For market entry consultancies

Deliver better work
faster — under
your own brand.

Distributor identification eats weeks of every engagement. DistributorIQ Hub turns that phase into an afternoon, licensed to your practice and presented under your own brand. And where a market sits outside Hub, or an engagement needs hours rather than software, our analysts will run it for you as part of your team.

Teams and agencies includes
✶ Hub delivered under your own brand
✶ Unlimited shortlists
✶ Full API access
✶ Client workspace management
✶ Branded PDF reports
✶ Custom scoring frameworks
✶ Custom builds in markets Hub has not reached
✶ Our analysts on your engagements, as subcontractors
The challenge

The research phase is
consuming your margin.

Market entry consultancies typically spend 3–5 days per market on distributor identification and assessment — work that is billable but low-margin, repetitive, and structurally unimproved by the tools available. Your clients are not paying for your research hours. They are paying for your strategic judgement.

Without Hub
✕
3–5 analyst days on directory scraping, cold outreach, and basic profiling
✕
Inconsistent data quality — different fields, different sources, no comparability
✕
No structured conflict-of-interest check until late in engagement
✕
Each new market requires rebuilding the research process from scratch
✕
Research quality varies by analyst experience in that specific market
With Hub
✓
48 hours from client brief to a ranked, analyst-verified shortlist
✓
50+ standardised fields per distributor — every engagement, every market
✓
Conflict check built into every shortlist — zero additional effort
✓
One process in every market — and our analysts build the ones Hub has not reached
✓
Consistent quality floor enforced by in-market analyst review every time
Hub under your brand

Your intelligence.
Your brand.
Our infrastructure.

A partner licence embeds Hub entirely under your own brand. Your clients log in to your intelligence platform — powered by Hub's data and scoring, presented as your proprietary tool. No DistributorIQ branding. No watermarks. No indication of the underlying provider.

The same data, the same scoring and the same analyst review that sit behind our own consulting work. There is no second-tier partner build.

Scoring frameworks can be pre-configured for the engagement types you repeat. A practice that regularly handles pharmaceutical market entry in the Gulf keeps a model that already reflects what matters for that client type, rather than rebuilding the criteria from scratch on every brief.

Your brand — powered by Hub

Hub capabilities

Built for consulting practices.

🏷️
Your own branding
Your logo, your brand colours, your domain. Hub is invisible. Your clients see your intelligence capability, not our infrastructure.
🗂️
Client workspaces
Separate workspaces per client engagement. Shortlists, notes, status tracking, and comparison outputs all contained within the relevant client project.
⚙️
Custom scoring frameworks
Pre-configure scoring models for repeat engagement types. A pharmaceutical market entry model. An FMCG distribution model. Applied instantly to new briefs in those categories.
📡
Full API access
Integrate Hub's data and scoring into your own client delivery systems, reporting tools, or internal knowledge management platforms.
📄
Branded PDF reports
All shortlist outputs carry your branding. Ready to present to clients directly — no reformatting, no attribution to DistributorIQ.
🌐
Multi-market expansion
Access to every market as Hub coverage expands. Activate new geographies as you win engagements in them. No per-market setup cost.
🗺️
Markets beyond Hub
Custom builds for the countries and sectors Hub has not covered yet, to the same 50+ field structure, delivered into your licence alongside the live markets.
🤝
Analyst capacity
When an engagement needs hours rather than software, the analysts who verify Hub profiles can run the work as your subcontractor, under your name.
Software, hours, or both

Two ways in. Most
practices use both.

Some practices want the platform and nothing else: their own analysts, working faster. Others want the hours back and would rather hand the market work to someone who has done it before. You can take either, and you can change which one you use from engagement to engagement.

Option one
Hub, licensed to your practice

Your team works in Hub directly. Briefs in, scored and analyst-verified shortlists out, exported in your template. We are the infrastructure; the client relationship, the judgement and the recommendation stay entirely yours.

  • Your brand, your domain, no attribution to us
  • Unlimited shortlists across your licensed markets
  • API access into your own delivery systems
  • A separate client workspace per engagement
Option two
Our analysts, behind your badge

For the engagements you would rather not staff, we work as your subcontractor. You scope it with the client and own the relationship; we do the market work and hand you finished material in your format. We can be named as part of your team or not named at all.

  • The markets and sectors Hub has not reached yet
  • Primary research, in-market interviews and site visits
  • Introductions, negotiation support and regulatory groundwork
  • Our own paper and professional indemnity, as your supplier

In practice the two run together. Hub carries the markets we have built; our analysts take the ones you win before we get there, and the result arrives in your licence looking like everything else in it. You are not choosing a product — you are choosing how much of the work you want to keep.

Let's scope the right
arrangement.

Partner pricing is tailored to your volume, your markets, and how much of the work you want us to do. There is no standard price list — we scope it with you.
