Supplier sourcing
Manufacturers and wholesalers shortlisted, audited and referenced before you commit.
3–5 weeksThe sourcing office you don't have to hire
Hand us the supplier side.
Studios, furniture retailers and online home stores send us a product and a deadline. We come back with who can make it, what it lands at, and when it arrives.
No supplier commissions. You see the factory's own quote. Fee agreed first. Never a slice of your order value. Your suppliers. Contracts and tooling in your name.
The argument
Buying without a buying office, and with one
Without
- Supplier found at a trade fair, checked on a website
- Costing stops at the unit price, then freight and returns eat it
- Quality judged from a photo the supplier chose to send
- The delivery date is discovered once the order is late
- Terms come straight off the supplier's template
With us
- Shortlist audited on capacity, certification and financial health
- Landed cost modelled per line before a purchase order exists
- Written specification, approved sample, inspector in the factory
- A dated plan with the slack built in where it belongs
- Purchase terms that put tooling and liability on the right side
Capabilities
Take one. Or hand over the whole function.
Cost and margin
Landed cost per line: unit, tooling, freight, duty, damages, and the price that clears your margin.
2–4 weeksQuality programme
A written standard, an approved reference sample, inspectors reporting with photographs.
Per orderLogistics planning
Freight compared on total cost, packaging redesigned, deliveries booked around your storage.
Per shipmentContracts and risk

Three versions of the same problem
- Who sends it
- Interior design studios, usually mid-project.
- What we do
- Find the maker, agree the specification, run sampling, then hold the delivery date against your install programme.
- What comes back
- A bespoke piece on site at a price the client already approved, and one contact instead of five.
- Who sends it
- Furniture retailers, four to six months before a launch.
- What we do
- Shortlist and audit suppliers, model landed cost per line, size the order to your cash flow, inspect before the balance is paid.
- What comes back
- A range plan you can merchandise against, with a defensible margin on every line.
- Who sends it
- Online home stores watching returns climb.
- What we do
- Rework packaging and freight, enforce a written quality standard, rebuild replenishment on lead times that are real.
- What comes back
- Lower delivered cost per unit, fewer breakages, a restock calendar that holds.
