"Scaling Up Your Supply Chain: "And so for us, those are the three main pillars that we look at. Price, obviously, is always top of mind, but if quality and lead times aren't there, then it's a big problem as well."

"The Power of Third-Party Inspections": "It's kind of like your insurance to make sure that what you're receiving from that shipment is actually what you're expecting to receive. Right. Because literally the worst case scenario is when you receive product and it's not what you expected because now you have product at your warehouse, which is when you're starting typically just your house and you've got a bunch of product that is messed up and that is a horrible position to be in. So get thirdparty inspections done, even at the scale of sourceify, we always do them because it's just why not insurance for your product?"

"Forecasting is Vital for Factory Production": "As you grow, forecasting is so important, and being transparent about that with your factory is vital."

"China: The World's Manufacturing Hub": "Though in America, from a macroeconomic standpoint, we're having a lot of governmental incentives like the Chips Act to bring manufacturing back into America. And I think that act is not only strategic from a manufacturing and job standpoint, but also from a kind of security standpoint in terms of not being so reliant on Taiwan or China for chips. But even from an ecommerce angle, it's going to be really hard to compete producing most ecommerce products in America and even in Mexico. Right? A lot of the suppliers in Mexico get the raw material from Asia, so it's always a changing landscape. But as of today, china is definitely still the world's manufacturing hub."
