Proxi
Proxi is an industrial database tracker that monitors public records—such as permits, 811 locate requests, contract awards, and licenses—to identify businesses showing signs of imminent purchasing activity. The platform compiles these signals into a ranked daily call sheet, giving sales teams evidence-backed leads with direct contact information, eliminating manual research. It builds a living model for each of over 11 million businesses, updating continuously to reflect real-world operational changes.

Problem
Sales teams targeting businesses in the physical economy—such as equipment dealers, contractors, and suppliers—often rely on static data that shows what a company is, not what it is currently doing. This forces representatives to manually research thousands of companies to find those with impending demand, resulting in missed opportunities and decisions made on stale information. The delay between a business event (like a contract award or permit) and a sales outreach significantly reduces conversion chances.
Solution
Proxi provides a data platform that continuously monitors a comprehensive range of public records, including state filings, 811 locates, construction permits, environmental records, procurement awards, and job postings, polling each source on its native cadence. Every record is automatically resolved to a specific business, updating a living model that tracks personnel changes, business activities, and likely next actions. The platform then ranks these businesses on a daily "call sheet," presenting sales representatives with a prioritized list of accounts where demand is forming, complete with evidential records and direct phone numbers. This transforms the research process into a straightforward, daily workflow that centers on the question: "Who is about to buy?"
Target Audience
The primary customers are sales teams and business development representatives at equipment dealers, industrial supply companies, and other B2B organizations that rely on identifying infrastructure, construction, and environmental projects within a specific geographic territory.
