Why we exist

Alibaba took the easy half. The valuable half is still on the table.

Information

Find the factory.

Free now. It was the matchers' whole business, and it is the only part of the trade that went to zero.

Open

Counterparty

One name on the contract.

Own the price, the QC and the risk on a 15-SKU order. Nobody does it for small buyers, so they pay the stack.

Open

Finance

Pay the factory. Carry the buyer.

Factories want 30% down and the balance before the box sails. No bank does it for a 15-SKU order. Distributors do, at 15 to 30 points.

Open

Logistics

Fill the box. Clear it. Land it.

Nobody pools small buyers’ cargo at factory prices with one counterparty, QC’d. They ship LCL at distributor rates.

Every room a trading house paid for is now software.
