Funda supported a distributor serving dry cleaners and laundromats with the sourcing of high-performance industrial liquid detergent. The work included reviewing supplier capabilities, comparing bulk-capacity manufacturers, checking packaging options for drum and carton handling, and coordinating recurring shipment planning. The project required practical follow-up on product specifications, packaging durability, and logistics details so the buyer could move from supplier search to a more organized purchasing process.

Real-World Sourcing Snapshots
A few anonymized examples of how Funda supports supplier search, sampling, packaging, quality follow-up, and logistics coordination across different product categories and markets.
Funda helped a distributor review toilet paper sourcing options outside China and explore Indonesia as a more practical supply base. The work included identifying suitable mills, checking FSC-related documentation where available, comparing container-level pricing, reviewing packaging and loading assumptions, and coordinating ocean freight planning. The goal was not only to find a lower-cost option, but to help the buyer understand supplier reliability, tariff exposure, and landed-cost considerations before placing a larger order.
Funda supported an emerging home-care brand with the development of a dishwasher tablet product line. The project involved supplier screening, formula and tablet format discussions, packaging structure review, sample follow-up, and factory communication before production. Funda helped the buyer organize product requirements, compare manufacturing options, and manage the transition from early samples to a clearer production plan.
Funda helped a car maintenance retailer source automotive rain brushes from Vietnam. The work included identifying manufacturers with relevant production experience, requesting samples, comparing material and fit details, following up on quality inspection points, and coordinating export logistics. The project helped the buyer evaluate Vietnam as a sourcing option while keeping communication, sampling, and shipping details organized.
Funda supported an ocean-focused nonprofit with a custom product portfolio that included practical eco-oriented items such as wool dryer balls, bamboo brushes, coconut shell crafts, and refill-related products. The work included supplier search, sample coordination, packaging review, and follow-up on factory standards. Because the products needed to feel cohesive as one mission-aligned collection, Funda helped organize supplier communication, packaging direction, and product comparison details across multiple categories.
Funda supported a Saudi Arabia client in developing mixer and blender machines from the early prototype stage to final product preparation. The project took about seven months and involved multiple rounds of technical communication, prototype review, sample feedback, supplier coordination, and production-readiness follow-up. Funda helped organize buyer requirements, communicate design and function adjustments with the factory, review packaging and labeling details, and coordinate the steps needed before final production. This type of project required more than simple supplier matching because the product involved mechanical structure, usability feedback, testing, packaging, and ongoing factory communication.
