About
Most importers buying from Asia get routed through trading middlemen who hide their margin inside the factory invoice. Sourcd is the direct path: Vietnamese factories, transparent commission, no markup.
We give importers direct access to Vietnamese factories, on a transparent commission. We find the right manufacturer for your spec, run the quality control across pre-production, production, and pre-shipment, and manage the documentation through to your destination port.
Every factory we recommend has been screened for quality, capacity, and reliability. We do not pass through unverified suppliers and call it sourcing.
We do not sit between you and the factory invoice. The price you pay the factory is the price the factory quoted, no markup, ever. Our commission is the only line item we earn on.
Most importers buying from Asia work through trading middlemen who add invisible markup before the order reaches them. That margin pays for nothing the buyer can see: not better quality, not better service, not closer factory access. It is just the cost of not having a direct path to the factory.
We built Sourcd to be that direct path. Importers deserve transparent factory pricing and direct supplier access, not invisible margins inside an invoice. That is the entire premise.
Our team
Sourcd is run by a multinational team based in Ho Chi Minh City. Between us we hold Eritrean, Norwegian, American, Ethiopian, and Canadian passports, with global ties and a deep understanding of cross-border trade. We chose Vietnam because the manufacturing base is one of the strongest in the world, and the transparent-commission model was missing from the agencies already operating here.
We are small by design. We would rather be on every quote and every inspection than scale into the kind of agency that loses track of its own deals.
Sourcd's operational base is in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. That puts us within a 2-hour drive of the largest footwear, furniture, and cashew processing clusters in the country, and a short domestic flight from Hanoi and the central Vietnam factory regions.
We do not operate out of buyer-market offices, by design. Our value is on-ground in Vietnam, where the factories are. What we bring to your market is the network and the language to talk to buyers directly, regardless of where they sit.
