For boutiques, online sellers, and small procurement teams: build reliable supplier shortlists in under 45 minutes with filters, MOQs, certifications, ratings, and direct contacts.
Sourcing stalls when you don’t know who to trust, what minimums fit, or how quickly they ship. Generic marketplace browsing buries key details, and messy spreadsheets slow decisions and vendor outreach. Discover Wholesale turns chaos into clear choices with curated listings, practical filters, buying guides, and matchmaking requests tailored to your categories.
Discover Wholesale started after our founder, Maya Chen, ran sourcing for a multi-brand boutique and kept losing weeks to unclear MOQs and scattered certifications. The turning point came when a promising supplier’s lead time doubled mid-season, triggering stockouts and a 14% margin hit. Maya mapped the details buyers truly need—minimums, samples, documents, and timelines—and built a normalized directory around them. Early pilots with local retailers showed faster shortlists and fewer returns. We expanded categories, added matchmaking requests, and layered practical guides. Today, we serve boutique owners, online sellers, and small procurement teams who want clarity and speed without the noise.

We cut our candle jar sourcing from two weeks to three days and avoided a 12% airfreight hit. The MOQ and lead time filters saved us hours of dead-end emails.
Side-by-side costs made unit economics obvious. We consolidated vendors and improved reorder margins by 9.8% over two cycles. The matchmaking request delivered four spot-on options.
I finally stopped guessing on certifications. The compliance checklist flagged a labeling requirement that would have delayed my listing. I launched on schedule and kept returns below 2%.
We used alerts to catch a lead time shift and moved our PO up a week. No stockouts, and we saved 18% avoiding rushed shipping. The verified contacts are gold.
The shortlist arrived in 60 hours with three suppliers that fit our MOQ 150 and 10–12 day lead time. Samples approved in four days. We launched on time and under budget.
