Wholesale, retail and distribution, checked for you 24/7
See the buyer changing shape before the order stops.
A customer taking on space, filing late, changing directors or losing a credit line is telling you something. So is a competitor doing the opposite.
ReachSpot reads the filings, the notices and the approvals, then tells you which of them concern a name on your ledger.
Supply contracts going out to tender arrive alongside them.

Free, and before anything else. No card, no account, and it runs on your own record rather than a demonstration.
What we read for you
The records behind every match, named.
These are the sources ReachSpot reads for wholesale, retail and distribution. Not a roadmap and not everything that exists: what is connected and running. Where a stream covers less ground than its name suggests, it says so here rather than in a footnote.
| Companies HouseUnited Kingdom |
Charges, officer changes and insolvency at every company on your ledger, in real time. Every incorporation, charge, officer change, PSC change and insolvency case, pushed as it is filed. |
|---|---|
| The GazetteUnited Kingdom |
The administration notice, usually before the account manager hears. The official public record: corporate insolvency notices, appointments and statutory notices. |
| Find a TenderUnited Kingdom |
Public supply contracts for the categories you distribute. UK public procurement notices, in the open contracting standard. Worth knowing. Recorded Find a Tender notices only. Not a claim of complete UK procurement coverage. |
| Food Standards AgencyUnited Kingdom |
New food business registrations, inspection ratings, and the recalls that reach your shelves. Every registered food business across all four nations, with inspection ratings, plus product recalls and allergy alerts. |
| Environment AgencyEngland |
Enforcement and permitted-site records for the operators you supply. Enforcement action taken against permit holders and operators, and the registers of permitted sites. |
| Tenders Electronic DailyEuropean Economic Area |
Above-threshold supply contracts across the EEA. Public contract notices from the EU-27, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. Worth knowing. TED carries above-threshold notices. Contracts below the EU thresholds are published nationally and are not in it. |
Every match keeps its original record. If we cannot show you why something reached you, we do not send it.
What this looks like
Four months. Four things nobody would have sent you.
A regional foodservice distributor with about 400 trade accounts on credit.
- Day one A customer spending £11,000 a month with you borrows from a new lender. Their old loan was cleared last month. Companies House
- Week two Two of that customer's four sites drop their food hygiene rating. Food Standards Agency
- Week six They file their accounts late. One late filing is nothing. Three warnings in six weeks is a direction. Companies House
- Month three Administrators are appointed. By then you were trading with them on a fortnight's terms instead of sixty days. The Gazette
No credit agency told you any of this. It was public, in three different places, and it took six weeks to become obvious.
An example of what these sources can show a business like this one. Not a real customer and not a measured result.
What a match looks like
One record, and the reason it reached you.
An illustration of the shape a match takes. Not a live result.
What happened
A charge registered against a customer at Companies House
Why you got it
The company is on your watchlist, the charge is new, and the pattern matches other accounts that later went bad.
What it carries
The company, the charge, the chargeholder, the filing date, and the filing itself.
What it costs
£149 a month. Everything included.
Eight streams run against your record whether you read them or not, so there is nothing cheaper to drop to and nothing to add on later. Your home market is in the price. Cancel any month.
Yearly is £1,490, which is ten months rather than twelve and keeps £298 in your account.

Questions wholesale, retail and distribution ask
Answered straight, including the awkward ones.
How many customers can I watch?
As many as you trade with. Watching companies is not metered and it is not a separate product.
Is this a credit reference agency?
No, and it does not pretend to be. There is no score and no rating. It reads the public record and tells you what was filed and when, with the filing attached, so you can decide.
Will it find me new customers as well?
That is what the Prospects stream is for. A company registering a charge, taking on space or appointing a new director is doing something that often needs a supplier.
Do you cover retail units and food outlets?
New registrations and inspection ratings, yes, from the FSA across all four nations. That is one of the cleanest national feeds in the country.
