# All you need to know

### What is companies directory? What companies are there and how to find them?

**Companies directory** is a database of all companies on Roolz, which profiles are public.

The companies directory includes both large organizations and entrepreneurs of all roles: shippers, carriers, forwarders, dispatchers, customs brokers, warehouse operators.

Roolz unites companies that organize, implement and maintain transport logistics. In the companies directory, many users find regular transportation partners and work with them on [a private exchange.](/en/private-exchange-partnerships.md)

Searching for new shippers and carriers is particularly convenient, as there are advanced search filters by company's roles, size, services provided, types of transported goods and route directions.
