We just completed our full supplier-matching stack — finding verified China suppliers stays free

By Joe Zhou · TokoAI(51Toko) · 2026-09-01

Finding a supplier in China is rarely about "is there a factory" — it's about which ones are real, and which you can actually reach. Today we completed the full stack behind our sourcing service. For overseas buyers, the headline is simple: find-suppliers stays free. Tell us what you want to source and we find, rank and hand you a verified, contactable shortlist — by email, no software, no registration.

1. Three capabilities behind your free shortlist

We don't offer you "three services". Behind the free find-suppliers service sit three capabilities we've now finished building:

• A verified, contactable supplier pool. The base you search isn't scraped names — it's organizer-vetted exhibitors and real import/export records, with contacts filled in so suppliers are actually reachable.
• AI supplier matching. Tell us what you want to source — your category — and we match suppliers to your exact need across the pool, not a keyword dump.
• Continuous self-calibration. Every match run feeds back into the next, so the shortlists get tighter as the base grows.

Together these mean: when you ask for suppliers, you get a ranked list with a match rationale and a real public contact — not a raw export.

2. How it works: email is the whole interface

You don't install software or learn a dashboard. Email us your sourcing need — your category (what you want to source) — and that's the instruction. We run the match, rank suppliers by fit, and reply with a shortlist and a match rationale. Adjust the brief or ask a follow-up — just reply. If you already know email, you already know how to use it.

3. The numbers behind the pool

Honest, sourced figures (all from publicly reachable, already-imported records):

• 200,000+ contactable Chinese supplier factories in the base, 60%+ directly reachable — exhibitors vetted by show organizers, not directory scrapes.
• 1.613M+ total companies across overseas and China; 62.1% already enriched to contactable.
• 9.18M customs declaration records and 1.36M company profiles make up the base. Your sourcing need is matched against real supplier product profiles — trade-show exhibitors and government-awarded suppliers — plus verified buyer import records, not a name guess.

In our matching runs, a single sourcing need routinely returns a ranked shortlist of dozens of verified suppliers — each with a public contact and a reason it fits. You decide who to contact; negotiation stays with your team.

4. Why the buyer side stays free

Suppliers who engage with you through a confirmed match pay only then. So the buyer side of the service — find, match, rank, deliver a shortlist — costs you nothing to start. The pool, the enrichment and the matching are all built; you just tell us what you source.

5. Next step

If you want a tighter, category-specific shortlist of China suppliers, email us your category (what you want to source). We'll confirm the matches and hand you a verified contact list. Sourcing from China starts with a shortlist you can actually reach.

TokoAI (51Toko) continuously organizes organizer-vetted exhibitors from China's trade shows and real import/export records so overseas buyers can match Chinese suppliers by category and cluster. All figures here come from publicly reachable, already-imported contacts and represent no guarantee of any transaction.
