Routemint — early-buyer phase

Submit a Manufacturing Request.

Tell us the item, the manufacturing process, the material, the prototype + production quantity, the desired timeline, and the shipping / destination location. The team reads each brief personally — no automated supplier pipeline yet, no rush for suppliers. We can’t quote a turnaround or pricing up front; both come back with the shortlist once the supplier field is reviewed for the request.

Early accessHonest expectations, no SLA.

We’re onboarding our first transactions. Every brief lands in the “Under Review”stage; the team manually qualifies supplier options and comes back with sourcing options for the requests we can route, or an honest “we can’t source this” when we can’t. We don’t promise pricing, turnaround, or supplier acceptance up front.

Contact (you)

So the team can follow up with sourcing options.

Step 2 of 3

The brief

Item, manufacturing process, material, prototype + production quantity, timeline, destination — the fields the team uses to route the supplier field.

At least 10 characters. The team reads every brief personally.

The category helps the team route the brief to the right supplier field. Pick the closest fit — “other” is fine if none of these match.

Pick “Other” if your process isn’t listed — we’ll read it on the brief.

Leave blank if no special tolerances apply.

Leave blank if finish isn’t critical to qualification.

Optional — drawings, spec sheets, reference photos. PDF, image, or common CAD/office format, up to 20MB.

Step 3 of 3

Compliance & additional notes

Any documentation the supplier must hold, and free-form notes the team should surface alongside the brief.

Leave blank if no special certifications are required.

Free-form context. The structural brief above takes priority on review.

Early accessWe’re onboarding our first transactions.

Routemint is in its early-buyer phase. Every brief lands in the review queue (currently the “Under Review” / reviewingstage); the team manually qualifies supplier options and gets back to you with sourcing options for requests we can route, or an honest “we can’t source this” when the category / category-fit doesn’t fit. We can’t quote turnaround, pricing, or a shortlist up front — those come back with the shortlist.

Fields marked required are validated server-side. Your brief lands as “Under Review”; the team personally qualifies it before any supplier outreach.

What happens next

  1. 01

    The brief lands as "Under Review" — every submission enters the reviewing stage. The team reads the brief, manually qualifies suppliers in the named category, and decides whether to route it forward.

  2. 02

    For requests we accept, the team searches and vets the supplier field by hand — surface-level supplier qualification (categories served, public catalogue, relevant third-party listings; capabilities, certifications, and on-record compliance evidence surfaced where available). The team's qualification work is manual and selective, not a packaged KYC / financial-health / sanctions sweep on every supplier. We won't promise pricing, turnaround, or supplier acceptance up front. The team comes back to you with sourcing options, transparent pricing, and lead times — or an honest "we can't source this".

  3. 03

    If we can't source what you need — or it falls outside the categories we're sourcing right now — we tell you plainly. There are no subscriptions, no listing fees, and no recurring charges.

We hold your brief on file (no account, no subscription). Submit a fresh Brief any time you have a new ask.
