Every number defined

Each of these is one measurement with one definition. The definition matters more than the figure, because the same number reported two ways is how a company loses a reader.

$150M+
In goods value sourced

Cumulative value of goods sourced and purchased for clients. This is what Importivity bought on their behalf. It is not client revenue and must not be reported as sales.

1,000+
Vetted manufacturers

Factories in the network that have been through vetting, across 9 manufacturing regions.

20+
People across 7 countries

Headcount counting both full-time staff and contractors, which is why the wording is people rather than employees.

31%
Average landed cost saved

Published conservatively. The measured average across the sample is 45%. Importivity prints the lower figure because it is the one it will defend line by line.

How the 31% saving was measured

Measured across 32 clients with a complete data set, comparing Importivity landed cost, net of our fees, against the invoices or supplier prices each client gave us for what they were paying before. The measured average is 45%. We publish 31% because that is the number we will defend line by line.

The full method, the sample and the exclusions are on the trust center.

Boilerplate

Three lengths, written to be pasted without editing. Please use one of these rather than a summary, so the same company description appears everywhere.

Spelling and style

  • Importivity, one word, capital I. Never Importivity Inc or Importivity Ltd.
  • The $150M+ figure is goods value sourced for clients. It is not revenue, client sales or sales generated, and has been misreported as all three.
  • People across 7 countries, not employees. The count includes contractors.
  • Source With Jordan in prose. The handle is @sourcewithjordan, lowercase.

Brand assets

The pack carries both logo versions as transparent PNGs, the leadership headshots, the boilerplate as plain text, and this page's rules as a README.

821 x 304 PNG, transparent.

Importivity reversed logo

Reversed, for dark backgrounds

1200 x 400 PNG, transparent.

Colours

  • Brand cyan #00B1E2
    The accent. Buttons, links, the mark.
  • Cyan light #39C3E9
    The lighter end of the button gradient.
  • Ink #0B1220
    Headings and the navy in the wordmark.
  • Ink mid #334155
    Body copy.

Using the logo

  • Do not stretch it, recolour it, rotate it or add effects to it.
  • Leave clear space around it of at least the height of the ship mark.
  • Smallest usable width is 30mm in print and 150px on screen.
  • On a dark ground use the reversed version rather than putting the primary one in a box.
  • There is no vector master and no standalone icon. If you need the logo above about 1200px wide, write to [email protected] rather than upscaling it.

What we can talk about

Subjects we have a named person and a published position on, so a call goes somewhere.

Tariffs and landed cost

Section 301, IEEPA, HTS classification and what a duty change does to a small brand's margin inside one quarter.

Moving production out of China

What a Vietnam or Mexico shift actually costs, how long it takes, and where it goes wrong.

How factory vetting really works

Trading company versus manufacturer, what an audit catches and what it does not.

Sourcing for small brands

Why a system built for volume buyers fails a company ordering its first container.

Publishing your own numbers

Why Importivity prints a 31% saving when it measured 45%, and what happens to trust when a claim is checkable.

If we get something wrong, tell us and we will correct it here and say that we did. Every figure on this page is re-measured rather than carried forward, and each one carries its own measurement date, which [email protected] will give you for any figure here. A number given from memory is an estimate, and we do not print estimates.
