Tell us what you buy

You speak with us and we learn what your business is sourcing: the products, brands, models, price ranges and the characteristics that make something worth buying. Every business buys differently, so we start by understanding yours.

We configure Sift

We build and refine the searches around your particular business. Once everything is set up, Sift monitors marketplaces continuously in the background - without someone manually repeating searches.

Sift keeps searching

Sift monitors marketplaces continuously without someone manually repeating searches. Your team doesn't need to refresh pages or run the same searches throughout the day.

Opportunities come directly to you

When Sift finds something that meets your criteria, you receive an alert with the key information and a direct link to the listing. The alert contains enough to quickly decide whether it's worth investigating.

From Sift to your phone.

When an opportunity appears, you don't need to log into another dashboard and search for it. Sift sends the important information directly to you, so you can review the listing and act quickly.

More than a saved search

Saved searches show you matches. Sift helps reduce the work of deciding which listings actually deserve your attention.

Continuous background searching

Sift monitors marketplaces around the clock so you don't have to.

Intelligent filtering

Listings are checked against your exact buying criteria before you see them.

Market context

Relevant listings can be compared against market information to help you spot opportunities.

Targeted alerts

You're notified when something is genuinely worth your attention — not for every listing.

Sift doesn't replace the buyer's judgement. It removes the repetitive work before the decision.
