Our company

re:source is built by the team behind just-style, the site run for apparel sourcing people. Our mission is to connect the dots on global apparel supply chain issues, and in doing so, help those in sourcing to build strategies for the future.

Why re:source exists

Sourcing data sucks

Our customers told us how tough it was to find reliable information on which to base sourcing decisions. We checked. They were right. It drove us crazy. re:source is our attempt to fix that problem.

Good data, better world

By making sourcing decisions using regularly-updated sourcing criteria, manufacturing destinations can be rewarded for improving, for example, their sustainability. We believe this is good for the world.

The right thing to do

Sourcing people have to juggle factors like quality, cost, sustainability, location and reliability every day. We believe that making their job easier by providing better data is a good use of our time.

Create smarter sourcing plans with re:source

TRY IT YOURSELF

Lower costs, better supply chain risk management

Cost is king. But so is quality - and reputation. Behind every sourcing plan are assumptions based on experience. But the past can stop you from seizing new opportunities that can improve both margins and choice. With tools that rate sourcing destinations on what matters - expertise, price, duty rates, capacity, sustainability, readiness - re:source lets sourcing people build efficient and flexible sourcing plans fit for tomorrow.

Improving negotiations through better data

Poor or incomplete data can often lead to bad outcomes, especially if one side has better information than the other. re:source reduces friction in the negotiation process by giving both buyers and suppliers access to common datasets and benchmarks. This shared information cuts the time spent on back-and-forth discussion, and puts the focus back where we think it should be - on the needs of each party - leaving you more time to do other things.

Avoiding costly sourcing errors

With USD $3 trillion spent on apparel at retail every year, the opportunity for costly mistakes to occur is well, huge. From delayed shipments causing missed deadlines, to rules of origin misunderstandings resulting in missed tariff rates, sourcing people have plenty to consider. re:source combines data on the key criteria used to select manufacturing destinations with expert analysis, helping you to avoid sourcing errors and instead meet your customers' needs first time.
