Choose a supplier database around your sourcing brief
Start with a clear product category, customer market and preferred business model. A dropshipping seller, wholesale reseller and private-label brand will ask different questions and need different supplier capabilities. Use country and category filters to remove obvious mismatches, then review the remaining records against delivery, catalog, minimum-order and account requirements.
- Define target countries and product categories
- Separate wholesalers, distributors and manufacturers
- Record minimum-order and catalog-data needs
