01 — The problem
Every alternative has one crucial catch.
Before Kodo was created, we tried all the options — and each one fails in the same way.
International databases (Apollo, ZoomInfo)
Strong platforms — for the US market. DACH data is incomplete, commercial registers unknown, SMEs not represented.
DACH platforms (Echobot, Dealfront)
DACH data available, but no AI analysis, no market reports, no signal tracking. Expensive — and still no real intelligence layer.
Strategy Consulting
Consultant quality — but €15,000+ and 3 weeks lead time per analysis. No live signals, no scaling, no self-service.
Kodo
The Consultant in a Box
DACH data + AI analysis + live buyer signals — in one tool. What a consultant delivers in 3 weeks, Kodo delivers in 20 minutes. Fully automated, scalable, no onboarding.
Unlike Apollo or ZoomInfo, Kodo doesn't buy stale US-database addresses — and unlike Echobot or Dealfront, Kodo crawls every company website and PDF brochure live and reads out machine parks, processes and certificates. Generic firmographics databases structurally cannot capture that.
02 — The assistant
An assistant that shows how it thinks.
Black boxes breed mistrust — especially in technical sales. The Kodo assistant lays out its search plan, justifies every search term and tells you what it filtered out and why.
A plan instead of a black box
Justified search steps
Before the search you see the plan: which terms, which filters, which sources — and why. You can intervene before any credits are spent.
Knowledge graph
Verified hits
Companies Kodo has already analyzed in depth are marked as verified. Every analysis makes the graph smarter — and your next search faster.
Transparency
Filtered out — with rationale
Distributors, portals, wrong size: Kodo shows what was dropped and why. You see the quality of the selection, not just the final result.

FAQ
Common questions before you start
What sales leaders scaling with Kodo today ask.
Who is Kodo Leads for?
Kodo Leads is built for B2B sales teams in mechanical engineering, plant construction and industrial companies — wherever prospects must be qualified by technical criteria. Kodo crawls live websites and PDF documents, detects products, applications and certificates, and scores leads automatically against your ICP.
What is the difference between Kodo Leads and generic B2B databases (e.g. Echobot, Dealfront)?
Kodo Leads crawls live websites and PDF documents and extracts technical content — products, processes, applications and certificates — that generic databases structurally cannot capture.
Is Kodo Leads GDPR-compliant?
Yes, absolutely. Kodo Leads works exclusively with publicly available information collected from company websites, public directories, PDF downloads, and the European commercial register. We maintain a compliant architecture entirely without questionable US data brokers.
When is the switch to the software worth it?
As soon as your sales or procurement team wastes more than 20 minutes per lead on manual research (clicking through websites, hunting imprints), you're burning money on inefficient processes. Kodo Leads cuts that 45-minute effort to under 2 minutes per target through live pre-qualification.
Stop searching for needles in haystacks.
Identify exactly those companies that really need your industrial value creation in 15 minutes.
