How it works

How supplier sourcing works.

From a plain-English need to a vetted, quote-compared shortlist, then outreach and POs in one loop. Here is exactly what happens at each step, and where you stay in control.

01

Describe what you need

Type your requirement in plain English, like 500 organic cotton t-shirts, screen-printed, around $8 a unit, ship to the US. No forms, no taxonomy to learn. The agent parses your sentence into a structured spec: product, quantity, material, target price, MOQ ceiling, destination, and any certifications you want.

  • Plain language in, structured spec out
  • Works for any category and region
  • Example briefs to start from
02

AI finds and vets

The agent matches qualified suppliers and manufacturers to your spec, then cross-checks each one against business registries and customs and trade data, surfaces certifications, and flags risk. It ranks the strongest fits so the shortlist is decision-ready, not a haystack to sift. Matches are AI-assisted suggestions you verify against the evidence shown.

  • Registry and customs cross-checks
  • Certifications surfaced, risk flags shown
  • Ranked by fit to your exact spec
03

Compare quotes, MOQ and lead-time

See unit price, minimum order quantity, lead time, and region for every match in one compare table, with the best cell in each column highlighted. The side-by-side view is the payoff: the trade-offs are obvious at a glance, so you can decide instead of building spreadsheets.

  • Quote, MOQ, lead-time side by side
  • Fit score per supplier
  • Evidence and certs on every card
04

Run outreach and POs in one place

Send qualified RFQs to the suppliers you pick, manage follow-ups so nothing goes dark, and run purchase orders in the same loop as you grow. You keep humans for high-touch negotiation; the agent handles the research, shortlisting, and comparison that used to eat your week.

  • Qualified RFQ outreach
  • Supplier CRM and follow-ups
  • Purchase orders when you need them

What vetting means

We show the evidence so you decide.

Vetting is identity verification, cross-checks against business registries and customs and trade data, surfaced certifications, and risk flags, with the evidence shown. It reduces risk; it does not eliminate it, and it does not replace your own due diligence. We do not run on-site factory audits or quality-control inspections, and suppliers are not endorsed or approved by us.
