Through this partnership, each company will gather, aggregate and filter data to be used in the Panjiva intelligence platform and on GoodFactories.com. This adds more high quality data sources for buyers and supply chain managers to help overcome the common problem of finding good overseas suppliers.

Through the integration, buyers on GoodFactories will see Panjiva supplier shipment ratings with qualified suppliers and offered a link to the Panjiva data.  Suppliers on GoodFactories.com, will now have their profiles and products dynamically delivered and surfaced to companies using the Panjiva platform, whose customers include The Home Depot, Leggat and Platt and thousands more. 

“Just as the App Store connects iPhone users with applications they want, onPanjiva connects global businesses with relevant information they need to engage in global trade and mitigate supply chain risk,' said James Psota, Panjiva co-founder and chief technology officer."

Both companies have been using similar data and processes to help importers find good overseas manufacturers using U.S. Customs Shipment Data.  From the shipment data, they are able to analyze what and whom manufacturers are shipping to.  Panjiva’s role is to refine and augment this data with other sources, and make it simple for buyers to research new and existing suppliers.  GoodFactories role has been to filter through this data, and contact the best suppliers, review their company, and add them to the GoodFactories.com database.

“Finding good factories overseas has always been a tough challenge in the home furnishings industry” said Seth Berman, CEO and founder, Good Factories.com. “With our partnership with the onPanjiva platform, we are quickly making the internet the best tool for overseas sourcing”.
