Case studies

What a structured sourcing workflow looks like.

Examples showing how product evidence, comparable RFQs, verification, and quality controls strengthen procurement decisions.

01

Furniture

From reference chair to a comparable factory shortlist

A hospitality buyer needed suppliers able to match curved plywood, commercial durability, and knock-down export packaging.

Work completed
  • Visual search grouped similar constructions
  • The RFQ normalized material, finish, testing, MOQ, and packaging
  • Candidates were compared on process fit, samples, and evidence
Outcome

A focused shortlist and consistent sample brief replaced disconnected messages.

02

Beauty packaging

Reducing compatibility risk for a custom bottle

A beauty brand wanted an amber bottle with customized decoration and controlled pump output for a new formula.

Work completed
  • Stock shapes were separated from custom molds
  • The brief defined compatibility, leakage, decoration, dosage, and transport tests
  • Tooling, ownership, samples, and change control were clarified
Outcome

The comparison included development risks that unit price alone would miss.

03

Lighting

Preparing a pendant-light RFQ for two markets

A buyer needed a fixture adapted to different voltage, plug, labeling, and certification requirements.

Work completed
  • Components were documented by market
  • Reports were checked for model and component scope
  • Packaging, spares, lead time, and inspection points were added
Outcome

Suppliers quoted the same compliant configuration instead of visually similar alternatives.

These are illustrative workflow examples for the prototype and should be replaced with approved, verifiable customer stories before public launch.
