SourceWise · global manufacturing & supply chain optimiser
Know the whole cost of a sourcing decision before you commit to it
Give SourceWise one requirement — what the product is, where it is going and how much of it you need. It works the product down to raw materials, finds the origins that can actually make it, assesses the manufacturers, checks the destination’s regulations and builds the full landed cost for every route. You get scenarios you can put side by side, with the workings attached.
Two ways to take delivery: instant AI analysis, disclaimed as such, or an Eximwise-verified report reviewed by our trade team and returned in two to three business days.
The method
What an analysis actually does
Not a supplier directory and not a freight quote. These are the stages the analysis works through, in order, for every request.
Decomposing the product into its principal raw materials
Identifying candidate manufacturing origins
Assessing manufacturer capability and capacity
Checking compliance fit against destination regulations
Building the full landed cost for each scenario
Profiling geopolitical and resilience risk
Composing blended sourcing strategies
The service returns a finished analysis in a single pass, so the portal shows these stages as a description of the work in progress, never as a completion count.
The deliverable
What comes back
One analysis, eight parts. Everything is shown with its workings so a procurement lead can defend the decision internally.
Raw-material decomposition
The product broken into its principal inputs — each with its role, CAS number where one applies, typical share and the regions that produce it.
Complete sourcing scenarios
Each scenario names an origin and a route, and carries its own lead time, trade-agreement position, key risks and advantages. Scenarios are built to be compared, not ranked by a single opaque score.
Landed cost, itemised
Total cost of ownership per scenario, itemised across material, packaging, manufacturing, logistics, inventory, duty, import taxes, compliance and financing — so a difference between two scenarios can be traced to the line that caused it.
Manufacturer capability
Capacity against your volume, certifications held, years in operation, export markets served, and quality and reliability scoring — the assessment a buyer would otherwise do by phone over several weeks.
Compliance fit
Destination requirements checked one by one: certifications matched, gaps still open, documentation required, and the regulatory notes behind each.
Risk and resilience profile
Geopolitical and concentration risk scored per scenario, alongside a resilience score, so cost is never read without the exposure that comes with it.
Blended strategies
Allocation across more than one origin — 70/30 and similar splits — with blended cost, risk and resilience, and the reasoning for the recommended split.
Every figure says where it came from
Each cost line is labelled: a confirmed vendor quote or forwarder rate, with the date it was given and when it stops being valid — or a model estimate. Each scenario states what share of its landed cost is sourced rather than estimated, and nothing is presented as verified unless a person verified it.
Already holding a quote
A quoted price is not a delivered cost
A supplier quotes on an Incoterm basis, and everything that basis leaves out lands on you: clearance, duty and the taxes on top of it, demurrage, warehousing, last-mile, compliance work, and the capital tied up while the goods are in transit. Paste the quote in and the comparison rebuilds it as a true delivered cost per unit, step by step, then sets that against an optimised supply chain for the same product.
Compare a quoteHow the comparison is built
- Reading the quote and its Incoterm basis
- Working out which costs the basis leaves to the buyer
- Estimating clearance, duty and last-mile charges at the destination
- Building the true delivered cost per unit
- Comparing against an optimised supply chain for the same product
Delivery
Two modes, labelled on every page
A model’s estimate and a trade team’s verified finding are not the same claim, so the platform never lets them look alike.
Returned in minutes, labelled line by line
The model that produced it, the moment it was generated and the assumptions it rested on travel with the result. Where Eximwise holds a confirmed quote or rate for a cost line, that figure is used and carries its date and source; every other line is marked a model estimate, and each scenario says what share of its landed cost is which.
Human-reviewed, two to three business days
Our trade team checks the manufacturers, the certifications and the duty treatment against primary sources, and marks what it changed. Only a verified report carries the verified badge.
If the analysis service is unreachable or unconfigured, the portal shows that failure plainly. It never fills the gap with sample numbers.
The group
Built on an operating trade business
Eximwise is an export house before it is a platform. Chemwise and Packwise are its trading arms; SourceWise is the analysis the desk runs, opened up to the buyers it serves.
Chemical trading: specialty and commodity chemicals sourced against specification, with the documentation a destination actually asks for.
Industrial bulk packaging: FIBCs, woven sacks, FFS film and multiwall paper sacks for chemicals, food ingredients and fertilizer.
SourceWise
The sourcing analysis itself: decomposition, manufacturer assessment, compliance fit and landed cost per scenario, for any product either desk can trade.
