Revolutionizing Sourcing with AI: How Accio Saves You Time & Money!

Have you ever struggled to find the perfect supplier or validate a product idea, wasting weeks on research? I've been selling on Amazon over seven years and coaching students for over five years. And I'll tell you, this is one of the leading causes of people never getting started. They fall into analysis paralysis, even finding the high quality product they wanted to start. And then when it comes to the full business plan, they completely fall short and never get started. Well, the AI tool Axio just made sourcing way easier with two brand new features, business research and deep search. Today, I'm going to show you exactly how these game changing tools completely transformed the way you source and launch your products. I'll leave a link in the description below for Axio.

And with these new features, it's even more powerful than before. I'd estimate Axio users find the right product and product quotation within one day. And you end up turning that two week process of negotiating and finding the right product that you normally would spend into a 10 second process, saving you 99% of time. Using Axio is extremely efficient, resourceful, and smart. It pretty much feels like you're speaking directly with a professional product research specialist. So again, we're going to look at two of their brand new features, deep search, which helps provide instant solutions for any complex sourcing requirements and their business research tool, which validates business ideas with real time data and market trends. So we'll start with business research and I'll show you exactly how it helps you make smarter decisions when launching a new business. So I'll go ahead and start by clicking on the business research tool. And I'm going to go ahead and simply ask it this question. I'm launching a trending brand in the eco-friendly home goods niche. How can I make this business profitable and sustainable? I'll go ahead and run the search button right here. And you can see it pretty much spit out an entire business plan in a matter of seconds, sourcing from over 34 different websites and 38 total sources. So you can see it's analyzed all the requirements for my new business idea, starting with what are going to be the sustainable materials that I can start putting on my packaging for the product. So we'll see we want to start sourcing with things around organic cotton, reclaimed wood, bamboo, recycled materials, and even giving me ideas like potentially partnering with other artisans and handmade product producers and ecocentric suppliers. That's going to help me build trust. And that's going to reach right back to the consumer leading to me, building this better brand. And I can even jump into any of the 38 different resources here. We have an article from Forbes, which I can look at talks about 20 strategies for balancing business sustainability with profitability. And I can learn more about exactly how to market these products to my customers. This looks like a pretty helpful website right here. What are 20 interior design trends for 2025? These are even ideas I can use maybe in my product photography. I can kind of portray the vibe exactly what my customers want to see, when purchasing this type of a product, we have integrated outdoor living, you know, actually one of my earlier on students started to sell high ticket outdoor, waterproof TVs that ended up doing really well. And he was really profitable with those. And that was all having to do with this integrated outdoor living. We have a waterproof TV outside on their patio while they're barbecuing. They have the TV they're watching the football game or whatever's going on. So these articles are really helpful to give you even more ideas, but I can go ahead and scroll down and even collect more information about this business idea. I want to start up. I can potentially integrate something about a circular economy and waste reduction talking about, Hey, we'll buy this product back. If it was a defect and we'll go ahead and recycle it and reuse those materials to produce a new refurbished product or a brand new one, just really educating the consumer and being fully transparent with them, educating them through product storytelling, highlighting certifications that we get from our suppliers, and really just aligning with 2025 design trends. I've definitely heard of the rustic look kind of talking about that exposed brick maybe, or the rattan type products. And Axio is even pulling from articles showing me exactly the consumer preferences that they want in their types of products, maybe down to the types of colors they want in it. It looks like 52% of customers like earthy colors with these types of products. Axio is giving me ideas about how I should price and market my products. So we want to go with premium pricing and overall it looks like sustainable products command 15 to 20% higher prices, but you have to justify these costs through the quality and ethics. So it's also really important to see how is the demand changing for this specific eco-friendly type niche. So I can type in that query right into Axio itself and it instantly gives me specific information about the demand for this niche. I can see right here, there is a growing consumer demand for sustainability. Eco-friendly and home lifestyle products is rising significantly driven by an increase of environmental issues. Over 75% of consumers prioritize eco-friendly practices when purchasing home goods products and 64% consider sustainability a factor in all buying decisions. And what's even more of a crazy insight is it says right here, notably 80% of consumers are willing to pay a premium for sustainable products and some willing to accept up to a 9.7% increase. This is again coming from over 18 sources from Mark wide research and even down to Shopify. So people are that are in the trenches, selling products every day are noticing these trends. So you can see Axio's business research is solving a lot of the pain points, small to medium sized entrepreneurs face when getting a new business idea off the ground. And this was all information gathered on one question I asked this software. If I wanted any followup questions, I can use the chat box down here and ask any other questions to dive deeper. It's literally showing you actual product recommendations and ideas that fit the niche that you're trying to get into. We have like a baby bassinet from $2 to $4. Now if I want to look at profitability and pricing on these types of products, I can even just jump into Amazon and right here I have baby loungers, baby bassinets, 4,299, 4,999, over a thousand sales in the last month, 800 sales in the last month. Of course people are going to be very conscious, especially when putting their baby into some type of fabric. So having an eco friendly type label on your product and packaging is really going to calm those customers looking for this type of product. And I can actually press compare on a few of these. So this is the super comparison feature. It allows you to easily discover and compare millions of products from leading suppliers focusing on only the best selling and most competitive options. These are all products that meet that criteria I'm looking for and I selected a few to compare. I can press the compare button right here. And Axios specifically giving me like right in green numbers here, like the cheapest option I can get, the minimum order quantity, a thread count and how much annual output the supplier is actually doing. So this supplier is doing a lot of output. They're creating a lot of high quality products and that's proven because they're making a ton of sales and people are buying from them heavily. We see they've been a verified supplier for over 10 years. So this comparison chart gives you a real quick look at exactly the supplier you want to start messaging first. So now that we know we want to be in the eco friendly niche, let's take a look at Axios deep search to dive deeper into different product categories. Axios AI can solve any complex requirements in a matter of seconds by scanning through millions of supplier listings, historical data and price trends to give you the most relevant high quality options for your products. Being an e-commerce seller, this solves so many pain points that I'd normally run into when doing traditional sourcing. I no longer have to manually filter through hundreds of suppliers or look at outdated or inflated pricing. And I can instantly scan through tons of suppliers to see their credibility and reviews. So instead of wasting days emailing suppliers and waiting for those complicated sourcing needs, I have everything I need pretty much instantly. So let's run a deep search right now. In Axio, the first thing I got to do is switch on the deep search filter. So the whole benefit of using deep search is you can ask it a really complex question and it's going to give you a really detailed answer. So I typed in a really long tail question for this one. I'm looking for an eco friendly, innovative product that's targeted towards the Gen Z audience. The design of the product needs to fit the aesthetic of Gen Z as well as being easily recognized in the market. The material of this product needs to be environmentally friendly and sustainable, and it can be a high end product line with high pricing and high profit margins. So we'll go ahead and run that search right now and you can see how deep searches actually analyzing this information. First it takes a look at my initial information collection. So it knows I'm looking for a Gen Z audience with high end design and prices. And then it's taking a look at a bunch of different queries online, like innovative product markets, high end design trends, high end product reviews, eco friendly product trends. It's taking a look at all this information online. So I don't have to do that. Not only that it's reading over 31 different articles from Forbes to BBC to good housekeeping, and then it's understanding my requirements. So it's only taking the best information from those articles. And now we can see it's exploring emerging trends like solar powered wearables and tech accessories, biodegradable, high fashion material, modular phone cases with recycled ocean plastics, solar powered portable water purifiers. That actually sounds really interesting to me. So it already found me a bunch of different product options I can look at right here from the smart composting devices. They look a little expensive here, but the order quantities are kind of small. So I imagine if I order more, I can get a cheaper price. And there's other key considerations I can input right here. Like what's the order quantity I want to be able to purchase at a minimum product attributes like solar charging, modular design. I can select these things right here. But one of the coolest things I saw there was the solar powered water filter. So I'm just typing that in the bottom here. I still have deep search on. So I took my favorite piece of information from that first deep search, and now I'm running another deep search to go even deeper on a specific product that I think can be really profitable. And you can see how the AI works. It's constantly revising. So it's starting with one search of different products, then revising the search strategy, finding a deeper level of products here. And it just goes on and on. That's why you want to ask deep search really complex questions so it can dive into exactly the type of product you're looking at. It just came up with a bunch of different solar powered water filters here. It says it right here. This water filter offers a solar powered operation and alkaline ceramic filtration. From here, I could just take a look at one that I'm kind of interested in. And if I really want to reach out to the supplier, I can do that right here by pressing chat. Now you can see the filter life is six months. There's a five stage filter in it and the different functions on it from having a flashlight to SOS signal. I can see the supplier reviews here, which is only 3.8 stars. So not that great. Maybe I can find this product being produced by another supplier and go from there. I can also see their average response time, which is less than three hours. So I'm sure they'll get back to me right away. And one of the things that really stands out to me is the fact that it's really giving me verified suppliers and manufacturers to work with right away. This was always a real issue with me starting a new product. I wanted to make sure I was actually buying from the manufacturer and not just a trading company. Not only that, I wanted to make sure I was buying from a reputable supplier with the verified badge, which meant there was a third party inspection company that came in to make sure all the manufacturing practices were followed to protocol. When you're purchasing from a trading company, you're usually buying from a middleman, which means they don't have the customization that a manufacturer would for a product. And they're probably going to upcharge it because they need to make profit on what they were already purchasing from the manufacturer. So I'm really happy that I can see it shows the actual verified manufacturer badge versus over here. You can see it just says verified. So that probably means they are a trading company and not an actual manufacturer. Now you can see there's a lot of different AI tools that you could use, but honestly, Axio really stands out from ChatGBT and other tools like Perplexity, mainly because you can see right here with ChatGBT, when you ask it any question, it really only gives you a text based answer. Whereas Axio jumps right to the point and gives you the verified manufacturers and the suppliers you need to instantly be able to press contact now and reach out to those suppliers to make the deal.
