ProofVue
For sourcing agencies

Run every client briefon verified evidence

You find and vet factories for a living. ProofVue is the evidence layer under that work: manufacturer vs trader verification you can hand over, fit scored against each client's real order, and comparisons you can defend in the room, across every brief on your desk at once.

One pipeline, brief to shortlist

Every new client used to mean restarting the same research from zero. On ProofVue, each engagement becomes a structured brief: product, construction, materials, quantity, target cost, timeline, market requirements, with the missing information flagged before anyone contacts a factory.

Discovery then runs against the registry, not a search bar of self-descriptions. Every candidate arrives with the reason it fits this brief, so the shortlist starts defensible instead of becoming defensible later.

  • A structured brief per client, gaps surfaced before outreach
  • Search by capability, process, material, order size, location, certification
  • Every candidate comes with the reason it fits

Verification you can hand to a client

Vetting a candidate the manual way costs days per factory, and the result lives in your head. ProofVue turns it into a document: legal and physical identity, manufacturer vs trading company, which processes run in-house and which are subcontracted, and the brand relationships on record.

Every fact carries its source and verification date, and the known unknowns are listed honestly instead of papered over. That is what makes the report safe to put in front of a client.

  • Manufacturer or trading company, with the evidence behind the call
  • In-house vs subcontracted, process by process
  • Sources, verification dates, and known unknowns on every report

Recommendations you can defend in the room

Comparison runs pass, fail, or unknown against the client's own brief, and an unknown stays an unknown rather than hiding inside a blended score. Project Fit and Evidence Confidence are kept separate, so "how well it fits" never gets confused with "how sure we are".

Add the client's incumbent factory privately to compare against it without publishing anything. From there, first contact, quote worksheets, and sample scorecards carry the same rigor through to a final shortlist, a named backup, and the risks still open.

The AI layer · at launch

The AI drafts the client paperwork

At launch, the assistant works from registry evidence to draft what you hand to clients. It cites what it knows, flags what it cannot confirm, and never fills a gap with a guess.

Client-ready briefs

Turns an intake call into a one-page manufacturer brief, with the missing information listed before any factory hears from you.

Verification summaries

Compresses a full report into the paragraph your client will actually read, every fact still dated and traceable.

First-contact packs

A personalized introduction, qualification questions, and a sample request, generated from what each profile is missing.

Bring the evidence.Keep the judgment.

ProofVue ends at final selection. No marketplace, no cut of the order: the factory relationships you build stay yours and your client's.
