Domestic sourcing
When import costs move, the margin goes first.
Raising prices is the reflex, and sometimes it is right. But if your landed cost is exposed to a rate someone else sets, the durable fix is a supplier whose price does not move when that rate does. Supplier Flow is built on US-based high-ticket brands and authorized distributors.
Re-sourcing, in three moves
01
Find the domestic equivalent of what you already sell
Filter the catalog to US-based suppliers and distributors in your niche, then compare on the things that decide whether a switch is worth it: margin band, average order value, MAP enforcement, and whether they ship direct to your customer.
02
Check the demand before you commit
Search volume, a five-year trend line, seasonality and average price for the product itself. Re-sourcing into something already in decline is a slower version of the same problem.
03
Get approved as a dealer
Domestic brands gate their dealer programs, which is exactly why their margins hold. Contact details, the buried dealer application page, proven outreach templates and a CRM to work the follow-ups are all part of the product.
Domestic is not automatically cheaper
It is usually a higher unit cost and a better business: shorter shipping, fewer customs surprises, returns that do not cross an ocean, and a price you can defend because the brand enforces MAP on everyone selling it. On a high-ticket order those things decide the margin more than the unit price does. The numbers are on each supplier’s profile so you can price the trade rather than take our word for it.
Every row shows when we last checked it
Re-sourcing under time pressure is exactly when a dead contact hurts most, so each supplier carries the date its details were last confirmed against the brand’s own site. If a field is wrong, report it and the credit goes back to your balance.
