What do you like best about ImportYeti?

ImportYeti is fast, simple, and intuitive. The challenge with research is often not knowing what questions to ask to uncover the answers you need. ImportYeti bridges that gap by providing clear, easy-to-understand insights that naturally lead to deeper, more complex details. It reveals gaps and possibilities you didn’t realize existed, sparking more intelligent questions and driving faster, better decision-making. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ImportYeti?

On the free account, I’ve noticed that some data is either missing or seems inaccurate. It would be helpful to include a disclaimer when this happens, such as: ‘We know you rely on us for major decisions. While we’ve done our best, it looks like we don’t have enough data to tell the full story.’ Additionally, when information is available but possibly behind a paywall, clearly communicating this and offering a one-time fee for a downloadable report or an option to upgrade to a subscription would be beneficial. There have been instances where I would have gladly paid for a one-off report to access the needed details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ImportYeti solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a startup, sourcing overseas often feels like navigating a black hole. Many factories and suppliers lack websites, and platforms like Alibaba make it almost impossible to validate their legitimacy. ImportYeti addresses this challenge by enabling me to trace products back to potential manufacturers. From there, I can assess a factory’s credibility by identifying the other companies they supply and even take it a step further to discover who supplies those factories with their parts. Using the free account, I can also analyze estimated shipment volumes to determine if a factory is too small, too large, or the right fit for my company’s needs. ImportYeti turns what was once guesswork into a more transparent and informed sourcing process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Import Yeti helps our teams map supplier/importer relationships, cross-reference like products and the parties involved, estimate volumes for importers, and explore alternative opportunities for prospecting and sourcing resources for our clients. The data sources are accurate, the benefits of the paid tier are exponential. It took our users minutes to start leveraging the data and we are in the tool daily now. The incredible support and feature updates are a testament to the team and their commitment to the app and its users. I’m a big fan, to say the least. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ImportYeti?

Provides a tremendous amount of detail on competitor trade data and presents it in a visually friendly format that facilitates insights and stimulates ideas for thoughtful analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ImportYeti?

Nothing that I dislike. However, it would be great to see this built out for import data related to land crossings as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ImportYeti solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helping me discern the official trade patterns of my suppliers (so i can validate source) and competitors (to better understand their supply chains). With regards to the latter, I was able to use Import Yeti's data to help direct my investigation into my competitor. This investigation inevitably led to the a raid by DHS on my competitor's U.S. subsidiary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't really dislike anything. I wish I could search by supplier to see which companies a supplier shipped to rather than find the supplier by locating a US importer of record that is a customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ImportYeti solving and how is that benefiting you?

Understanding the potential suppliers and which countries they are located in helps us map out a global sourcing strategy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost and ease of use are great. There are innovative trade visualizations and multiple ways to search import records. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not a silver bullet for any inquiry. CBP records are not available for all imports, and BOL data quality varies wildly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ImportYeti solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows us to track our import volume in a different way from our internal records. We can also monitor our vendors and see who they are working with, as well as see who industry leaders are working with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
