How Leadber's Scout Engine Finds B2B Leads in Singapore's F&B Sector

Food and beverage is one of Singapore's most active B2B sectors. Distributors, importers, equipment suppliers, and packaging companies are constantly searching for new restaurant groups, hotel chains, and catering operators to supply. The challenge has always been finding the right decision-maker at the right company — at scale.

How the Scout Engine Works

Leadber's Scout Engine accepts a plain-English brief: "Find food and beverage managers at hotel groups in Singapore." From there, it executes a multi-step AI workflow:

1. Query Generation — The engine breaks your brief into dozens of targeted search variations, covering Google Maps, business directories, and industry databases. 2. Crawling and Extraction — Firecrawl retrieves business pages and Leadber's AI extracts structured data: company name, address, phone, email, key personnel, and industry codes. 3. Deduplication — A global hash system ensures the same lead is never surfaced twice across campaigns or workspaces. 4. Quality Filtering — Companies with generic names, no contact information, or mismatched industries are automatically excluded.

The entire process takes between 30 and 90 seconds per batch of 20 leads.

What Makes It Different for F&B

The F&B sector in Singapore has unique characteristics: many operators run multiple brands under holding companies, procurement decisions are centralised, and decision-makers often have WhatsApp as their primary contact channel. Leadber's AI is trained to identify these patterns — surfacing the group purchasing director rather than a single outlet manager.

Results from the Field

Early Leadber users in Singapore's F&B supply sector report building prospecting lists of 500+ qualified leads within their first week, compared to months of manual research previously. WhatsApp outreach to these leads — using Leadber's approved templates — is achieving response rates of 15–25%, well above industry benchmarks.

The Scout Engine is available on all Leadber plans, with country targeting expanding progressively across Southeast Asia.
