SAM · Next-generation sourcing

No more middlemen.
Meet the next-generation
sourcing agent
built to move faster.

Finding a factory is easy. Finding one with the right price, quality, and reliability is not. SAM benchmarks your current cost or structures a new-product brief, filters for real fit, and runs parallel RFQs you can compare side by side. Human judgment protects the final commercial decision.

How SAM works

Benchmark → compare → decide

The problem SAM solves

Find the right factory—not just another factory.

Factories are easy to find. A supplier that is genuinely competitive, capable, reliable, and right for your product takes better comparison.

Same brief. Parallel quotes. Visible trade-offs.

The difference

No hidden factory commission. No mystery shortlist.

SAM is paid by the buyer. The system searches wider, contacts suppliers on the same brief, and makes the comparison visible. AI helps the operation move faster; human judgment protects the commercial decision.

01Buyer-alignedNo incentive to push the supplier with the highest commission or markup.
02Comparable by designThe same request and criteria create a decision you can actually compare.
03Transparent throughoutYou see the shortlist, supplier responses, trade-offs, and recommended next steps.
Common questions

Before you start sourcing.

Does SAM take commission from factories?

No. SAM uses a buyer-paid project fee so the shortlist is built around fit rather than supplier kickbacks.

Is SAM fully automated?

No. AI supports matching, data organization, outreach operations, and comparison. Human review evaluates fit, risk, response quality, and commercial logic.

Can SAM benchmark my current supplier price?

Yes. If you already have a product and supplier, SAM can start by structuring the existing specifications and testing whether the current price, MOQ, lead time, and terms are competitive.
