Productpilot is the new online business database by Messe Frankfurt – it matches buyers and suppliers
Valuable information technology, like an online business database, simplifies and supports the gathering of up-to-date business information. Messe Frankfurt enriches the industry and ecommerce by the business matching platform Productpilot. This is a business directory for all kinds of target groups, like global enterprises, national sellers or buyers as well as wholesale and retail. The virtual marketplace for business and strategic management is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and is continuously updated. An effective B2B search engine integrated in the new online product platform Productpilot makes pre-planning of a tradeshow’s visit as well as the follow-up easy. The provided information is not related to a single event organised by Messe Frankfurt. Productpilot even encourages keeping the information provided for products and companies up-to-date throughout the year. Therefore, it becomes a valuable tool for your customers, for keeping an eye on your competitors and for supporting your business development as you can access market trends and latest innovations. Besides, an extensive and reliable address directory facilitates contacting, networking and inquiring.
Productpilot includes more than 20,000 suppliers and 120,000 products and offers an extensive overview of all exhibitions hosted by Messe Frankfurt. In the meantime, the service provider for tradeshows organises more than 120 events worldwide each year. Exhibitors and products are added to the database trade fair by trade fair according to the company’s event calendar. Trade fairs are, for example, Heimtextil, Paperworld, Light + Building or Automechanika. Searching and contacting exhibitors is free and can be done without registration. However, Messe Frankfurt recommends a registration as the search engine offers better results, and an exhibitor appears more reliable and trustworthy. Information is generally provided in English as it is an international platform. Information can also be presented in other languages such as French, Spanish or German – always depending on the market, your ebusiness strategies as well as on the tradeshow’s location.
Productpilot supports simple and quick business matching. This means that business partners with the same interests identify and contact each other. Sourcing refers to the search for new supply sources such as suppliers or manufacturers. Scouting means the search for new products, trends or services. These features enrich business life, and tremendously extend the value chain of physical tradeshows organised by Messe Frankfurt. Productpilot uses synergy effects and shows responsiveness to the market’s needs, which are currently driven by shorter product innovation cycles and increasing globalisation.
