Open-book cost-plus — visible economics
Our open-book pricing model for buyers in the USA & Europe: you see the supplier's cost, you see our margin, and the programme is fully reconciled.
For USA & Europe buyers
Supplier cost visible. Margin agreed. Decisions documented.
This open-book model applies to our USA & Europe sourcing engagements. We are not a reseller hiding a markup in the price — the supplier's actual quotation stays visible; Simfy earns an agreed margin, disclosed separately, and the whole programme is reconciled.
- No hidden trading spread
- Multiple qualified bids, documented negotiation
- You approve the supplier and the economics
Commercial ruleWe never promise "lowest price guaranteed." The promise is transparent benchmarking, qualified alternatives, documented negotiation and buyer-aligned economics.

| Inspection / QC | Fixed visit fee or actual + management margin | Keeps service transparent |
| Consolidation / logistics | Actual cost + disclosed handling fee | Avoids hidden freight mark-up |
