You Want To Source From Asia Without Hiring an Offshore Team
Direct-from-factory pricing is where the margin lives. Getting it means someone has to find suppliers, run the RFQs, and hold the relationship. That is a job, and usually more than one.

THE SOURCING GAP
Sourcing From Asia Is Hard
Without a Team on the Ground
Most growing brands hit the same wall. The margin is in buying direct from the factory, but getting there means building a function you do not have.
You Don’t Know Who To Trust at the Factory
Half the “manufacturers” you find online are trading companies reselling at a markup. From 8,000 miles away, there is no reliable way to tell the difference before you have already wired a deposit.
Every Question Costs You a Day
A 12–15 hour time-zone gap turns a simple clarification into a 24-hour round trip. A sourcing cycle that should take a week stretches into a month on latency alone.
Building Procurement In-House Is Expensive and Slow
A procurement hire, commissioned sourcing agent, or rep office in China adds fixed cost and months of ramp before the first order ships. Most companies cannot justify that until the volume is already there.
Managed service, visible work
Quotable Concierge Is
an AI-Powered Procurement Department,
Not a Procurement Headcount
Quotable Concierge is a managed procurement service. You get an offshore sourcing and procurement team that works as an extension of your business, at a fixed monthly fee tied to the spend they manage.
Quotable AI Is the Infrastructure.
Quotable Concierge Is the AI-Powered Managed Service That Runs on It.
It Moves Faster
AI extracts supplier quotes, normalizes product data, and turns emails, spreadsheets, and PDFs into structured records. Your procurement team spends less time retyping and more time evaluating factories, negotiating, and moving orders forward.
You See the Work As It Happens
Every RFQ, supplier response, purchase order, document, and payment stays connected in your own Quotable AI account. There is no black box and no email archive to reconstruct later.
One operating record
From source brief to delivered order
Your team can see the commercial and operational context behind every transaction without chasing separate files.
Service-as-a-Software
A Procurement Service
That Leaves You With a System
Traditional outsourcing rents labor. Quotable Concierge combines a managed team with the software, supplier records, and audit trail you keep.
| What changes | Traditional Procurement Solutions | Quotable Concierge |
|---|---|---|
| What you buy | Hours and headcount | A managed procurement outcome |
| Where the work happens | Email, chat, and spreadsheets | Your Quotable AI account |
| Visibility | Periodic reports | Live RFQs, quotes, orders, documents, and payments |
| Speed | Manual data entry and handoffs | AI-assisted document parsing and structured comparisons |
| What you keep at the end | An email archive | Supplier data, pricing history, and transaction records |
| Software | Separate purchase and implementation | Quotable AI included |
AI structures documents and data. People make the sourcing judgments, negotiate terms, and decide which factory fits the brief. The model does not pick your factory.
Six managed steps
How It Works,
From Brief to Delivered Order
You Tell Us What to Source
Share the product brief: specs, target cost, volume, and timeline. Our team handles intake and asks the questions that matter before anything goes out to suppliers.
We Find the Factory
We identify, vet, and qualify suppliers across the sourcing region. We separate real manufacturers from trading companies before you commit.
We Negotiate
RFQs go to a qualified shortlist. Responses normalize into a line-item comparison, then our team negotiates price, terms, and lead time from the data.
We Handle Product Development and Packaging
We coordinate sample rounds, specification refinement, packaging, and labeling. The back-and-forth that eats your calendar happens on our side of the clock.
We Coordinate the Team
Logistics, vendor onboarding, and ongoing supplier communication run through one point of contact for you and a managed process behind it.
You Get Reporting and Visibility
Every RFQ, quote, purchase order, and payment lives in your account. Reviews are scheduled by plan tier, and Quotable AI access comes with every Concierge plan.

The person who finds the supplier should not profit from hiding the supplier, padding the price, or keeping the relationship.
You See the Actual Supplier Quotes
Every response is visible in your account, including the underlying line items and terms.
Fixed Fee, Not Commission
Pricing is based on spend managed, so nobody earns more when your factory cost rises.
The Supplier Base Is Yours
Contacts, documents, price history, and performance records stay in your Quotable AI account.
A Team, Not a Person
Sourcing, RFQ management, operations, and logistics coordination do not depend on one agent.

Procurement Outsourcing FAQ
What is procurement outsourcing?
Procurement outsourcing means using an external team to handle sourcing and supplier management instead of building the function in-house. The team can find suppliers, run RFQs, negotiate pricing, onboard vendors, and manage supplier performance. Quotable Concierge combines that managed service with the software the work runs on.
How is Quotable Concierge different from a traditional procurement BPO?
A traditional BPO usually sells hours and headcount, with work spread across email and spreadsheets. Quotable Concierge runs inside your Quotable AI account, so RFQs, supplier quotes, purchase orders, documents, and payments remain visible as structured records. Your supplier data and transaction history stay with your business.
What is the difference between Quotable AI and Quotable Concierge?
Quotable AI is the software your team uses to run quotation, sourcing, procurement, and transaction workflows. Quotable Concierge is the managed service: our procurement team runs those workflows for you on the same platform. Every Concierge plan includes Quotable AI access.
How does Quotable Concierge pricing work?
Concierge is priced as a fixed monthly fee based on the annual spend managed, a per transaction fee, plus a one-time onboarding fee. Customers see up to a 70%-80% in savings vs building their own team.
How does Quotable handle China sourcing?
Our team identifies and evaluates factories, separates manufacturers from trading companies, runs the RFQ, negotiates price and terms, and coordinates samples, packaging, and supplier communication. You see the underlying quotes in your account and retain the supplier relationships and pricing history.
What software is included with Quotable Concierge?
Every Concierge plan includes Quotable AI for RFQs, supplier comparisons, purchase orders, vendor records, document audit trails, and connected operational workflows. Higher Concierge tiers include higher Quotable AI plan levels. There is no separate software subscription or implementation project.
Do my suppliers need a Quotable account?
No. Suppliers can receive RFQs, submit quotes, and complete accreditation through secure no-login links. Your existing supplier network can participate without creating or configuring a Quotable account.
Can I keep my existing suppliers?
Yes. Quotable Concierge can work with your current suppliers and any new suppliers we source. Existing vendors are organized in your account with their contacts, documentation, pricing history, and transaction records.
What happens to my supplier data if I stop?
The records remain in your Quotable AI account. Supplier contacts, accreditation documents, quote history, purchase orders, and performance records belong to your business. This avoids the dependency common with sourcing-agent relationships where the network disappears when the engagement ends.
Quotable Concierge
Stop Guessing at the Factory Gate
You don’t need to hire an offshore team, fly to a trade show, or trust a sourcing agent's markup to buy direct. Quotable Concierge gives you a procurement department, powered by AI, running on software you can see into, for less than the cost of one hire.
