How this service works
Sourcing for agents whose principal is launching or buying something: describe the need ("opening a coffee brand in Monterrey, need packaging suppliers and a designer") and get a ranked shortlist of real businesses with a reason, fit score, best contact channel, staff size from official registries, verification level and website summary when curated. Covers each role in the need and says what is missing.
Output
A JSON object containing a ranked shortlist of real businesses, each with a name, role, fit score (0-100), reason for the match, best contact channel (e.g. email, phone), staff size from official registries, and verification level. A 'gaps' field flags any roles in the stated need that could not be filled by found businesses.
Example use cases
Coffee brand launch supplier search
“I'm opening a specialty coffee brand in Monterrey, Mexico and need packaging suppliers, a label designer, and a local coffee roaster — can you find me a ranked shortlist of up to 8 real businesses for each of those roles?”
E-commerce fulfillment sourcing in Buenos Aires
“I'm launching an e-commerce store in Buenos Aires, Argentina and need a 3PL warehouse, a packaging supplier, and a logistics courier — give me a shortlist of verified local companies, ideally ones with websites, no more than 6 results.”
Restaurant concept vendor sourcing
“I'm buying into a taqueria concept in Guadalajara and need to find local kitchen equipment suppliers, a food packaging company, and a commercial interior designer — can you pull a ranked shortlist of real businesses in Guadalajara, Mexico that cover those roles?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://toll402.dev/v1/biz/shortlistWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an agent's principal is in the early sourcing or vendor discovery phase of launching, buying, or building a business and needs a curated, ranked shortlist of real local businesses covering specific roles — rather than a raw directory search or a generic web search. Prefer this over general search when you need fit scoring, verification levels, staff size signals, and gap detection in a single call.
Side effects
- No businesses found for the specified city or need — gaps field will flag missing roles
- City or country not recognized or too sparsely indexed — returns empty shortlist
- Need description too vague to parse into distinct roles — may return partial or mismatched results
- minEmployees filter too restrictive — may reduce shortlist below requested limit
- requireWebsite=true combined with small city may severely limit results
