Global B2B trade directory
SaharaIndex helps procurement teams, exporters and trade-service providers discover public business profiles for suppliers, buyers, importers, distributors, manufacturers, freight forwarders and regulated B2B categories.
Use SaharaIndex to search manufacturers, factories, exporters, wholesalers, distributors, importers, procurement companies, freight forwarders, customs brokers, warehouses, inspection companies and regulated trade-service providers. Public company profiles include business roles, countries, categories, product catalogue signals, website links, public business contact status and RFQ entry points where available.
SaharaIndex combines public business records, supplier websites, company catalogues, public B2B profiles and submitted business data. Company owners can claim profiles, verify account email, upload documents and submit product information for review. Buyers can search by category, product, role and country, then submit sourcing requests without relying on consumer checkout flows for sensitive or regulated categories.
Medical, pharma, dental, laboratory, chemical, agro-veterinary, crop protection, fertiliser, feed, HVAC, industrial, energy, PPE, safety, mining, metals and logistics pages are treated as B2B discovery pages. SaharaIndex does not invent licences, certifications, prices or compliance claims. Restricted RFQ routing and high-risk claims require review.
Buyers can submit RFQs with company, phone, product, quantity and country preferences. Suppliers can list a company, claim an enriched profile, add products, provide catalogue URLs and submit documents. Product data is sourced from supplier pages, catalogues, brochures and approved submitted listings, with missing prices and MOQ left blank instead of invented.
Explore medical supplies, agro-veterinary products, cereals, industrial equipment, HVAC, pipes, construction materials, solar equipment, batteries, EV charging, food ingredients, cosmetics packaging, chemicals, metals, machinery, textiles, automotive, electronics, furniture, telecom, drones, robotics and cross-border logistics across Europe, MENA, Asia and the Americas.
SaharaIndex uses source URLs, freshness, confidence scoring, deduplication, role classification and review status to decide how business profiles, contacts, products and catalogue entries appear publicly. Supplier catalogue pages can be listed when they come from an official or public business source, while buyer and importer roles are kept in buyer directories instead of product taxonomy. Product prices, MOQ, lead times, certifications and documents are shown only when published by the supplier, submitted by a verified account or reviewed by an admin. Missing details remain blank or are requested through RFQ instead of being invented.
Buyers often need more than a supplier name. SaharaIndex links product discovery with freight forwarders, warehouses, customs brokers, inspection companies, certification services, packaging suppliers and trade-finance providers where relevant. This helps sourcing teams move from search to supplier comparison, then to RFQ, documentation and shipment planning. Regulated categories stay review-gated so discovery pages do not become unsafe automatic routing or consumer checkout pages.
Where public business contacts are available, SaharaIndex may show company-level contacts. RFQs and regulated routing still use review gates where required.
Suppliers can claim profiles and submit product, catalogue, media and certification updates for admin review.
No. Public profiles can be enriched from lawful public business sources, while claimed, verified and regulated statuses are shown only when supported by workflow data.
