How and Why You Should Use the Factory Confirm Chrome Extension by Sourcify

You’re in business and want to cut costs or you’re starting a business and want to bring a product to life.

The go to database for you to search for manufacturers is going to be Alibaba.

With millions of manufacturers listed, you start diving into the process.

You search for a product, like sunglasses.

Hundreds of thousands of results show up.

How can all of these manufacturers be producing sunglasses?

The truth: they aren’t.

The majority of the companies listed on Alibaba aren’t factories.

They are trading companies, feeder factories, import and export companies, or sourcing agents.

A few hours go by and you’ve gone through hundreds of companies, trying to figure out which manufacturer you should work with.

You’re left feeling lost, unsure, and empty handed.

We’ve had these feelings.

It’s one of the reasons we created the Factory Confirm tool. It’s a Google Chrome Extension that plugs into your browser and analyzes factories in real time on Alibaba. Using in-depth data analysis and artificial intelligence, we’re able to see a factory page and tell you the likelihood of it being legitimate.

To date, we’ve helped hundreds of companies bring new products to life and cut manufacturing costs.

It enables us to have the analysis knowledge and data to understand what makes a factory great.

It’s how we’ve gone above and beyond with the companies who work with us to bring thousands of different products to market.

Now, we’re opening that up to everyone, with this Chrome extension.

If you’re looking to  increase your chances of having manufacturing success, it’s time you use this tool.
