Cavela - Create custom products at factory cost

Hi Product Hunt, Anthony founder of Cavela here 👋 We’re making it easy for anyone to create custom physical products. Here’s how it works: 1. You tell our AI agent what you want to make. 2. Our agent scans our global network of 200,000+ premium suppliers to find the best match, and then reaches out and negotiates with them on your behalf to obtain quotes. 3. You purchase samples and place orders right on the platform. Samples are sent to your doorstep, orders to your warehouse or office. That’s it. Cavela handles everything for you: finding and vetting suppliers, negotiating quotes, coordinating sample creation, tracking order progress, quality assurance, and shipping. After working with several dozen brands and startups creating all sorts of different products, we’re finally ready to open up Cavela to the wider public. We’re operating on a waitlist basis to gradually onboard new users, ensuring a smooth experience and delivering top-tier service for everyone. Sign up at www.cavela.com. We can’t wait to see what incredible products you’ll make. <3 from the Cavela team ---- Why use Cavela? ⏰ Save Time: We’ve automated away hundreds of hours of manual work, reducing the number of touchpoints with suppliers from 1000 to under 10. No more staying up late fielding hundreds of messages from suppliers over WeChat. 💸 Save Money: By combining our expansive network with the ability to get quotes from hundreds of manufacturers at once, we’re able to get the most cost effective quotes, guaranteed. We’ve been able to cut production costs for our partner brands by 40% on average, and beat traditional merch websites by 50%. 🧘Peace of Mind: From order tracking to on-site quality control, you can rest assured you’re in good hands. What is Cavela for? Creating 🔥merch: You’ve spent all this time differentiating your startup from the others, so why are you pushing out the same tired merch as everyone else? Notion famously swears by unique merch, and for good reason: it’s a differentiator that helps establish your company’s brand, and it gets people excited and talking. Launching your tech product 🚀: Your startup has built an incredible hardware product, but you’re struggling to find a supplier to create that one accessory to tie it all together. From tablet sleeves and smartwatch bands to your product’s packaging, we have the perfect supplier for you so you can focus on your core tech. Promoting your events 📅: I’m sure the attendees of your launch event loved the pens, but Torch Labs had branded hot sauce at theirs, and Blaze AI were giving out branded rolling papers. Whether it’s branded margarita flavored lip balm for the pre-party, or branded glow sticks for the afterparty, don’t get caught giving out boring promotional items for your big event. Building a brand 🛍️: Sure you love tech, but your real passion is that line of dog pyjamas you’ve wanted to start since you adopted Waffles. Use Cavela to build your brand, whether that’s creating a new line of products or finding a better, more cost-competitive supplier for your existing products.

I’ve been watching the Cavela team execute for several months now as a Partner at XYZ, and it’s unbelievable what they’ve built for this mission. As a marketing leader, this should be a vital tool in everyone’s toolbox as you make the physical products of your brand special and unique 🧰

Congrats on the launch! The back-and-forth with suppliers can be a huge pain. Cavela seems like it really simplifies the whole process.😊😊

Congratulations on launching this innovative product! I'm really excited about the potential it has to revolutionize the way we source physical products. I find it intriguing that your virtual sourcing agent can negotiate with thousands of suppliers on our behalf. The idea of having samples and orders delivered straight to my doorstep sounds incredibly convenient and could save a lot of time for entrepreneurs and creators alike. Have you considered adding features that allow users to track the negotiation process in real-time? Additionally, it would be great to know how the quality of suppliers is ensured. Looking forward to seeing how this evolves—great work!

If it really works it’s indeed powerful ! I used to talk with manufacturers and understand the complexity that can be reduced for the masses . Great idea. Good luck !

Huge congratulations on the launch of Cavela! 🚀 The idea of a virtual sourcing agent that negotiates with thousands of suppliers to create any product at half the cost is truly groundbreaking. 💡🔍 With Cavela, you’ve not only simplified the sourcing process but also made it cost-effective and hassle-free. 🌍📦

Wow, this is truly a game-changer! 🌟 As someone who has juggled the complexities of product sourcing and manufacturing, I can fully appreciate the value Cavela brings to the table. The ability to leverage an extensive network of 200,000+ suppliers and have an AI agent handle all the negotiations is simply brilliant. The time and cost savings alone are worth their weight in gold. Not to mention the peace of mind knowing that quality assurance and on-site inspections are taken care of. I love the idea of creating unique merch that stands out and promotes brand identity; it's something every startup should aim for. And the flexibility to handle everything from tech accessories to event promotions is just icing on the cake. Can't wait to see what amazing products people will come up with using Cavela. Kudos to the team for this innovative solution! 🚀
