SuanSupply makes tools, guides and news for small sellers and importers. Pay-once apps and templates, free calculators, and plain-English guides to sourcing, tariffs and marketplace fees.
Where the name comes from
Suan is 算 (pronounced "swan"), which means to calculate or plan. It comes from the Chinese phrase 精打细算: careful, detailed planning. That's what running a small business takes, and it's what these tools help you do.
The swan in our seal is a nod to the pronunciation.
- 算suànto calculate, to plan
- 精打细算jīng dǎ xì suànto plan every detail carefully
Who is behind it
SuanSupply was founded by a bilingual English and Mandarin speaker who has worked on both sides of trade between China and North America.
The first tools came from watching small brands struggle with the same problems: quotes that didn't match what they asked for, samples that came back wrong, and orders that looked profitable until freight and fees showed up.
