Domestic sourcing is breaking. Offshore sourcing is hard.
You built your brand on domestic suppliers. But margins are thinning, lead times are unpredictable, and the suppliers who once scaled with you are hitting capacity limits. You've looked at offshore — everyone says India — but the path from "interested" to "first shipment" is murky at best.
Domestic Challenges
Costs keep climbing
Raw material prices and labor costs have pushed your COGS to the point where price increases are the only option — and your customers are noticing.
MOQs don't fit your growth
Domestic suppliers want large commitments or won't take your order. You need flexibility to test new products and scale production as demand grows.
Offshore Challenges
Finding real suppliers is a full-time job
Google searches, trade shows, and LinkedIn messages yield hundreds of contacts and zero clarity on who can actually deliver.
Communication, quality, and compliance break down
Emails go unanswered across time zones, specs get lost in WhatsApp threads, and you can't verify certifications until you've already committed.
What Argo does.
A sourcing platform that handles the infrastructure between your brand and Indian manufacturers, so you can focus on product — not logistics.
Verified supplier network
Every manufacturer on Argo is vetted for capability, certifications, and export readiness. You browse suppliers who can actually deliver, not a list of leads to qualify yourself.
Structured inquiry process
Submit detailed product inquiries with specs, quantities, and timelines. Suppliers respond with structured quotes. No more chasing answers across email and chat.
Centralized communication
All conversations, files, and decisions live in one place. No more digging through WhatsApp threads or forwarding emails between your team and the factory.
Production visibility
Track order status, shipping milestones, and delivery timelines from a single dashboard. Know where things stand without sending a follow-up email.
