Agent 0.5 vs. End-to-End Agent Services: Key Differences.

The “Agent 0.5" service provides support for existing supplier relationships, where you have already identified and vetted your suppliers.

The “End-to-End Agent" service, however, includes full supplier sourcing — finding and qualifying new or alternative suppliers on your behalf.

Example Scenario:
You want to purchase products from China or establish a relationship with a new supplier, but you haven’t yet conducted sourcing or finalized a supplier.

  • With "End-to-End Agent", we handle the entire supplier search, verification and selection process for you.

  • With "Agent 0.5", you provide the pre-vetted supplier, and we manage the procurement and logistics.

This distinction ensures you select the right level of support based on your sourcing needs.


Key Benefits:

End-to-End Agent – Ideal if you need a turnkey solution from supplier discovery to delivery.

Agent 0.5 – Best when you already have trusted suppliers and require execution support.
