Product sourcing

We find your product from a photo, a link or a description

You send whatever you have — a shot from a trade fair, a marketplace link or a couple of sentences. We come back with a shortlist of real manufacturers, their prices, minimum order quantities and build options.

  • First shortlist in 3–5 days
  • Five options or more
  • Prices quoted for your volume
  • Vetting before you pay

Who it suits

  • You have seen the product but have no idea who makes it.
  • You found it on a marketplace and want the same item straight from the factory.
  • You have a spec but no one to build to it.
  • You need to know whether the product exists within your budget before planning a purchase.

What you get

A shortlist of manufacturers with prices, MOQs and lead times.
A comparison of build options — what the price difference actually buys.
The real minimum order quantity, not the one printed in the listing.
A next step: request a sample or work out the full landed cost.

Frequent questions

Usually yes. The more detail is visible — material, fixings, packaging — the sharper the shortlist. If the photo does not identify the product, we say so straight away instead of sending you lookalikes.

Terms depend on how complex the request is and how large the purchase will be. A one-off search and ongoing supply support are priced differently — we quote once we understand the task.

It happens: the listing may price a different configuration or a different order size. We break the difference down so you are comparing like with like.

Yes, but the minimum order is the factory’s limit, not ours. We will tell you plainly if a maker will not start a line for your volume, and offer options with a lower MOQ.
