Manual searches for metalworking suppliers take time your purchasing team does not have
Purchasing and engineering teams lose many hours on manual research through Google or generic directories that often lack detailed information about manufacturing processes or certificates. Overly broad result lists lead to poorly matched RFQs, while the research itself ties up several people and delays projects.
Metal Navigator – the faster route from technical requirements to a supplier shortlist
Metal Navigator is a powerful sourcing tool for purchasing departments, developed as an alternative to manual Google research and outdated directories. The application automatically narrows down metalworking companies to suppliers that match precise criteria – technological processes, certificates, location or revenue level. In minutes, you receive a short list of relevant suppliers instead of spending days on time-consuming research.

Why Target Poland?
Metal Navigator was developed by industrial sourcing and B2B experts, with a focus on the practical challenges faced by purchasing departments in the metal industry. We focus on transparency and data quality. You can reach us at: office@targetpoland.com.
Our approach is clear: Metal Navigator significantly speeds up shortlist creation, but it does not replace final supplier qualification, audits or negotiations.
Data transparency
Despite careful work and regular updates, we cannot guarantee that 100% of all information matches the data currently published on company websites – among other reasons, because this information can change over time. Our target is approximately 85–90% accuracy in assigning processes and certificates. This makes it much easier to create a shortlist of suppliers that meet defined requirements. Before making a business decision, we recommend verifying key information directly with the selected supplier.
What does Metal Navigator not replace?
- It does not replace a supplier audit or final qualitative assessment of a company.
- It does not conduct commercial negotiations on behalf of the user.
- It does not guarantee that data is 100% up to date – we always recommend verification.
- It is a tool for fast shortlist creation, while final selection still requires direct contact.
Subscription plans
After registration, every user receives 3 free test searches without export. After that, Basic, Pro and Business plans are available. They differ by search and credit limits, the number of Unlocks and additional features, such as teamwork in higher plans. The logic is transparent: the user pays for access to the data source, while Search, Unlock and Export are available in every option.
A detailed overview of monthly limits and plan features is shown below:
| Plan | Searches / month | Unlocks / month | Filters / scope | Users |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Pro | 200 | 250 | Manufacturing processes, revenue, voivodeships, certificates. | 1 |
| Business | 500 | 500 | Manufacturing processes, revenue, voivodeships, certificates; shared use of the plan allowance. | 3 |
