Supplier data
Know which supplier record points to which product.
Stable supplier identities, supplier listings linked to manufacturer products, and the evidence and dates behind each link. Commercial feeds — price, stock, lead time — are a separate, later product.
Identity linking on request · live feeds planned
The problem
Supplier data mixes
three different things
Who the supplier is, what they list, and what they can deliver right now are different facts with different freshness.
- 01
Listings without identity
A supplier SKU and description are not linked to a specific manufacturer product, so offers cannot be compared like for like.
- 02
Pack and unit mismatches
One supplier lists single pieces, another boxes of ten. Comparing them without units produces false savings.
- 03
Stale “availability”
Stock and price without an observation time are guesses. We do not show them unless a real, timestamped feed exists.
Worked example
A supplier listing,
properly linked
Synthetic listings for one manufacturer product. Commercial fields are blank because no feed exists.
| Supplier | Listing | Pack | Condition | Identity link | Price / stock |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Supplier X (org-0012) | SYN-88213 | 1 pc | new | same identity · reviewed | no feed |
| Supplier Y (org-0047) | Y-101-O | 10 pcs | new | proposed · pack differs | no feed |
| Supplier Z (org-0090) | Z-BRG-25 | 1 pc | unknown | multiple candidates | no feed |
Method
Identity, listing, offer —
in that order
Offers can only be compared once identity, pack, condition and terms align.
Supplier identity
Stable organization IDs with sources and verification dates.
Listing capture
Supplier SKU, description, pack quantity, unit and condition preserved.
Identity link
Listing linked to a manufacturer product, variant or candidates — with evidence.
Offer data (later)
Price, currency, availability and lead time only from real feeds, with observed-at times.
Outcome and limits
What you get — and what you don’t
A reliable map of which supplier listings correspond to which manufacturer products — the foundation any later offer comparison needs.

Do you show live prices or stock?
No. There is no commercial feed today. When one exists, every value will carry its source and observation time.
Are listed suppliers authorized distributors?
We do not claim authorization status unless a source establishes it, and we record that source.
