Reverse Sourcing
We find your competitor’s manufacturer, then help you outmaneuver them. Faster. Cheaper. Smarter.
What is Reverse Sourcing?
Reverse Sourcing isn’t just about launching a similar product; it’s about gaining insider intelligence on your competition.
By identifying their factory, you gain insights into their:
Production Methods
Understanding how your competitor’s product is made helps you identify opportunities to lower costs, improve quality, or speed up turnaround times through better materials or automation.
Manufacturing Capacity
Knowing a factory’s capacity gives you insight into how much volume your competitor can handle—helping you predict stockouts, scale faster, or take over unused capacity.
Geographic Vulnerabilities
Revealing where your competitor manufactures uncovers risks like political instability, shipping delays, or tariffs, giving you a chance to outmaneuver them with a more resilient setup.
Supply Chain Strengths & Weaknesses

Frequently Asked Questions
If you need further assistance, feel free to reach out to our team!
Is reverse sourcing legal?
Yes. We use public import records and supplier connections to match you with manufacturers who are not bound by exclusivity. If a factory does have an agreement in place, that’s their responsibility, not yours. We help confirm this during negotiation to keep everything transparent.
Can I get exclusivity with the manufacturer?
Yes, we’ll help you negotiate territory exclusivity or volume-based protection when available.
What if I want to change the product?
Perfect. We can help you iterate, improve, or rebrand the product to align with your brand identity.
How much does it cost?
We charge a flat rate to find the supplier. Additional services are optional but available.
How long does it take to find the supplier?
Most of our clients receive their verified supplier report in under 7 business days—many in as little as 48 hours.
What if I’m not sure which product to target?
No problem. We’ll help you evaluate opportunities based on what’s trending, what’s vulnerable, and what you can realistically outperform.
Will the manufacturer work with me if they already work with my competitor?
In many cases, yes. Most manufacturers are not bound by exclusivity and welcome new business. We’ll guide you through the right approach to avoid conflict and gain leverage.
Can you help with manufacturing, packaging, or logistics after the supplier is found?
Absolutely. Our team can manage everything from negotiation and sampling to packaging, QA, and international shipping.
