❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Partners, Customers, and Collection?
Partners are businesses you have a formal supply or collaboration relationship with. Customers are businesses you sell to or have sold to. Collection is a general-purpose save list for businesses you want to track or reference.
Can I contact a business directly from the Listings page?
Yes. Open the business profile and use the contact details in the Branches tab, or use the message icon to send a direct message through Message Hub.
What does Unclaimed mean on a business profile?
It means no verified employee has taken ownership of that profile. Click Claim This Business if you work for that company.
🔧 Troubleshooting
I cannot find a business I know is on the platform.
Use the Search function to search by exact name. If the business still does not appear, they may have unpublished their profile. Try clearing your active filters and searching again.
The business profile I opened shows limited information.
If the profile is unclaimed or the business hasn't fully completed their setup, some sections may be empty. The profile owner needs to log in and complete their Business Profile to populate all fields.
