A practical walkthrough of how Sourcy takes you from trending products to sourced, manufactured SKUs. From "I keep seeing this everywhere" to a structured path for trend validation and finding winning product ideas.

One workflow: from trend signal to sourced product.
Inside Sourcy, the journey from trend to product follows four simple steps:
Use the Trends layer to see what's moving across categories and markets.
Dig deeper into data: which products are rising, how stable a trend is.
Turn promising trend ideas into sourcing briefs with real constraints.
Sourcy takes briefs into supplier search, sampling, and manufacturing.
The rest of this page breaks down each step and shows how your team can use it day to day.
The starting point is simple: open the Explore Trends view and see what's moving. Instead of scrolling random feeds, you get a structured way to browse trending products by category and region.
Type in terms like 'lip oil', 'acne patch', 'cargo skirt', or 'storage basket' to see related trending products.
Narrow down to beauty, fashion, home, F&B, or other categories relevant to your range.
Focus on the markets that matter to you (Southeast Asia, US, EU) instead of global noise.
Look for clusters and patterns: formats, claims, silhouettes, or use cases that keep showing up.
At this stage, you're not committing to anything. You're simply turning curiosity about trending products into a structured list of ideas that might be worth taking further.
Once you've spotted interesting patterns, you move into trend validation. The goal: separate real opportunities from short-lived spikes.
See trajectory over time, related search or social signals, and example product formats.
E.g. 'SPF stick' vs 'SPF spray', or 'lip oil' vs 'lip tint' – see which shows stronger patterns.
How many variations already exist? Is there white space in price point, pack size, or claim?
This is where trend validation happens in practice. You're no longer just collecting ideas; you're actively filtering for finding winning product ideas that deserve a sourcing brief.
After trend validation, you're left with a short list of ideas that look promising. The next step is feasibility: turning each idea into a sourcing brief that factories can actually respond to.
Example: 'SPF stick for face', 'pimple patch pack', or 'stackable pantry jars'.
Target price range, approximate MOQ, target regions, launch window, and brand guardrails.
Link directly from Trends to submit briefs with trend references, screenshots, and priorities.
This is where trend-driven sourcing becomes real. You're not just excited about a trend; you're packaging it into a brief that Sourcy can run feasibility checks on.
Once you submit a trend-driven sourcing brief, Sourcy takes over the heavy lifting and plugs it into the sourcing engine.
Shortlists factories that already make similar products. Checks MOQ, price, and timelines.
Gathers structured quotes to compare unit prices, MOQs, lead times, and packaging notes.
Coordinates sample production and helps review against your original trend insight.
Aligns production slots with launch windows. Embeds QC checks and plans shipping.
By the time a trend-driven SKU lands in your warehouse, it has moved through curiosity, trend validation, feasibility, and full production – all inside one connected Sourcy workflow.
The same flow works differently depending on your role.
Everyone looks at the same trend layer, but each team uses it to make their part of the decision sharper.
Start with curiosity in Explore Trends. Use the data for trend validation. Turn your shortlist into a sourcing brief. Let Sourcy handle feasibility and production. That's the full workflow.
