Open-book cost-plus — visible economics
The trust mechanism behind every Simfy engagement: you see the supplier's cost, you see our fee, and the programme is fully reconciled.
The model
Supplier cost visible. Simfy fee agreed. Decisions documented.
We are not a reseller hiding a margin in the price. The supplier's actual quotation stays visible; Simfy earns an agreed sourcing / management fee, disclosed separately, and the whole programme is reconciled.
- No hidden trading spread
- Multiple qualified bids, documented negotiation
- You approve the supplier and the economics
Commercial ruleWe never promise "lowest price guaranteed." The promise is transparent benchmarking, qualified alternatives, documented negotiation and buyer-aligned economics.

Fee architecture
A model to fit the engagement
| Engagement | Recommended model | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| One-off sourcing transaction | Cost + agreed % / fixed minimum fee | Simple entry model |
| Recurring purchases | Lower cost-plus % linked to annual volume | Rewards repeat business |
| Large procurement programme | Monthly retainer + lower transaction fee | Aligns capacity with programme |
| Supplier development / OEM | Fixed development fee + sourcing fee | Covers engineering & qualification |
| Inspection / QC | Fixed visit fee or actual + management fee | Keeps service transparent |
| Consolidation / logistics | Actual cost + disclosed handling fee | Avoids hidden freight mark-up |
