Global supply chains have become fragile—any blockage, tariff or conflict can halt production and spike costs. Proxima offers a searchable database of nearby industrial suppliers to help companies switch from distant, fragile routes to resilient regional partnerships.
- Proxima is a $150/user/month SaaS that indexes North American suppliers to help companies replace fragile long-distance supply chains with regional ones.
- Its edge is data scale—scraping government contracts, import/export records, and reviews to build a database legacy players like Thomasnet can't easily replicate.
- It uses free tools (a "Supply Chain Fragility Calculator," niche SEO landing pages, an open-sourced Python scraper) to attract engineering teams and build credibility.
- Built on FastAPI/Next.js with BeautifulSoup/Scrapy scraping, Pandas processing, and PostgreSQL full-text search.
