Frequently Asked Questions
If you need further assistance, feel free to reach out to our team!
What are supply chain resources?
Supply chain resources are tools, templates, and guides that help businesses manage sourcing, logistics, and procurement more effectively. At Importivity, our resources include free sourcing templates, procurement checklists, and manufacturing guides designed to save time, cut costs, and reduce errors.
Are these resources really free to use?
Yes. All of the resources in our library; such as the BOM Template, RFQ Template, and Landed Cost Calculator are 100% free. You can download, customize, and use them immediately without cost or obligation.
Who should use these procurement resources?
These tools are designed for:
Startups preparing their first overseas production run
Growing brands scaling supply chains
Established companies looking to improve efficiency or reduce tariffs
Anyone working with suppliers, manufacturers, or logistics providers will benefit.
How do I use the Bill of Materials (BOM) Template?
Our BOM Template helps you organize every component of your product, including supplier, quantity, and cost. Simply enter your product details into the spreadsheet. You can then attach this BOM when sending an RFQ, ensuring you receive accurate, comparable quotes from multiple suppliers.
Why is an RFQ template important?
Without a structured RFQ, suppliers may quote differently, making it impossible to compare apples to apples. Our free RFQ template standardizes your requests so every supplier responds with consistent pricing and details; saving time and preventing costly misunderstandings.
How accurate is the Landed Cost Calculator?
The calculator is designed to provide a close estimate of your true landed cost, factoring in shipping, duties, tariffs, and other charges. While actual costs may vary slightly, it gives you the clarity you need to protect your margins before committing to production.
Can I share these manufacturing tools with my team?
Absolutely. Many clients share our checklists and calculators internally to standardize their processes. It’s often the first step in building a sourcing playbook for the entire team.
Do these resources replace professional sourcing services?
These resources are a great starting point, but they don’t replace hands-on expertise. If you need help vetting suppliers, negotiating terms, or managing end-to-end logistics, our Product Sourcing Services and Supply Chain Management solutions can provide full support.
Will new resources be added in the future?
Yes. We regularly release new checklists, templates, and calculators based on client needs and industry trends. You can bookmark this page or sign up for updates to get notified whenever new resources go live.
How do these resources connect to Importivity’s services?
Each resource represents part of the process we use every day in client projects. By offering them freely, we give you a window into how structured sourcing works. If you find value here, our services can expand that framework into complete, done-for-you solutions.
