Buyers publish a sourcing request for free. Suppliers browse open requests and present their company. If you're interested, you get connected — directly.
Post a request — it's freeThese are the four problems buyers face every time they need to source something new.
"I reach out to 10 suppliers. Maybe 3 reply. Of those, only 1 actually gets back to me with something useful."
r/ecommerce, repeated across dozens of threads
On prod2buy, suppliers come to you. They browse open requests and choose to present themselves — no cold outreach, no chasing.
"I spend days searching Google, directories, LinkedIn… and still can't find anyone who does exactly what I need."
common pain point for buyers with niche or specific requirements
You post once. Suppliers with active subscriptions find your request — including smaller manufacturers with no web presence who are on prod2buy to reach buyers like you.
"I can't tell if I'm talking to the actual manufacturer or just a middleman. I want to speak directly with the source."
B2B sourcing report 2025: supplier transparency is the #1 friction point
Every presentation shows the supplier's company name, sector, and role upfront. You see exactly who's reaching out — and what they do — before deciding whether to connect.
"Every time I need a different product I start from scratch — new search, new emails, same waste of time."
procurement managers who source across multiple categories
Your dashboard keeps all open requests, incoming presentations, and accepted connections in one place. New product? Post a new request in minutes.
Buyers post what they need. Suppliers present what they offer. When there's a match, contacts are exchanged — everything else is up to them.
The goal hasn't changed — find a supplier who can deliver what you need. Getting there is a completely different story.
You search Google, directories, trade fairs — hours of work with no guarantee you'll find the right supplier.
You reach out cold. Most don't reply. The ones who do take days and often can't help.
You can't tell if you're dealing with the actual producer or a layer of intermediaries.
Every new product category means starting the whole search from scratch again.
You post a request in minutes. Suppliers browse it and come to you with a presentation.
You review incoming presentations on your timeline — no chasing, no follow-up emails.
Each presentation shows the supplier's company, sector, and role. You always know exactly who's reaching out before you connect.
All your requests and accepted connections live in one dashboard — across every category, every time.
Every decision we made removes friction between a buyer who has a need and a supplier who can fill it.
Instead of hunting through directories, buyers publish once and wait. Suppliers self-select based on relevance — which means every presentation you receive is from someone who actually wants the job.
Every presentation is signed with the supplier's company name, sector, and role. You always see who's reaching out — no anonymous pitches, no hidden middlemen.
Sourcing requests are not public on the internet. Only suppliers with an active subscription can see them. You control your sourcing needs — they don't end up on Google.
Accepting a presentation is the only way a supplier receives your contact details. You're never exposed until you choose to be — full control stays with the buyer, always.

"In 48 hours I had 5 presentations from suppliers I never would have found on my own. I accepted two and both conversations went somewhere."

"I posted one request and had three relevant presentations within a day. It replaced two weeks of email outreach that usually goes nowhere."
Sara V.
Founder · Consumer goods brand
"The fact that I control when a supplier gets my contact is a big deal. I review, I decide, then I connect. No spam, no cold calls out of nowhere."
