PRODUCT SOURCING
A better starting point
for your next product.
Bring a link, a sample reference or a product brief. Start with clear requirements before committing to inventory.
From a product idea
to an agreed specification.
Product sourcing starts with understanding what needs to stay consistent: materials, dimensions, variants, packaging and intended use. Your quote should connect those requirements to the quantity and destination market.
- Share the product link, images or technical requirements.
- Discuss sourcing options and sample requirements.
- Confirm specifications, quantities and costs.
- Agree inspection and fulfillment requirements before ordering.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Before you choose a product or supplier.
Do I need a product link?
A link is useful, but a clear description, photographs or specifications can also explain your request. Include the features, materials, sizes and variants that must match.
What should I check before approving a sample?
Compare the sample with your required materials, dimensions, function, appearance and packaging. Record any changes and keep the approved reference clear before production or purchasing.
Can I request a sample before ordering inventory?
Yes. We can arrange samples so you can review the product before committing to inventory. We confirm availability, sample cost and delivery details with you before placing the sample order.
Why can similar-looking products have different prices?
Materials, specifications, workmanship, quantity and packaging can all change the cost. Compare equivalent specifications and the full scope of each quote, rather than the unit price alone.
What information makes sourcing quotes easier to compare?
Use the same product specification, quantity, variants and destination for each option. Check whether samples, customization, inspection and delivery are included or quoted separately.
Can I use Bitus for sourcing without ongoing fulfillment?
Yes. We can help source your products and arrange delivery to your chosen destination. If you also need customer-order fulfillment, we can connect the approved products to that workflow.
Will you replace my product or supplier without asking?
We explain any proposed changes to the product, specifications or supplier and ask for your approval before proceeding. An alternative product should not be treated as an exact match simply because it looks similar.
