Forestreet vs TradeKey

Forestreet is vendor and market discovery software for procurement professionals mapping suppliers across categories and geographies. Natural-language searches find suppliers by capability and location, with global supplier coverage listed. RapidReview lets users inspect suggested vendors’ websites within the platform, and results adapt to their review choices. Company and product details can include size, revenue, capability, and location. For supplier comparisons, its AI proposes a capability framework that users can edit without a stated limit. The ESG feature analyzes related articles across 26 risk areas for public and private companies. Forestreet also searches and indexes news sources to surface market stories, sentiment, and analysis. Users can export research data as a market report. The product is available through web and API access; API documentation describes connecting a market to an internal system with an API hook or integrating Forestreet into internal applications using an iFrame. Forestreet technology powers Beroe’s Supplier Discovery module within Beroe Live.ai. Founded in 2017, the company is headquartered in London, UK. The site directs prospective customers to request a demo and does not state a price. The demo page lists [email protected] as a contact email.
