Building-materials distributors use catalog.xmap.ai to find every contractor, hardware retailer, and trade business worth stocking their line, and to site distribution yards where trade demand actually clusters.
Export every contractor and trade business in a target territory.
Find independent and chain hardware dealers worth carrying a materials line.
Site a new yard where contractor density supports efficient delivery routes.
Spot growth corridors by tracking new business openings tied to construction activity.
catalog.xmap.ai is a self-serve database of 140M+ real business locations across 40+ countries. Every record is an actual, physically-located business (not an estimate) with up to 36 structured fields: name, full address, latitude/longitude, category (three levels deep), brand and chain affiliation, hours of operation, phone and website, star rating and review count, open/closed status, and more.
You filter the catalog by category, brand, or geography in a live web interface, watch the matching record count update as you narrow the search, and export the results as a clean CSV file, ready to open in a spreadsheet, load into GIS software, or join against your own data.
The dataset refreshes every 30 days, so an export reflects recent openings, closures, and changes rather than a static snapshot from years ago.
| Field | Type | Why it matters here |
|---|---|---|
| category_level_1–3 | string | Separates contractors, trade specialists, and hardware retail |
| address / city / zip | string | Organizes accounts into delivery routes and rep territories |
| phone / website | string | Builds a contactable outreach list for territory reps |
| open_status | string | Flags newly opened trade businesses worth a fresh pitch |
A building-materials distributor exports every contractor and trade business across three candidate regions, picks the site with the densest contractor cluster within a 30-minute delivery radius, and builds the route plan from the same export.
