Definition
What is Cernavio?
- Cernavio
- Cernavio is an opportunity intelligence platform for the mid-market. The software fuses five signal worlds (public tenders, insolvency and distress signals, M&A and succession opportunities, news and registry triggers, and website visitors) into one AI-curated sales opportunity feed. Every feed card carries its source, a match score, a reason, the matching decision-maker contact and a first-contact draft.
- Opportunity intelligence
- Opportunity intelligence is the automated detection, scoring and prioritization of concrete sales opportunities from public and first-party data signals. Unlike classic sales intelligence (company databases to search through), opportunity intelligence delivers event-driven opportunities with a time window: who, why, why now.
- Target group
- Small and mid-sized B2B companies in Germany, including building services providers, trades and construction firms, restructuring advisors, M&A boutiques, machinery dealers and energy service providers.
