Without racon
- A bought list that is two years old
- A pitch that could be sent to anyone
- You hear about the migration after the contract is signed
- Nobody knows which of 800 accounts to call first
Sales intelligence for IT service providers
Call the week they switch. Not the week after your competitor did.
Every company leaves a trail: a mail system that moves to the cloud, ten new IT roles, a server that runs out of support. racon reads those traces for 160+ million domains and for every company on your list, and hands you the ones that are ready to talk, with the proof.

Markets do not change overnight. They leave signals first.
A warehouse opens. Ten engineering roles appear. A mail system moves to the cloud. A new technology chief is named. None of it is secret, and almost none of it reaches you in time.
racon watches for the traces, so your next conversation starts at the moment it matters.
The difference
Two ways to spend Monday morning.
With racon
- A short list, ranked by fit and timing
- An opening line from a real, dated event
- You see the mail move the week it happens
- Every claim shows its source, so you can check before you call
Signals
Three kinds of reason to call.
A good first call has a reason. racon looks for the three that matter most when you sell IT services, and keeps them apart so you know what you are walking into.
Mail, hosting or web platform moves
A company that just changed provider is in a decision phase: contracts reopen, partners are reviewed. racon sees the move in public records, often before anyone announces it.
Hiring, new sites, new leadership
Open IT roles, a second location or a new technology chief all mean budget and attention. Each one is shown with the page it came from.
End of support, budget season
Systems that run out of support create a date that cannot be moved. racon turns lifecycle dates into a countdown for each company.
What you can find
Pick the moment. racon finds the companies.
Each of these is a reason to call that you can act on today. Open one to see what the signal looks like and how racon finds it.
Mail moved to Microsoft 365 or Google
A company that just changed its mail platform is in a decision phase. See who moved this week, in your region.
See the signal →Systems that run out of support
Windows Server, databases, firewalls: a date that cannot be moved creates a budget. racon turns it into a countdown per company.

See the signal →How it works
From a list to a short list, in three moves.
- 01
Bring a list
Drop in a CSV or Excel sheet, in any language and any column order. racon works out what each column means and asks only when it is unsure. A name is enough to begin; a website helps.
- 02
Let it read
For every company, a fleet of small, patient collectors reads its own website, public registers, news and job pages, and the way its internet is built. Plain scripts do the work. AI is the last resort, not the first.
- 03
See who is ready
Each company is scored against what you sell, on two axes: fit and timing. The ones that are strong on both rise to the top, with the reasons beside them.

This is what one company looks like.
A made-up company, shown the way racon shows a real one: scores on two axes, every signal with its source, a timeline, and a first sentence you can say out loud.

Fit and timing
Two questions, answered separately.
Is this the kind of company that needs what you sell? And is something happening that makes now the moment? A perfect fit with no momentum can wait. A restless company that does not fit is noise. racon keeps the two apart, so the list you work from is short and honest.
Fits, and something is moving
A strong match and a live trigger such as hiring, expansion or a platform change. Call these first.
Fits, but it is quiet
The right kind of company with nothing happening yet. racon keeps watching, so you do not have to.
Moving, but not a fit yet
Plenty of activity, thin match. Worth a look if your offering grows, or their plans change.
Evidence
No black boxes.
Every signal comes with its source and the sentence it was found in. When racon could not find something out, it says unknown and never pretends a missing answer is a "no". You can argue with a score, because you can see where it came from.
- Each clue links to the page it came from
- Unknown is kept apart from "does not apply"
- Timing fades as news and hiring get old
- Your own notes and corrections always win
Make it yours
Teach racon what you sell, in minutes.
There are no rules to write. Answer plain questions: who buys, what they run today, what tells you the moment is right. Mark each clue as nice to have, important or critical. racon turns your answers into a scoring model, previews it on your own list, and lets you tune it until the order looks right to you.
Today racon speaks fluent digital services. Tomorrow, wherever companies leave traces.

Built on open records, not on guesses.
The core of racon is a data set of the public internet: for each domain, which mail provider it uses, which services show in its DNS, which networks it sits in and when that last changed. It is read again and again by our own scanners. You do not buy a list that was true once. You get a feed that moves.
Principles
A good guest on the web.
Polite by design
Our crawler introduces itself as RaconBot and points to a public page. It obeys robots.txt, keeps to about one request per second for each site, and never scrapes LinkedIn.
Your list stays yours
Every workspace is separated from every other at the database level. Our administrators see usage numbers, not your companies. When we need to look at your account to help, it is read-only and written to an audit log.
Delete means delete
Ask, and your account and everything in it is erased. No archive tucked away somewhere. All we keep is a record that the deletion happened.
Scripts first, AI last
Ordinary, inspectable code does the research, because it is cheaper, faster and explainable. A language model is reserved for the gaps scripts cannot fill, and today none of your data goes to one.
Bring your list. See the first answers today.
The free plan researches 10 companies from your own list, so you see what racon finds before you decide anything. If you want more, start with a 30-day pilot.

Questions
Good to know.
What do I need to start?
A list of companies. Names are enough; websites make the research much better. Upload CSV or Excel, in whichever language and column order you have. You can also bring research files in JSON.
What is the pilot?
Thirty days with every feature for five people. You bring your company list and tell us what you sell; at the end you get a ranked short list, briefings for the best matches and the deadlines that apply. If you subscribe afterwards, the pilot fee is credited against your first invoices.
What counts as a researched company?
A company counts once per month however many checks run on it. Companies you already researched this month keep updating. The free plan counts in total, not per month.
Where does the information come from?
From each company's own website, public registers such as Wikidata, news, job pages, and public internet records such as DNS. Paid data sources may become optional add-ons later; nothing paid is used on your behalf without you choosing it.
Do you use LinkedIn?
No scraping. racon can give you a search link that opens in your own browser, and it uses a LinkedIn page address if the company itself publishes it.
How accurate is it?
Public information is messy, and racon says so. Every claim shows its source, doubtful matches are flagged for review, and gaps are marked unknown. Treat it as a very well-informed colleague who shows their working, and check before you call.
Who can see my companies?
You and the people you invite to your account. Our administrators see counts, not names. Looking into an account for support is read-only and written to an audit log.
Can I stop RaconBot visiting my website?
Yes. Add a rule for RaconBot to your robots.txt, or write to us. The details are on the RaconBot page.
