How Kodo spots a need for tools.
Tools are needed when a new product, a new line or a new customer arrives. It is public, you just have to read it.
What does not fit is dropped, with a reason: companies with their own tool shop for your processes, dealers, your existing customers.

How we check every statement.
Kodo puts nothing on the list that we cannot back up. This is the record behind a single line.
- FoundThe source with its date. Not a directory, the source itself.
- QuotedThe sentence the statement rests on, taken word for word.
- CheckedA second step checks whether the quote appears word for word on the page. If it does not, the statement is dropped.
- ContactFrom the legal notice, team page or commercial register, with role. We check whether the person still works there.
- KeptContacts we cannot confirm again within 24 months are deleted.

How does Kodo know which processes a company runs?
From the company’s service pages, machine and equipment lists, data sheets and PDF brochures. Every statement comes with its source.
What about companies with their own tool shop?
They are dropped with that reason if their tool shop covers your processes. Services such as maintenance or coating can still be relevant to them; tell us in the call.
