What we do
Our services
Everything you need to source, agree, produce and ship.
RFQs and sourcing
Post what you need: product, quantity, quality and delivery. Tradlee reviews each request, then manufacturers send you their offers.
How sourcing works
Offers and negotiation
Compare price, lead time and terms side by side. Negotiate in one conversation, with every revision kept on record.
How offers work
Contracts and signing
Agreed terms become a draft contract. Both sides review and sign it online, and Tradlee completes it before production starts.
How contracts work
Production checks
Manufacturers post factory updates, Tradlee visits at key stages, and a pre-shipment inspection must pass before the order ships.
How we check orders
Logistics
Arrange freight yourself, compare quotes from logistics providers, or ask Tradlee to arrange it. Then track each shipment to delivery.
