Case study 01

How we identified a brand's direct manufacturer and reduced its unit cost by 14.8%

A 15,000-box order was hidden behind a China-based fulfilment intermediary that refused to disclose the factory. We traced the source, kept the same custom packaging, and negotiated direct pricing from $5.40 down to $4.60 per box.
