Supplier sourcing
I research manufacturers, contact them and compare their capabilities, prices, minimum orders and lead times. You get a shortlist you can use.
Independent sourcing & procurementFrom brief to production
YOU NEED IT.
WE SOURCE IT.
Need something made? I'll find a supplier, work through the samples and stay involved while it's produced.
Start with a finished drawing or a rough idea. Both are fine.

What I do
If you've only got a rough idea, that's enough to start.
The work behind
getting it made.
Factory visits
When a visit makes sense, I can meet a supplier in person, look at the operation and report back before you commit.
Product development
Have a rough idea, reference product or prototype? I'll work through specifications, materials, packaging and sample rounds with the supplier.
Negotiation
I'll compare quotes and challenge costs, minimum orders, payment terms and production requirements where there's room to move.
Production & QC support
Once the sample is approved, I stay in the conversation. I help resolve issues and arrange suitable quality or pre-shipment checks.
Logistics support
I can help coordinate freight and delivery requirements with the right logistics partners for the job.
How it worksA practical way
A practical way
from idea to order.
Tell me what you need
Send a drawing, a photo, an existing sample or simply explain the problem.
I find the right suppliers
Research, conversations, capability checks and quotes. Then a clear comparison.
We develop it
If the product needs work, we deal with samples, specifications and revisions before an order is placed.
We make it happen
I help with the commercial details, production communication, checks and shipping arrangements.
Where I can helpStart with
Start with
the
problem.
You don't need a finished specification to get in touch.
Custom manufacturing
Find the right manufacturer for a bespoke product or component.
Supplier replacement
Find an alternative when an existing supplier is too expensive, unreliable or no longer suitable.
Product development
Turn an idea, reference product or prototype into something ready for production.
Factory verification
Get greater confidence in a supplier before committing to an order.
Packaging & production
Source and develop packaging or production requirements around the product.
Cost reduction
Review sourcing options when current manufacturing or supply costs no longer make sense.
Kornelijus Dasuta / FounderExperience behind KODE
Built by someone who's actually done the buying.
I'm Kornelijus. I've spent more than 10 years buying and sourcing products across the UK, India and China, including product development, packaging and imports.
At Rebel Foods UK, I built the UK supply-chain function and a sourcing and distribution operation supporting around 40 locations. That meant finding suppliers, developing products and packaging, managing imports and keeping stock moving.
I built KODE SUPPLY to give growing businesses experienced sourcing and procurement support without the overhead of building the function in-house.
