Live platform counts · every card opens the search pre-filteredPurchasing directors and managers across the US and Canada. The people who open new supplier accounts, not the info@ address.

The assortment decision across the US, Canada and the UK. Exactly the roles that decide whether you get listed.
Why this market is hard to reach
Between fairs, new-account acquisition mostly stops - while the market keeps moving.
The people who decide assortments sit behind generic info@ addresses on every list you can buy.
Every new territory or category means mapping a fresh set of trade customers from scratch.

Exports arrive deliverable.
Live verification runs at download, so the CSV that lands in your sequencer or CRM has just been checked - invalid addresses cost you nothing and never reach a campaign.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Category managers, heads of buying, buying directors and merchandising managers across the US, Canada and the UK count 20,486 on their own (checked 2026-08-20), alongside the purchasing desks at larger accounts and the owner-managers who decide at smaller retailers.
Independents are the larger part of it. Owners at retail and store businesses in the United States alone count 202,269 (checked 2026-08-20), which is the segment where the owner is the buying desk and where a named contact replaces a generic shop address.
You are not buying company records with a switchboard attached. Each row is a named person with a verified work email, checked at the moment you export, so the message reaches the person who decides the assortment rather than a shared inbox.
Map the new territory's trade landscape first, counted, for free, then work it as a prioritized list instead of cold-visiting. Region filters go down to state and city level, so a rep's patch is a filter rather than a spreadsheet split.
The fair happens twice a year; the list works every week between them. Used well it also warms up exactly the accounts you want to walk up to at the next fair, so the stand conversations start warm.
Saved lists store filters rather than a snapshot, so re-running a screen reflects who holds the buying role today. Contact details are verified when you export, or from a check within the last 60 days, and anything that fails is removed from the file at no cost.
Both directions work. Suppliers find distribution, distributors find retail, and the same screens cover resellers and trade customers in between, so the whole chain is addressable from one account.
One credit per deliverable contact, nothing for addresses that fail. A 1,500-buyer campaign across a new territory is 1,500 credits, which sits inside the smallest monthly plan. Counting the territory first costs nothing at all.
Direct dials and mobiles are available from the Pro plan at 10 credits each and only charge when a number is returned, with company numbers included at no cost. Exports go out as CSV, push natively into the common CRM and sequencer stack, or come through the REST API into your own systems.
You export business contact details for named people in a professional role and send from your own systems, under your own lawful basis and opt-out handling. Argorant supplies the data and never sends on your behalf.
No call required. Sign up, run the search, and see your market before you commit to anything.
