Stressed out by broken procurement models?
Finding a genuinely good supplier is hard. Not ‘hard to find on Google hard,’ it’s hard to know who you can trust, or who can consistently deliver to the standard you’re accountable for… and your buyers expect.
Anyone can find the cheapest supplier, send out cutter guides, slap an inflated markup on it, and ship halfway across the world (after all, it’s the broken procurement model most of the market runs on).
But we both know that's no good for your budget, no good for your stress-levels, and certainly no good for the environment.
We only work with suppliers you can trust
That's why we only work with suppliers we’ve built an in-person, human relationship with. Every one is audited by us on-site: we've signed the NDAs, we've walked the factory floor, and we've checked compliance.
It means that when you order that FSDU, it’s designed by our in-house Studio — a team of experts who knows your brand’s guidelines, and those of your retailers.
And it means that finished displays are made in a factory close to their destination, and shipped to store in the shortest time, by the shortest possible route. (An added ESG win, wouldn’t you agree?)

"Everything incontrast does is geniune"
Buy back your time
No more struggling to find good quality suppliers, chasing people who never call you back, or watching time evaporate. We work directly with suppliers and manufacturers on your behalf and save you hours of wasted time.
ESG first
Full conformance with FSC, SEDEX, and EcoVadis benchmarks ensure your orders meet the ethical and environmental standards your stakeholders demand.
Protection & relationship management
Supplier framework agreements lock in compliance, performance standards, and NDA confidentiality obligations. This protects you (and the brands you represent) at every tier of the supply chain.
Minimal markups & management fees
Because we already have an established relationship with our suppliers, we’ll never add unnecessary markups or management fees. We’re 100% transparent on this. This means your budget goes further, and avoids difficult questions down the line.
Genuine accountability
“Proactive” is a word our clients use to describe us, and we pride ourselves on it. Every supplier is tracked against OTIF and error reporting, with a comprehensive audit every year. If standards begin to slip, we're already on it.
Confidence & consistency
Because we work with your brand through every touchpoint we’re familiar with its identity, guidelines, and consistency. That means everything from colours to cutter guides align with your brand’s requirements, and errors become a thing of the past.
“Other agencies may source things from across the world, but don't necessarily have the right documentation, certificates, that type of thing. But everything incontrast does is genuine… 100% genuine. There are no cutting corners.”
FAQs
What does this service include?
On-site supplier audits, NDA-backed agreements, ISO/EcoVadis as a prerequisite, UK and European in-house teams (InContrast and STI Group) that extend to a vetted global network.
How does this benefit me?
Three words: time, money, and sleep! Save time searching for new suppliers, or chasing ones that go quiet. Save money on hidden markups. And sleep easy knowing that we’ve done the (literal) legwork to overseas warehouses, and trust each and every one of our suppliers.
How does this differ from the rest of the market?
Most of the market sources on lowest price with no relationship or audit trail. We source ourselves, vet on site, and stay accountable at every touchpoint.
How much does insource cost?
There's no single price, because it depends on what's being made, where and by whom. What we can promise is how we charge: every quote is completely transparent.
What support will I get?
You’ll be given one touchpoint throughout the process. Our sales teams and client services know the industry inside out, and have decades of experience (some of our clients are like family—they’ve been with us for years!) They’re always on hand to answer your questions and walk you through the process.
