Find the products and materials your business needs!

Empress helps you find and obtain the products and materials your business needs — no matter what, no matter where. We understand sourcing decisions and logistics costs go hand-in-hand, and we work at the intersection of both to get you what you need in the most efficient manner.

Sourcing is the act of getting something, especially products or materials, from a particular place. Sounds easy, but finding the right supplier, contract manufacturer, or other source can sometimes feel like trying to find a needle in a haystack. We can take the burden off of your shoulders.

Finding the product or material you need can be challenging, and often frustrating. Save time and let us search for what you need. Empress has a seasoned process for searching for suppliers, contract manufacturers, or other sources. We offer USA sourcing and international sourcing services.

Finding what you need is the first challenge, then we can help you move the product where you need it! Empress understands that sourcing and logistics go hand-in-hand, and anyone sourcing product needs to consider the full logistics journey before signing any contracts.

We are ready to help!

We are excited to learn more about your sourcing and logistics needs. Book an introductory meeting or consultation to get started.
