The Challenge

Why Cross-Border Expansion Fails

Traditional market research is expensive, slow, and misses the stores that actually matter.

Research Takes 3-5 Months

Manual market analysis, competitor identification, and data collection consume months of team time before you even test the market.

Generic Tools Miss Critical Signals

Traffic analytics don't reveal warehouse locations, shipping carriers, or actual cross-border readiness. You're flying blind.

Weak Size Signals = Bad Prioritization

Without merchant size context, you waste outreach on tiny stores or miss high-value opportunities.

FAQs

Find answers to common questions about Cross-Border Intelligence.

How accurate is the cross-border detection?

We use evidence-based signals such as delivery pages, return policies, shipping carriers, and geographic availability to confirm whether a store ships to the UK. Only stores with verified cross-border indicators are included. Warehouse locations are inferred from shipping information and return addresses, where available.

How do you estimate merchant size?

Merchant-size signals are based on multiple indicators including platform type, product categories, traffic patterns, and technology signals. We provide relative bands such as top 1%, 1-5%, and 5-10% rather than raw revenue figures.

Can I filter by minimum merchant size filter?

Yes. You can request feeds filtered by merchant-size bands such as top 1%, 1-5%, 5-10%, or 10-25%. This ensures you focus sales effort on stores capable of generating substantial shipping or payment volume.

How often is the data updated?

We monitor 15M+ domains with e-commerce signals continuously, including 8M+ verified stores. You can receive weekly or monthly feeds depending on your needs. New cross-border entrants are discovered and added every month. Existing store data is refreshed regularly to detect changes in carriers, payment providers, or shipping destinations.

Can I integrate this data with my CRM?

Yes. Data is delivered in CSV, XLSX, or JSON formats compatible with Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, and other CRMs. We can also provide API access for automated ingestion into your systems.

Can I request a sample dataset before purchasing?

Yes. Contact our sales team to request a curated TOP-50 sample matching your ICP (Ideal Customer Profile). This allows you to evaluate data quality and relevance before committing to a full feed.

What if I need other cross-border routes (e.g., EU → US)?

We support custom cross-border intelligence for other routes. Contact sales to discuss your specific source/destination requirements. Common requests include: EU → US, EU → APAC, UK → EU (post-Brexit), and intra-EU cross-border flows.

How does pricing work?

Pricing depends on feed size, update frequency, and filtering criteria. This is a custom enterprise service tailored to your needs. Contact sales for a quote based on your requirements (expected monthly account volume, merchant size filters, geographic scope, etc.).
