About Tradio
We're not a tech company that discovered textiles.
We're operators who built technology because we knew what the industry needed - having run supply chains for global brands ourselves. We built Tradio to solve four problems we lived with every day.
Problems & Solutions
Four problems sourcing teams live with - and how we solve each.
Cost
The problem
Hidden agent margins, over-ordering as a buffer, excess sampling rounds, and markdown losses when goods arrive late - most landed cost is invisible until it's too late to act.
How Tradio solves it
Transparent factory pricing, no commission opacity, and category matchmaking that locks in cost before the order is placed.
Quality
The problem
Sample-to-bulk inconsistency, defects caught at customs, lab failures on finished goods. The sample looks perfect; the bulk doesn't.
How Tradio solves it
3-stage QC - inline at 20%, final pre-pack, pre-shipment audit. We absorb the rejection cost when we fall short. Accountability, not excuses.
Speed
The problem
Design-to-sample stretched by avoidable back-and-forth. Approval loops buried in email. Production delays surface too late to course-correct.
How Tradio solves it
Version-controlled sampling, milestone alerts in real time, structured workflows - so you know before there's a problem, not after.
Compliance
The problem
EUDR, UFLPA, BSCI, OEKO-TEX - regulatory complexity expanding fast. Non-compliance is now a trading risk, not a PR one.
How Tradio solves it
Pre-audited factories only. Certifications stored in TextilMarkt and surfaced automatically. Audit-ready documentation for every shipment.
Leadership
Operators at heart. Built by people who've lived it.
Our founders ran global sourcing operations for Amazon and Tesco - two of the world's most demanding retailers - before building Tradio. They built it because they knew exactly what the industry needed.
