How we find your supplier
We obtain several independent quotes from our suppliers for you and enable a transparent cost comparison. You receive all quotation and contact details from us and can choose the right supplier yourself. Of course, we also support you with any open questions after the order has been placed or during sampling. Our goal is to build a customer-supplier relationship rather than act as a reseller. You can order directly from the supplier. Our service is free of charge and without obligation for you. Naturally, we respect your internal processes, such as non-disclosure agreements (NDAs).

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Who do I order the services from?
You order the services directly from the respective suppliers. We do not engage in trading.
Where are your suppliers based?
Our suppliers are mainly based in the CEE region and the DACH region. For projects with Chinese suppliers, we have a local partner company that acts as an intermediary and takes care of quality assurance.
Is my request distributed automatically?
No, we review your request and forward it only to suitable suppliers.
How many suppliers receive my request?
Our goal is to obtain around three competitive quotes for you. Depending on the type of request, we contact around 5–10 suppliers to achieve this.
How does a request with a non-disclosure agreement work?
For requests involving non-disclosure agreements, you can attach them to the request form. We then obtain the signed non-disclosure agreements from the suppliers in advance.
Can you tell me in advance which suppliers will be contacted?
Yes, if you wish, please select the corresponding option in the request form. However, this will increase the processing time.
Are the suppliers audited by Jactio.com?
We do not audit the suppliers. We have obtained a supplier self-assessment from many of them and visited them in person. Quality requirements vary widely, and comprehensive audits would be reflected in the cost of our service. For these reasons, we consider audits to be the customer's responsibility.
Are there any fees for the sourcing service?
Our sourcing service is free of charge and without obligation for the requesting companies.
How is Jactio.com financed?
We receive commissions from our suppliers for the orders we arrange.
