Find the transformers before they’re listed.
We track plant closures, bankruptcies and surplus auctions across the industrial belt, score them for likely transformer assets, and route them to your purchasing team with the contact and the distance to your nearest shop.
This is a real lead from our radar. You’d have had it when the WARN notice posted — weeks before the effective date, and before this plant appeared on any listing site.
How it works
| We watch | Public WARN filings, bankruptcy dockets, government surplus auctions and industrial property listings across the industrial belt. |
| We qualify | Every filing is scored for likely transformer assets — facility type, NAICS, closure type, size. Retail and offices never reach you. |
| We locate | Each lead is geocoded and distance-scored against your facilities, not ours. A closure 44 miles from your shop scores differently than one 340 miles away. |
| We route | Leads arrive in your inbox daily, or in your CRM. Your purchasing team never logs into anything. |
What makes it different
Pricing
| Regional | Multi-region | Territory exclusive |
|---|---|---|
| One facility, one state | 3–7 facilities | Sole feed in your region |
| $500 / mo | $1,500 / mo | $3,000 / mo |
Territory exclusive means we don’t sell the same region twice. If you take it, your competitors don’t get these leads.
See it on your region first.
We’ll walk you through a live lead in your territory, then send you two weeks of qualified leads scored against your facilities. If the list is worth your purchasing team’s time, we’ll talk about a subscription.
No contract. No card. It arrives as email.

Padfinder is operated by [legal entity] in Chagrin Falls, Ohio. We built the radar to source transformers ourselves, which is why it’s scored the way a buyer would score it rather than the way a data company would.
