Kazbegi Inc. · Global sourcing and product commercialization

Sourcing and manufacturing help for companies that make physical products

I’m Geoff Boone. For 15 years I’ve found and qualified factories, moved production between countries, and taken products from drawings into production. I charge flat fees and take no commissions from factories.

What companies usually bring me in for

You need a new manufacturer and don’t want to choose one from a marketplace listing.
Tariffs or rising costs have you looking at other countries, and you need the real landed cost before committing.
The sample is right, but tooling, packaging, quality checks, and production are still unsettled.
Too much of the business runs through one factory or one country.
You need an experienced sourcing lead for a few months, not another full-time executive.

How I’m paid

I charge a flat fee for the work. I don’t take commissions from factories and I don’t mark up your unit price, so I have no reason to push you toward any supplier.

If a factory isn’t right for you, I’ll say so. If the project isn’t ready for a supplier search, I’ll say that too.

Why the fee model matters

Ways to work together

Every project starts with a written scope, price, and schedule, and a clear split of who does what.

Sourcing Sprint

From $4,500 · 2 to 3 weeks

I screen the field, put the quotes on the same basis, and tell you which factories deserve more of your time.

Factory visits and supplier assessments

Planning from $3,500

I build the agenda around what you need to verify, then document what the supplier could prove.

Production launches and supplier moves

From $8,000

For products heading into production or moving to a new supplier or country.

Fractional sourcing advisory

From $2,500 per month

Regular help with supplier decisions, without a full-time hire. Initial three-month term.

Who you’d be working with

I’ve spent my career in sourcing and supply chain inside companies that design and sell physical products. I’ve negotiated with suppliers across Asia and beyond, worked on factory floors, and launched products in textiles, consumer goods, chemicals, molded parts, and technical assemblies.

When you hire Kazbegi Inc., you get me. I scope the work, visit the factories, and write the recommendation myself.
