The problem

Most pipelines are full of brands that will never ship with you.

Generic databases tell you a brand exists. They don't tell you whether it ships the way your network needs it to. So teams guess, and guessing is expensive.

200 emails. Two replies.

Cold outreach sprayed at brands that ship forty parcels a month, or none at all. Volume without fit is just noise.

Six weeks to hear "no fit".

Discovery that ends with an account your network was never built to serve. The time never comes back.

Bids lost on context.

The carrier who already knew the brand's volumes, systems and delivery pain won the lane.

Your team is good. Point them at the right brands and it shows. That's the entire job Dakota does.

Questions

The things you're right to ask.

Where does the data come from?
Dakota aggregates signals from a wide range of public and commercial sources: shipment and volume indicators, growth data, review platforms, social channels and technology footprints, all in one live profile per brand. [Placeholder: add your approved data-sources wording here.]
How accurate is it?
Every profile shows the signals behind its estimates, so your team can judge the evidence rather than trust a black box. Fit scores are calibrated to your network's actual service profile. The free sample report exists precisely so you can check the quality against accounts you already know.
Which markets do you cover?
Dakota is built for the UK and European final-mile market: carriers, 3PLs and the retail and e-commerce brands they serve. If your lanes are elsewhere, tell us in the form below and we'll let you know when we get there.
How does the free sample report work?
You give us your work email plus your origin and the destinations you want to grow. We work out your company and service profile from your domain, then send back full Dakota profiles on five brands that fit your network, including the "how to sell to them" angle for each. No commitment, and the profiles are yours to use either way.
What about GDPR and security?
Contact data is limited to business-role information processed under legitimate interest, and we honour removal requests promptly. [Placeholder: link your privacy policy and add security certifications here.]
