Most sourcing “research” is just procrastination with extra tabs

Accio (accio.com) goes after a problem every operator knows: supplier hunting turns into days of copy-paste, half-truths, and inbox chaos.

You start with a product idea. Then you drown in marketplaces, random PDFs, and suppliers who “can do anything” until you ask for specs, lead time, and MOQ.

Here’s the deal: Accio aims to cut the dead time between searching and getting real quotes.

What Accio is trying to replace

Most teams run sourcing like this:

Search results that don’t match what you meant
A spreadsheet of “maybe” suppliers
RFQs written in a rush (missing key specs)
Quote comparison done by vibes

Accio pushes that workflow into one place. You search, narrow, and move into quote-ready conversations without building your own messy system.

Where Accio wins (if you buy products for a living)

1) Faster path to supplier shortlists

Accio focuses on turning your intent into a list you can act on. Less browsing. More shortlisting.

2) Better RFQs, fewer dumb replies

Bad RFQs create bad quotes. Accio helps you get specific - materials, dimensions, compliance, packaging, lead time - so suppliers can’t hide behind fuzzy answers.

3) Quote comparison that doesn’t rot your brain

You shouldn’t need a custom spreadsheet to compare MOQ, unit price breaks, shipping terms, and timelines. Accio is built around that reality.

4) Cleaner handoff inside a team

Sourcing breaks when info lives in one person’s inbox. Accio keeps the thread, context, and decisions in the open so teammates can pick it up.

But there’s a catch: tools don’t fix weak buying. If you can’t define specs and success criteria, no software can save you. Accio just makes good operators faster.

Who should care

Brand owners and importers validating new SKUs
Ops teams tired of “supplier roulette”
Anyone who needs quotes that hold up when finance asks, “Why this vendor?”

Accio (accio.com) isn’t about browsing for fun. It’s about getting to an answer you can ship.
