Desafío

The buyer had a reference product and a target retail price, but supplier replies mixed different plastic grades, carton counts, and packaging assumptions.

Solución

Aeonix converted the request into a supplier comparison file, separated realistic low-MOQ options from teaser pricing, and kept packaging assumptions visible before sample spend.

Ejecución

The team compared three supplier routes by MOQ, mold flexibility, carton size, color options, and first-order cash exposure before recommending a practical test order path.

Resultado

The buyer received a shortlist that made the first order smaller, easier to compare, and less dependent on one supplier's lowest advertised price.
