We're adding capacity for stainless parts. Can your fiber lasers handle 6 mm? I'd like to discuss options.
A name and an email are enough to start.
Company size, industry, location, and relevant contacts, added to every lead. Your rep starts with a company profile, not a blank record.
Precision manufacturing · Germany
Revenue estimate found. Held for verification before scoring.
Website, news, certifications, and buying signals. Every finding keeps its source, so your team can see exactly what we found.

“We manufacture CNC precision components for medical technology and aerospace applications.”
Manufactures parts for two of your target industries.
Revenue €15–25M Unverified · excluded from score
Example excerpts. In a real brief, each finding links to its source.
Trained on your criteria during onboarding, every lead gets a fit score with per-criterion reasoning and disqualifiers. Anything unverified is flagged, never invented.
Precision manufacturing · Germany

Precision manufacturing · Germany
Adding a second production line. Asked about fiber lasers for 6 mm stainless. Lead with capacity and cut quality.
We turn your questionnaire or interview into scoring rules: who's in scope, what counts as a buying signal, and what rules a lead out. Every score shows its reasons.
Weight new production lines, capacity expansion, and hiring for machine operators in the last 6 months. A quote request for fiber or tube lasers is a strong signal on its own.

A single industrial order runs into the tens or hundreds of thousands. Plans start at $49/mo, sized to your monthly lead volume. Cancel anytime.
For comparison: 50 leads a month × 30 min of research at ~$30/hr is $750 a month spent googling.
Those tools give you data: firmographic fields, contact records, or a DIY enrichment table you build and maintain yourself. Varento delivers a decision: a researched brief scored against your ideal customer profile, sent to the right rep, with every claim sourced. We do the setup and upkeep; you don't learn a tool. And it runs alongside what you already have; it doesn't replace your CRM, your marketing automation, or your data subscriptions.
You tell us, and we adjust your scoring criteria. That's part of the service, not a support ticket. Because every score comes with per-criterion reasoning and sources, you can see why it scored the way it did and point at the exact criterion that's off. Scoring gets sharper with every correction.
Yes. The research reads the prospect's website and news in whatever language they're written in. Briefs come back in English regardless of the source language.
During onboarding we send you a questionnaire or interview your team to define your ICP together: the industries, company sizes, certifications, applications, and disqualifiers that matter in your niche. That trains the AI on your specific criteria and builds a lead scoring and qualification method suited to your business. When your ICP changes, we update it as part of the service.
For a list upload: a CSV with company names or websites. For CRM mode: access to set up the Salesforce connection (we do the setup) and one working session to define your ICP.
Salesforce only. We build for manufacturers on Salesforce, so the integration goes deep instead of wide. If you work from spreadsheets, the list-upload mode covers you.
In CRM mode, under two minutes from the moment the lead is created. List uploads come back by email, usually the same business day.
That's exactly why every claim in a brief links to its source: the company's own website, news, or business data providers. The fit score is recomputed outside the AI from verified criteria only; anything without a source is marked "couldn't verify" and excluded from the score, not invented. You can audit any brief in 30 seconds.
No. It's a purpose-built pipeline: enrichment from business data providers, structured research of each company's site and news, and a scoring model configured to your specific ICP criteria, with source-checking guardrails a chat prompt doesn't have. The AI is the engine; the manufacturing-specific setup and verification around it is the product.
Yes. All data processed with our AI is encrypted in transit and at rest, and used only to produce your briefs. None of it is used for any other purpose: not for training AI models, not for resale, never shared with anyone.
Three plans (Starter, Pro, Pro+) where you pick your monthly lead volume and the price adjusts, starting at $49/mo. See the pricing page for what each includes. No long-term contract.
Speed, consistency, and honesty. A research VA takes 20–30 minutes per lead, produces copy-pasted About-page text, and never tells you when they're guessing. Varento returns a structured brief in under two minutes, applies the same ICP criteria to every lead, flags anything it couldn't verify, and links every claim to a source you can check.
