?”

It's “Who has a reason to buy from you now?”

Timing

Timing changes the value of an opportunity.

Commercial opportunities become less valuable as they become more obvious.

SIGNAL is designed to identify relevant activity earlier in the purchasing window. That gives suppliers an opportunity to investigate and qualify projects before they reach the usual sales channels.

SIGNAL doesn't guarantee early access, contracts or sales. The aim is to give your team the chance to look at a relevant project sooner.

Conceptual illustration of a purchasing window As a project moves later in its purchasing window, it becomes more visible to the market and the room for a supplier to investigate and qualify it narrows. SIGNAL looks for activity in the earlier part of the window. Where SIGNAL looks Room to investigate & qualify Visibility to the market Earlier Later Purchasing window →
