We are your eyes and hands

Neither. Apolo is an independent procurement advisory firm. We don't own inventory, we don't mark up product, and we are never paid by the factory. You pay us directly — which is the only thing that reliably keeps an advisor on your side of the table.

The corridor, not the category. Qualifying a factory, structuring terms, controlling quality, and getting a container delivered work the same way whether you're buying panels, panels of solar cells, or pallets of frozen salmon. What doesn't transfer between industries is knowing how to operate between Asia and the Americas — and that's the part we're specialized in.

We've worked across wine and beverage, wood and panels, solar and energy, industrial machinery, and seafood and produce. If your category isn't on that list, the question isn't whether we've bought it before. It's whether the process is the same. It usually is.

Yes, and it's a common way to start. Many engagements begin with an existing supplier that needs to be verified, benchmarked, or brought under control — not replaced. Sometimes the answer is that your supplier is fine and your process isn't. We'll tell you that.

No. Each one stands alone. Most clients start at the stage where it already hurts and expand once they've seen how we work.

A fixed project fee for a defined scope, a success fee of 3–8% of order value paid by the buyer, or a monthly retainer. Agreed upfront, based on scope. We are never paid by the supplier.

Companies importing on a recurring or strategic basis, where a bad container is a real financial event rather than a rounding error. We're not built for one-off purchases or price-only sourcing.
