Problem
Brands often spend weeks or months identifying, vetting, and negotiating with factories to fulfill new product requests, leading to delayed time‑to‑market and high sourcing costs.
Solution
Saudara provides an AI‑driven sourcing platform that transforms a submitted request for quotation (RFQ) into a shortlist of vetted supplier options within 48 hours. An AI agent first extracts specifications from the RFQ, asks clarifying questions, and then scans a curated network of factories, verifying certifications and gathering pricing. Human sourcing specialists review the AI‑generated data, handle follow‑up queries, and manage negotiations when the brand approves. The platform delivers side‑by‑side quotes and coordinates sample production, shipping, and tracking, enabling brands to move from initial sample to full production at scale with minimal manual effort.
Target Audience
Primary customers are apparel and consumer‑goods brands that need rapid, reliable sourcing for new product lines, as well as product development teams seeking to accelerate sample acquisition and supplier selection.
