  1. 01 What your company does 0:00

    What your company does is where ArmorList learns who you are, for every manufacturer, supplier, lab and service company. Choose your segments from thirteen, and the specialisations you work on.

  2. 02 What you can do 0:12

    Under What you can do, declare your capabilities: products, threat levels, standards and quality system. Capacity, minimum order, turnaround and brands carried are shown only to accounts with a plan.

  3. 03 Who you connect with 0:25

    From your segments, ArmorList knows who buys what you offer and which suppliers you may need. Those connections drive your suggestions, your Discover shortcuts and your opportunities.

  4. 04 Connections 0:37

    Connections lists companies that fit alongside yours. Each suggestion stands on a fact, and says which: both list hard armor, both have a location in Texas, or a NASPO price list.

  5. 05 An introduction 0:49

    Request an introduction, with a line on why. It counts once against your plan, and contact details open only when both sides accept.

  6. 06 Invite to ArmorList 0:58

    Working with someone who is not on ArmorList yet? Invite them. The invitation is emailed in your name, joining is free, and it never uses your plan.

  7. 07 Say what you do 1:08

    Say what you do, and the network comes to you.
