Going to the American Coatings Show? Take a look at the exhibitor list on their website. It's nearly 450 exhibitors listed across 180 pages.

No download button. No export option. Just click, scroll, copy, paste, repeat. For 180 pages. That kind of research used to take the better part of three full work days.

For me, it took three minutes. I used an AI browser tool, gave it a few prompts, and it scraped every page, compiled the data, and structured it into a clean spreadsheet.

No coding. No API. No developer on call.

You can see the screenshot below.

This is where chemical distributors can gain an edge. The advantage isn’t the data anymore.

Everyone has access to the same exhibitor lists, the same directories, the same public information. The advantage is speed.

Those who turn raw information into usable intelligence in minutes instead of days wins the meeting, wins the customer, wins the deal.
