How it works

Scout finds it out

Salespeople don’t want to go looking for leads. They want qualified leads to arrive. Describe your ideal customer once, and Scout does the research, checks it, and hands you leads worth your time.

The idea

Fresh. Verified. Under your control.

Fresh

A database is a printed map: right on the day it was made, but roads change and it can’t tell you. Scout is satnav. It does the research when you search, so what you see reflects today.

Researched today, not last year.

Verified

UK companies come straight from the Companies House register, with legal name, SIC codes and registered details. Companies found on the open web are checked for fit and for closure, with the source shown.

Found and checked, not just found.

Under your control

Nothing reaches your CRM until you approve it, and it’s duplicate-checked on the way in. Approved prospects sync to HubSpot, and outreach goes from your own Outlook mailbox.

Nothing moves without your say-so.

Four steps

You make the calls that matter.

Scout does the searching, checking and scheduling around them.

01

Describe your best customer once

Set the industry, place, company size and any keywords that matter. Save it as a search and run it whenever you like — no rebuilding the brief each time.

  • Reusable, named searches
  • Run one straight from the saved search
  • Results stay tied to the search that found them
02

Scout does the research when you ask

There’s no stored list behind the search. Scout looks at the UK Companies House register and the open web at that moment, judges each company against your description, and shows why it matched.

  • Companies House: UK company records, straight from the register
  • Open web: wider reach, with the source shown
  • Every company shows why it matched
03

You decide what’s real

Companies and the people to talk to at each one land in a review queue, not your CRM. Approve, reject or merge duplicates. Before anything is created, Scout checks HubSpot for a possible existing match and lets you link instead of making a copy.

  • A suggested role for each contact
  • Emails and phone numbers shown with their source
  • HubSpot duplicate check on every approval
04

Outreach that comes from you

Build a message template or a multi-step sequence and send it through your own connected Outlook mailbox, so replies land in your inbox. Nothing sends to a contact you haven’t approved.

  • Sequences send from your own Outlook account
  • Run research and enrolment on a schedule if you want to
  • Map and saved lists stay current per search

Where the company data comes from

The Companies House register gives UK company records — legal name, SIC codes, registered details. The open web adds reach beyond the register, with an AI model judging fit, screening out companies that have closed, and citing its source for every result. Scout is strongest for UK companies; web search can also surface companies further afield.

How you find the right person

Once a company is approved, Scout looks for the people likely to be involved in a buying decision there and suggests a role for each — so outreach can be aimed at the right person, not just the switchboard.

How Scout is different

Run the side-by-side test.

Put the same search through your current tool and through Scout, and keep whichever wins. Here’s how each kind of tool works.

Apollo, Lusha, ZoomInfo, Cognism

Contact databases

They sell stored data that starts going stale the day it’s collected. Scout researches fresh every time.

Origami and similar

Live web scrapers

Fresh is only half the job. Scout also checks companies against official records, and waits for your approval before anything hits your CRM.

Clay

DIY research builders

Same fresh research, without building tables, formulas or workflows.

Endole, DataGardener

UK company data tools

Great company data, but no contacts and no way to act on it. Scout turns verified companies into prospects you can actually reach.

Built for control

Every step shows its work.

Nothing moves from the review queue to your CRM or an inbox on its own. Every suggestion — a company match, a contact’s role, a possible duplicate — comes with its reasoning and evidence, so approving is a real decision, not a rubber stamp.
