Product sourcing services built for small and midsize businesses
If you are searching for a reliable supplier, wholesale source, private-label manufacturer or an outsourced procurement partner, Dash Deals helps turn a product request into a structured buying decision.
Find reliable suppliers
We research potential manufacturers and wholesale suppliers, organize RFQs, compare responses and flag supplier risks before you commit.
Lower total landed cost
We compare more than unit price — including MOQ, tooling, shipping, duties, lead time and payment terms — so the cheapest quote does not become the most expensive order.
Save procurement time
Instead of spending hours searching directories and chasing quotes, use one process for supplier sourcing, negotiation, sample coordination and order follow-up.
Private label and custom sourcing
Coordinate logo placement, packaging, light product customization, samples and supplier communication for products sold under your own brand.
Supplier verification and quality control
We review supplier details and can coordinate independent factory audits or pre-shipment inspections when the project warrants deeper verification.
Freight and delivery coordination
We can obtain and compare freight options, coordinate handoff to logistics providers and help keep production and shipment milestones visible.
Simple, transparent sourcing and procurement pricing
Start with a focused supplier search or have Dash Deals manage the full buying process. Product costs, samples, freight, duties, testing, audits and third-party inspection fees are separate unless a written proposal says otherwise.

What is included in the managed sourcing service?
Who we are best suited to help
Our initial focus is on physical products and business supplies with clear specifications and manageable compliance requirements.
Launch scope: We generally do not accept pharmaceuticals, supplements, medical devices, hazardous chemicals, weapons, food ingredients or other heavily regulated products unless the required specialist compliance partners are engaged.
Tell us what you need to source
This form is designed to take about 3 minutes. We use your answers to determine fit, sourcing approach and the right service package.
What happens next?
We review the request, identify any missing specifications, and respond with the recommended scope and next step. Detailed supplier research begins only after the project fee is approved and paid.
Frequently asked sourcing questions
Can you find manufacturers for my product?
Yes, for projects within our launch categories. We first define the product, quantity, target cost, timeline and required customization, then research and compare supplier candidates against those requirements.
Can you help me find wholesale suppliers for my small business?
Yes. We can research domestic and international wholesale sources, compare MOQs and pricing, and help determine whether wholesale, direct manufacturing or private label is the better fit.
Do I pay Dash Deals for the inventory?
Our preferred structure is for the client to pay the approved supplier directly whenever practical. Dash Deals charges transparent sourcing and procurement fees and does not finance client inventory.
Do you guarantee the lowest price?
No. We optimize for total value: landed cost, supplier capability, quality, MOQ, lead time, payment terms and risk. A quote that looks cheapest at the factory can become more expensive after shipping, defects or delays.
Do you handle customs clearance?
We can coordinate with freight forwarders and licensed customs brokers, but Dash Deals is not represented as the customs broker. The importer and licensed providers remain responsible for regulated customs functions.
How much does product sourcing cost?
A single-product Supplier Sourcing Sprint is $595. Managed Procurement is a $750 kickoff plus a 5% to 8% fee based on purchase order value, with a $5,000 minimum PO. Private label and custom sourcing begins at a $1,250 kickoff plus 7% of the initial PO. Ongoing purchasing support is $1,500 per month plus 3.5% of managed purchases.
How long does supplier sourcing take?
Most Supplier Sourcing Sprints return a comparison of recommended quotes within about one to two weeks of the kickoff fee being paid, depending on product complexity, supplier response times and whether samples are required.
