ApexThe assistant we built ourselves, the one you talk to; this row takes you back to the conversation.Where to find itLeft sidebar, top rowGlossary searches like a well-prepared colleague: it asks who you are looking for, knows from the companies' websites what they do, and checks every company before handing it over. If you know how it works, you get to a precise target group in fewer rounds.
It searches by what the company does
For every company, Apex knows what it does and what it sells; it builds this from the company's own website. Who the company works for and where it operates, Apex sees from the company's description and the address it gives. The search looks at meaning: a request for “meat processors” also finds the companies that describe themselves as ham and sausage makers.
It checks every company
Apex checks, company by company, whether each one really fits your request, and writes one sentence for each on why. The reasons show you whether the search is heading in the right direction.
First a sample, then batches
Apex first shows a sample: the 5 best-fitting companies, by name (3 on Apex Free). If the direction is right, it brings the rest in batches: if you give no number, up to 100 companies in one batch, and more on request if they fit into your Apex allowanceHow much work Apex can do for you, as a percentage.Where to find itAccount menu; My subscription › UsageGlossary. The companies handed over stay in the search's target group unless you ask otherwise.
It searches by country
Every search covers one or more countries, so it is worth naming where to search at the start: “Hungarian machine builders”, “Slovak accounting firms”. You can name several countries in one request; if the country is left out, Apex asks.
You can ask for several things in one sentence
Apex sets up every part of the request: the line of business, the location, the exclusions, and also that the companies should have an email address, and on the right it shows what it is searching by.
The search is kept
Apex keeps every search together with its conversation. You can come back to it or rename it at any time, and Apex picks up where it left off.
Handover and allowance
When Apex hands over a company, it becomes your company: you get its name, its record and its contact details, and from then on you can look at it again at any time. Apex's work, checking and handing over the companies, counts towards your plan's Apex allowanceHow much work Apex can do for you, as a percentage.Where to find itAccount menu; My subscription › UsageGlossary; the allowance has a 5-hour part and a weekly part, and both refill on their own.
