FactoryProof Sourcing Intelligence

A B2B SaaS that gives small and mid-sized apparel brands the “big brand” sourcing due diligence stack in a lightweight workflow: verify whether a supplier is a real factory vs trading company, understand likely capacity/throughput signals, and flag subcontracting/compliance risks. It aggregates verifiable signals (public/corporate registries, shipment/cross-border trade metadata where available, certification directories, dispute/blacklist signals, and brand-reported experience) into a standardized supplier profile and a pre-order risk report. The core deliverable is an evidence-backed sourcing brief that a brand can use before sending deposits or placing POs.

Target customer

Small to mid-sized apparel brands (DTC and wholesale) and sourcing managers placing recurring production orders with overseas factories, especially those without a dedicated procurement intelligence team.

Problem-solution fit

These buyers lack reliable, affordable ways to confirm supplier legitimacy and benchmark quality/risk—problems the post shows large brands solve with intelligence infrastructure. The product converts scattered, hard-to-collect signals into a repeatable due diligence workflow, reducing the chance of choosing the wrong supplier and improving negotiating leverage with factual references.
