Source suppliers and negotiate deals overnight

An agent found suppliers for an online store, negotiated, handled a sample refusal, and locked in $4.50/unit for 100 pieces needing one decision from the owner.

Done with Manus

What they did

Used Sourcing Expert agent plus Accio plugin connected to Alibaba.com to source a 15W MagSafe car charger. Agent produced supplier shortlist with ratings, MOQs and prices, then messaged the three selected suppliers, enabled auto-negotiation on price, shipping, branding and samples, saved its own progress file, flagged the free-sample refusal, and closed the deal after one user input.

How it went

Locked supplier at $4.50/unit for 100 pieces after the single decision; agent kept pushing the others to beat that price.
