Hula Global vs SupplyCompass

SupplyCompass is a software that brings you and your manufacturer on the same platform. Once you get on-boarded with the platform, you and your supplier are on your own.

Hula Global on the other hand is sourcing company that gets you the product as per your timelines and quality standards.

Hula Global is not just a software or a solution but an entire

On SupplyCompass is just a software -you have to do vendor management on your own. Find relevant suppliers, talk to them, evaluate each supplier based on their capabilities, complete the product development and execute the order by working closely with your chosen supplier.

Hula Global on the other hand does the entire vendor management for YOU.

SupplyCompass is based in United Kingdom whereas Hula Global is based in India. Most suppliers on the SupplyCompass platforms tend to be from Turkey or Eastern Europe leading to hire product prices.

Hula Global’s location gives it an unfair advantage because not only it has direct on-ground access to Indian suppliers but also suppliers from Vietnam, Bangladesh and Vietnam.

Hula Global has very strong quality parameters and a very large on-ground quality team to ensure those quality standards are maintained by the partner factories at every stage of the production.

SupplyCompass on the other hand maintains no quality team on-ground which means that you would have to depend on factories word of mouth on agreed quality or arrange third party inspection on your own.

Hula Global’s partner factories adhere to Hula Global Standard Code of Conduct. It doesn’t matter whether your brand is a startup brand or a large big box retailer – the code of conduct remains the same in terms of accountability.

SupplyCompass on the other hand has no certain code of conduct.

Since SupplyCompass is an open-ended, any supplier can pay the fees and get listed. Only Basic documentation and due diligence is done before getting listed on SupplyCompass.

Hula Global on the other hand maintains a very strong, tight knit community of vendors. The average waiting period of a supplier is 78 days from the date of application and a supplier has to clear of 128 points of validation including site visit by Hula Global’s team, before being formally inducted into Hula Global’s supplier ecosystem.

SupplyCompass is based on software subscription model for the suppliers whereas as a brand you don’t pay anything. 

Hula Global offers pricing in 3 tiers

3. Door-to-door Pricing: This is also known as DDP (Duty and Delivery Paid) and it includes product price + shipping + Duties: This pricing done for orders with at least 30 CBM (corresponding to one 20 FT container)

Logistics support is included in the production order. Hula Global has an in-house logistics team and can price your door-to-door cost instead of FOB pricing. This would include product cost + shipping + duties (DDP): There are separate MOQ eligibility for these orders.

SupplyCompass on the other hand, if you choose, then you would have to depend on the logistically ability of your chosen factory or you might have to arrange on your own.
