The right factory. For your product. Always.

Why we started

Finding a factory shouldn't take months.

We know, because it took us months. We wanted to make our own drink, and just finding someone to produce it meant hours of searching, outdated directories, and dozens of cold emails to get a single reply back. Thousands of buyers run that same search every day. So we built the thing we wished we had: tell Zora what you need, and meet a factory that actually fits, in an afternoon instead of a season.

How it works

From a sourcing question to a delivered order.

01 · Describe

Describe your need in plain English.

No forms. Zora asks a couple of follow-ups, only where they change the match. And you don't need an account to start.

Zora, the ZoraMatch guide
I interview you about what you need. Plain English is fine.
02 · Search

Zora searches the entire library.

Your brief runs across tens of thousands of verified suppliers. Hard filters (sector, certifications, capacity, region) narrow the field to a qualified few in seconds.

Zora, the ZoraMatch guide
Now I search tens of thousands of verified suppliers for you.
03 · Shortlist

Get a shortlist with the reason for every match.

Relevance first, then an AI re-ranker. Each manufacturer arrives with a written reason. Ranking cannot be bought.

Zora, the ZoraMatch guide
I rank the best fits and tell you why each one matches.
04 · Close

Negotiate and close in a shared workspace.

Settle terms against a live order draft that updates as you talk, with full version history and one-click PDF export.

Zora, the ZoraMatch guide
I draft your order live while you settle the terms.
05 · PayPreview

Pay on the terms in the draft you accepted.

Payment terms, milestones and the total all sit in the order draft you both agreed. Paying through ZoraMatch is a preview and is not live yet.

Today you settle the invoice with the supplier directly, on the terms in the draft. An escrow-style payment inside ZoraMatch comes later.

Zora, the ZoraMatch guide
Paying through me is a preview. Today you settle with the supplier on the agreed terms.
06 · TrackPreview

Follow the order to your door.

The delivery date and the incoterms are in the agreed draft, so both sides work from the same document. Tracking inside ZoraMatch is a preview and is not live yet.

Today the supplier ships the way they always do and tells you when it leaves. Tracking inside ZoraMatch comes later.

Zora, the ZoraMatch guide
Tracking through me is a preview. Today your supplier ships and says when it leaves.

The ZoraMatch difference

From months to minutes.

What used to take a season of searching now takes a single conversation.

One platform

Three ways to use it. One place to work.

Screen the requests that come in, find factories that fit what you need, and settle the terms in one shared workspace. It is the same platform underneath.

For manufacturers

Your side of the platform

Fill in what your factory can make once. Zora screens every request against it, so what reaches your inbox is already qualified.

See the factory side
Verified manufacturers
  • Company registration
  • Quality certificates
  • What they say they can make

Checked before they can be matched

The badge is earned with identity and quality checks. It cannot be bought.

Every match is scored

A fit score belongs to one request and one factory together. It is not a star rating, so the same factory scores differently on the next order.

Built to protect you

Trust isn't a badge. It's the architecture.

Three promises wired into the platform, not bolted on after the fact.

Your leads stay yours

Widget leads are walled off from the marketplace. They are never shown to a competing supplier, ever.

Ranking can't be bought

Every match arrives with a written, plain-language reason. No paid placement, no pay-to-rank.

EU-hosted, GDPR-native

Data stays inside the EU (Frankfurt region), built to GDPR from the very first commit.

How the match is made

What we check before a name reaches you

Zora reads every request, then holds it against the things that decide whether a factory can actually make it. Only what clears those checks gets ranked.

  1. Buyers describe what they need

  2. Zora reads the request

  3. What we check

    • Sector and product
    • Certifications (ISO, BRC)
    • Capacity fits your volume
    • MOQ fits your volume

    Only what clears these gets ranked
