We run dozens of distributor research and go-to-market consulting projects every year. Ask us for a proposal.

For trade promotion agencies

Scale distributor
intelligence across
your exporter network.

Trade promotion agencies, export finance institutions and chambers of commerce support hundreds of exporters at once. DistributorIQ Hub gives you credible distributor intelligence at programme scale without a proportionate headcount — and where a programme needs hours rather than software, our analysts deliver the work under your name.

The programme challenge
👥
High exporter volume
Hundreds of companies each needing market-specific distributor intelligence
⏰
Limited analyst capacity
Staff time cannot scale proportionately with programme volume
📊
Quality consistency
Distributor intelligence quality varies widely by advisor and market
The programme model

A two-tier model for
programme scale.

Not every exporter in your programme needs the same level of support. Hub supports a tiered approach: self-serve screening for exporters at an early stage, and analyst-verified shortlists for the ones making a serious market entry decision.

Tier A — Self-serve
Explorer access

For exporters at an early stage of market assessment. They can search Hub, run the AI brief tool, and see which distributors match their criteria — without consuming your staff time.

  • ✓Search and filter the whole of Hub
  • ✓Run AI brief tool — see criteria extraction
  • ✓View match count for their brief
  • —Full profiles and analyst review unlocked at Tier B
Tier B — Analyst-verified
Full shortlist

For high-value clients making serious market entry decisions. Full 50+ field profiles, bespoke scoring, specialist analyst review, conflict check and PDF export — a verified shortlist within 48 hours of the brief, and 90 days of access to the market around it.

  • ✓Everything in Tier A, plus:
  • ✓Full 50+ field profiles unlocked
  • ✓Ranked shortlist with match scores
  • ✓Specialist analyst review & notes
  • ✓Conflict-of-interest check
  • ✓Branded PDF export
Programme deployment

Deployed to your
programme — your way.

A Hub licence is scoped to your programme structure, priority markets and exporter volume. There is no one-size-fits-all model — we build the arrangement around what the programme has to deliver.

01
Market and sector configuration
We activate the markets and sectors relevant to your programme priorities. Saudi Arabia healthcare, UAE industrial, Indonesia FMCG — configured by what your exporters actually need.
02
Exporter access provisioning
Self-serve Tier A access deployed across your exporter client base. Exporters log in under your programme branding and run their own initial screening without consuming your staff time.
03
Analyst shortlists for high-value cases
Your team or ours submits the brief for exporters who qualify for Tier B support. Full shortlist delivered within 48 hours, carrying your agency branding.
04
Programme reporting
Activity dashboard showing shortlists requested, markets covered, and programme engagement metrics. Demonstrable output for your funders and stakeholders.

Analyst capacity

When the programme needs
hours, not software.

Hub covers the markets it covers. Export programmes rarely stop at that line. For the countries and sectors outside it, and for exporters who need more than a shortlist, our analysts take the work on as a supplier to your programme — to the same standard, reported under your name.

Beyond Hub coverage
The markets you have prioritised

If your programme's priority market is not live on Hub, we build the distributor picture from scratch: the same 50+ field structure, the same verification, delivered into your licence so it sits alongside the live markets rather than in a separate report.

  • Any country, any sector, scoped and priced before we start
  • Priced per country on multi-market programmes
  • Ongoing maintenance where the data has to stay current
Delivered as your team
Subcontracted, not co-branded

We plug into your advisers rather than sitting beside them. Briefing notes, shortlists and market reports arrive in your template and carry your branding, and we do not approach your exporters unless you ask us to. Where it helps, our consultants join your calls as part of your team.

  • Distributor introductions and meeting programmes
  • Trade mission preparation and in-market support
  • Regulatory and route-to-market groundwork

We are used to contracting as a supplier. Micker Brook Ltd works inside framework agreements and public procurement rules, on your paper, with our own professional indemnity cover. For most agencies the practical answer is a Hub licence for the priority markets and a drawdown arrangement for the analyst work around it.

Built around
your programme.

Hub licensing and analyst support are both scoped to your exporter volume, priority markets and programme structure. Tell us what the programme has to deliver and we will design the arrangement around it.
