A dozen data layers in, one ranked call list out.
One engine, two search modes, and a pipeline that turns “we should sell here” into a defensible, ranked, exportable account list — multi-source discovery across your territory, deterministic brand-fit ranking, and an AI-written call opener on every account worth your week.
Distributor search runs on licence registries
Distributor search draws on federal alcohol permit records (TTB — basic permittees, importers, wholesalers) combined with state alcohol beverage control (ABC) licence data, covering wine, spirits and beer wholesalers nationally — every US state, with a curated roster of fine-wine importers and distributors layered on top. Pick a state, and Account Finder surfaces the distributors and brokers actually licensed to operate there, ranked for fit against your brand.
This is the piece of Account Finder built specifically for the regulatory side of go-to-market — the question of who's actually licensed to sell where, answered directly instead of inferred. Every industry also gets the full account-discovery engine across its own territory, running at least six independent data layers.
What backs the distributor layer
- Federal alcohol permit records, cross-referenced with state licence data
- National coverage — every US state
- Control states flagged automatically
- De-duplicated and ranked for brand fit before you see it

Curated award & recognition data
- Industry award and recognition data (wine & spirits)
- Comparable curated lists in other categories, where they exist
Curated award data, not just density
Location data tells you a venue exists. It doesn't tell you whether it's a serious account worth pitching. Account Finder cross-references curated award and recognition data — different lists depending on your industry — on top of location results, so quality signal shows up next to raw location data instead of getting lost in it.
Fit scoring with an AI rationale
Every account — venue or distributor — is scored 1 to 5 against your brand profile: category, price tier, style, and positioning. The score isn't a black box. Each result comes with a one-sentence rationale explaining why it scored the way it did, so you can push back on it, sanity-check it, or hand it straight to a sales rep without translation.
Rationales are built from real public signals — venue type, price tier, ratings, and what customers actually write — so every line you get is grounded in evidence about the venue rather than invented to sound persuasive.
Fit scores and rationales are AI-generated from public signals, not verified by a human before you see them. Treat each one as a well-informed starting point for your own judgment call, not a guarantee — review before you rely on a score or send an AI-drafted opener to anyone.
Every account is scored; a full call-opener rationale is written for as many as the search's time budget allows (the top slice, prioritised first). On rare occasions where a search runs long, a handful of accounts lower in the list may show a plain score and category summary instead of a full rationale — the ranking itself is unaffected, and it's visible in the results which accounts got the full write-up.
Example rationale
"4/5 — Extensive by-the-glass natural wine list and a chef-driven small-plates menu at a price point that matches your release pricing closely."
"4/5 — Multi-roaster café with rotating single-origin pour-overs and no single-roaster branding visible online — worth a wholesale pitch."
Same engine, different industry — the rationale speaks your trade's language, whichever of the six industries you pick in Settings.
Actual product settings — the brand-fit parameters every score is tuned by: price tier, rating floor, and the keywords you favour or exclude.
Map and table views, side by side
Two ways to look at the same ranked list, depending on what you're deciding.

Ranked table
Sortable and filterable by fit score, name, and source, for the day-to-day work of triaging a list down to who gets called this week.
One click, CSV or Sheets
Any results table — market search or distributor search — exports to CSV or directly to Google Sheets with a single click. Ready to import into a CRM, a spreadsheet, or a mail-merge tool.
CSV or Google Sheets export, no lock-in
Account Finder's job is to help you find and rank accounts, not to trap your data in a proprietary format. Every table exports cleanly to CSV or straight to a Google Sheet, so the list can travel wherever your sales process actually lives.
Four languages, one interface
The full interface is localized in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese — useful whether your team is based in the US, working with channel partners across Latin America and Iberia, or coordinating with Portuguese-speaking markets like Brazil.
Secure single sign-on
Account Finder uses secure single sign-on (Google sign-in) — no separate password to create or remember. Your credits, saved searches, and export history are tied to your account.
