Orion Sourcing
Most companies waste weeks talking to the wrong suppliers. We eliminate that entirely — combining automated screening with human validation to deliver a shortlist you can trust.
The biggest cost in sourcing is not price. It's making the wrong decision.
The problem
You don't need more options.
You need the right ones.
Most companies don't have a supplier problem. They have a signal-to-noise problem. That's what we solve.
Why not do this yourself
Most teams that manage supplier selection internally underestimate what it actually costs — not in euros, but in time, risk, and decisions made without a structured framework.
We handle the entire layer between you and a decision-ready shortlist. Define your requirements. We handle the rest — filtering, validation, communication, and delivery.
That's not outsourcing.
That's leverage.
What we do
Every supplier we present has passed both automated screening and manual validation. Most never make it past the first stage. That's by design.
We run your requirements against a large supplier pool and eliminate the majority automatically. Most suppliers never reach human review. This is how we protect your time.
Our team verifies what automation can't: credibility, communication quality, operational fit. No supplier reaches your shortlist without explicit human sign-off.
We run all supplier-side correspondence and negotiation. You're not in the loop until there's something worth your attention — a deliberate choice, not an oversight.
You receive a small, structured set of validated options with the information you need to decide. Not a long list. Not a raw export. A shortlist.
How it works
Tell us what you need. We establish the brief — scope, specifications, and success criteria — so every step that follows runs against a clear standard, not assumptions.
We run your brief against a large pool of suppliers and eliminate the majority automatically. Most fail before any human time is spent. This is intentional — it's where the noise gets cut.
Every remaining candidate is reviewed by our team — capability, communication quality, reliability signals, and fit against your specific context. This layer is what separates a list from a validated shortlist.
You receive a clean, decision-ready output. Not a spreadsheet of names — a structured document with the context you need to decide with confidence.
We remain in the loop through negotiation and first-order stage. So moving from shortlist to confirmed supplier doesn't become a separate project you have to manage.
Why Orion
We reduce volume deliberately. A shortlist you can trust is worth more than a long list you have to evaluate yourself.
Structured outputs compress decision cycles. Your team spends time deciding — not screening, chasing, or comparing incompatible data.
Finding a supplier is not the problem. Knowing whether that supplier is the right one — that's where most processes break down.
The most expensive sourcing mistakes happen before the first order. Our validation layer is designed to catch those risks before they reach you.
From brief to shortlist to execution. No managing multiple contacts or tracking scattered conversations across timezones.
Built for companies that require clear accountability, structured processes, and sourcing that can withstand internal scrutiny.
Pricing
We operate with a small margin on each order. In return, you get a vetted supplier, structured process, and a significantly reduced risk of the kind of mistake that costs far more than our fee.
We are not the cheapest option. We are the option that removes the hidden cost of getting it wrong.
Define your requirements. We handle the rest.
