Sourcing

We find the real factory —
and bring it to your door.

When a listing check isn’t enough, our buyer-only team takes it from brief to delivery — finding the genuine source factory, proving it with evidence, and running the order on your side of the table.

Why our sourcing is different

Evidence-led sourcing, on the buyer’s side.

Most sourcing agents earn a margin from the factory they put in front of you. We don’t. Traderify is paid by the buyer, and only the buyer — so every supplier we shortlist is chosen on hard evidence, not on who pays the bigger commission.

Tell us the product and the spec. We identify candidate source factories, screen out the traders and shell accounts, and hand you a shortlist with the proof behind each name. You see the same evidence we do — the decision stays yours.

The sourcing industry has a conflict of interest. We removed it.

Traditional agents are paid twice — a fee from you, and a commission from the supplier they steer you toward. You never see the real factory price, and “verification” means whatever closes the deal.

What you get
01Fast

A screened shortlist in days, not weeks.

A photo, a link, or a sample is enough to start. For a clear brief, we come back with a screened shortlist of candidate source factories — typically within 24–48 hours.

02Real factories

We separate makers from middlemen.

Anyone can call themselves a factory. We check the evidence behind the claim — business-registry records, patents, insured-employee headcount and export licenses — and flag the shell accounts and traders posing as manufacturers.

03Proven exporters

Proof they’ve actually shipped to your market.

It’s one thing for a factory to say it can export. We surface customs records that show whether it actually has — and to which countries.

04On the record

No black box.

Every spec, quote and supplier exchange is documented and shared with you as the project moves — you hold the same evidence trail we do, from first brief to final decision.

05End to end

From shortlist to your door.

Need more than a shortlist? The same team negotiates, orders samples, inspects production on the ground, and manages freight through to delivery — every step on the buyer’s side of the table.

How it works

Here’s how a sourcing engagement runs, end to end.

01 · Brief

Tell us what you need

Product, specs, target price and volume — a photo, a link, or a sample is enough to start.

02 · Discover

Find candidate factories

We identify real source factories that genuinely make your product — not the middlemen reselling it.

03 · Verify

Vet & shortlist

Each candidate goes through the same evidence checks as a KYB report, so you only talk to real makers.

04 · Negotiate

Price & sample

We negotiate on your behalf, order samples, and confirm quality before any large commitment.

05 · Inspect

Check the goods

Production and pre-shipment inspection on the ground, so what ships is what you agreed.

06 · Ship

Produce & deliver

We manage production and freight through to delivery — coordinated, on your side.

Start with what you have.

A photo, a link, or a sample — that’s enough for a first brief. We’ll review and email your next steps, typically within 1 business day.
