Panjiva, part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, aggregates customs and shipment records from many countries into a searchable supply chain intelligence platform.
It is widely used by analysts, investors and large enterprises to map supplier networks and track trade flows.
Best for

- Investors and analysts tracking trade
- Large forwarders mapping trade lanes
Strengths

- Supplier and buyer relationship mapping
- Backed by S&P Global data infrastructure

Limitations

- Contact level data is not the focus
- Overkill for a sales rep who wants a few good emails
Pricing
Enterprise, quote based.
For selling to international shippers
Excellent visibility into who trades with whom. Turning that into outreach still needs a contact layer.
Verdict
A research powerhouse for big teams. Not a fast lookalike prospecting tool.
Where SimilarContact is different
Quality, not volume
You get one to three verified contacts per lookup, not a list of thousands to clean up.
Similar to what you want
Matches are picked by industry, company size and location against the prospect you already like.
Built for engagement and intent
Contacts come from companies with real international freight, so the odds of a reply are much higher.
