HS and duty ambiguity
Candidate classifications, confidence, and uncertainty are shown beside the supplier quote instead of buried after supplier selection.
Sourcing-first · import readiness built in
AI-managed sourcing for recurring packaging from Asia. Better bids, fewer import surprises.
Start with a quote, invoice, dieline, photo, or rough spec. GetDemand builds the RFQ, routes it to qualified Asian suppliers, normalizes the bids, and flags HS, document, landed-cost, and broker handoff risks before you commit.
$250 per run $750 for the first 10 founding buyers. After that, $750/run or $1,500/mo Operator.
- No supplier spam — buyer identity stays masked
- Quotes normalized by MOQ, lead time, incoterm
- Import-readiness checks before award
- Broker-ready packet when you move forward
- Built for recurring packaging purchases

How a sourcing run works
We do the structured RFQ, supplier outreach, and bid normalization. You stay in control of every next step.
- 1
Share what you buy
Drop in an invoice, quote, dieline, photo, or spec. Add quantity, destination, and target price if you have one.
- 2
We source, check, and normalize
We turn your artifact into a supplier-ready RFQ, route it to qualified Asian suppliers, and run import-readiness checks in parallel.
- 3
Get ranked quotes
You get comparable quotes with unit price, MOQ, lead time, incoterm, assumptions, landed-cost risk, and suggested next step — every one signed against the original RFQ.
Import readiness layer
Sourcing is the job. Readiness is the guardrail.
We do not stop at cheaper bids. Each sourcing run carries the import context a buyer, supplier, forwarder, or licensed customs broker needs to avoid expensive surprises.
Missing import documents
Commercial invoice, packing list, origin, material, and product-detail gaps are flagged before the buyer moves to award.
Landed-cost risk
Incoterm, freight mode, destination, MOQ, and tariff assumptions are separated so a low unit price does not hide the real cost.
Broker-ready handoff
When the buyer chooses a supplier, GetDemand prepares a broker-ready packet while staying clear that licensed customs advice comes from broker partners.
Visible procurement workflow
Not a black-box supplier search.
The run shows what it understood, what is missing, why suppliers matched, and why one quote is safer than another. You approve the RFQ and any negotiation before suppliers are contacted.
Artifact-to-RFQ preview
Invoice, photo, dieline, quote, or spec becomes a buyer-editable RFQ with confidence, missing fields, and source references.
Apples-to-apples bid board
Supplier replies are normalized into unit price, MOQ, lead time, incoterm, sample terms, certs, assumptions, and risk flags.
Match rationale
Supplier fit explains category, export market, compliance, capacity, reliability, blocked-supplier, and policy signals.
Benchmark guardrails
Price ranges display only after privacy thresholds are met; sparse data shows suppression reasons instead of fake certainty.
Pricing that grows with you
Start with a one-time sourcing run. If packaging is a regular line item, move to a monthly Operator or Growth plan — and apply your first run fee toward month one.
First 10 buyers get a $250 sourcing run (vs. $750) — same verified supplier network, same 48-hour delivery.

Success-fee option (upside, not in place of subscription): 10–20% of verified first-year savings, capped at $25K per supplier match. Available on Growth and Enterprise. We prefer savings-based fees over PO fees because PO fees feel like a tax.
Suppliers are free during our founding-network phase. We don’t sell leads or charge for visibility. Fees only apply to buyer-side sourcing runs.
Start your sourcing run
Takes about 2 minutes. After you submit, you’ll get a Stripe link to pay your run fee — $250 for the first 10 founding buyers, $750 thereafter. We start sourcing as soon as payment lands.
What we’ll do with your info
- Mask your identity from suppliers until you choose a next step.
- Redact supplier names from invoices on request.
- Never sell your data. See our privacy policy.

Common questions
How long does a sourcing run take?
Most ranked quote bundles return within 48 hours after we have a complete RFQ. Complex SKUs (multi-layer film, special inks, food-grade certifications) can take a few extra days while we verify supplier capabilities.
Do I have to pay anything to start?
Yes — sourcing runs are $750 upfront (or $250 for the first 10 founding buyers), paid by Stripe link after you submit. If you upgrade to an Operator or Growth plan within 14 days, we credit the run fee toward your first month.
What if my incumbent supplier is already the best?
You still get the intelligence layer: comparable bids from our verified China, Thailand, and Vietnam network, a fair-price band, demand-pooling potential to clear better MOQs, and an import-readiness check. We ask for your invoice or current quote up front so we have something concrete to compare against.
When does a subscription make sense vs. a one-time run?
If you reorder packaging more than twice a quarter, the Operator plan ($1,500/mo) pays for itself: 2 included runs, unlimited reorders against suppliers we’ve already matched, an RFQ vault, and a masked-buyer inbox. Growth ($3,500/mo) adds multi-user, landed-cost modeling, supplier scorecards, and priority concierge for teams running 6+ sourcing events a month.
Is there a success fee instead of a subscription?
Success-fee pricing is available as upside on Growth and Enterprise plans, not as a replacement for the subscription: 10–20% of verified first-year savings, capped at $25K per supplier match. We prefer savings-based fees to PO fees because PO fees feel like a tax on every shipment.
I do not want suppliers to see my company name.
Buyer identity is masked by default. Suppliers see only the structured RFQ — quantities, destination country, materials, certifications, and target price band — until you decide to move forward.
Can I redact my current supplier from the invoice?
Yes. Black out supplier name and contact details before uploading. We only need product spec, quantity, price, incoterm, and destination to normalize.
Why not just use Alibaba?
Alibaba gives you supplier search. We return comparable quotes against one structured RFQ, normalize assumptions across suppliers, and track outcome quality so future runs get sharper.
What categories do you cover today?
Stand-up pouches, flat pouches, rollstock, sachets, labels, shrink sleeves, and printed inserts. If your category is adjacent, ask us — we are expanding by demand density.
