Which Lot WasThat Part From?
When a unit fails in the field, that answer takes most boutique shops two days of digging through email and invoices. RSG gives it to you in under a minute— every part, lot, and substitution, tracked as you build.
Live data from leading authorized distributors
Move From Reactive to Resilient
Automated Risk Scoring
Compare stock depth, price breaks, minimum order quantities, and lead times across sources side-by-side — so supply risk is visible before you commit a build.
Decision Support Output
Results are normalized into one clear view — same fields, same format, every source — so comparing options takes seconds instead of a dozen open tabs.
Buy Direct, Commission-Free
Checkout happens on the distributor's own site at the distributor's own price — we never mark up parts or sit between you and your supplier.
One Search. Every Source.
Purpose-built for low-volume, high-mix boutique production — live distributor data in one place, with a direct path to purchase.
Multi-Distributor Search
Enter a part number once and search every connected distributor in parallel — including the rare, hard-to-find components boutique builds depend on.
Live Price Breaks
Quantity pricing straight from distributor APIs — see exactly where the breakpoints fall before you size a small-batch run.
Authorized Sources First
Data comes from authorized distributors — not gray-market brokers — so what you see is what the manufacturer's channel actually has.
Stock & Lead Times
Live availability and factory lead times so you can confidently plan single parts and low-MOQ orders without broker-market surprises.
BOM Batch Analysis
Upload a whole Bill of Materials and every line is checked across all connected distributors at once — with automated flags for no-stock, single-source, and lifecycle risk.
Audit-Logged Platform
Searches and account activity are recorded in an append-only audit log — a clean record for your own procurement documentation.
Boutique Sourcing FAQ
The questions niche manufacturers and specialty electronics studios ask before trusting a sourcing partner.
RSG searches authorized distribution channels — not gray-market brokers — so the pricing and stock you see comes from the manufacturer's legitimate supply chain, and your purchase is completed directly on the authorized distributor's own site. That direct relationship is the single most effective protection against counterfeit parts entering a small-batch build.

How Aerion Audio shipped a 400-unit run with zero counterfeit returns
A boutique high-end audio manufacturer, three full-time engineers, and one extremely picky DAC chip.
The Challenge
Aerion's flagship reference DAC depends on a long-lead AKM converter that went into 52-week allocation overnight. Their broker offered "equivalent" stock — but on a 400-unit boutique run, a single counterfeit batch would have wiped the quarter.
The Approach
RSG's equivalency engine surfaced two pin-compatible alternates from authorized small-batch distributors, scored each on counterfeit-risk and lead time, and generated a chain-of-custody report ready for their reviewers — in 11 minutes, not 11 days.
The Outcome
- 400 units shipped on the original launch window — zero counterfeit returns
- $84K saved versus the broker quote, with full audit-trail traceability
- Sourcing decision time cut from 11 days to under 15 minutes
