Search any part number or brand to see every company in the 3E network that carries it — across 105,000+ vetted suppliers, built from nearly 40 years of direct sourcing relationships.
Backup discovery in the background
Our deep research system investigates and verifies additional suppliers automatically after you search. When a new source appears — domestic, nearshore, or global — we email you.
Tariff-resilient sourcing
40% of U.S. companies are relocating at least part of their supply chains to North America by 2026 (Deloitte). Search domestic, nearshore, and international alternatives in a single query.

Example
Tariff spike, 72 hours to react
New tariffs hit your primary supplier’s country of origin. Landed cost jumps 18% overnight. Search the part number on 3E — seven alternative suppliers appear across the US and Mexico. You unlock the top three, send RFQs, and leave the search running. Within a week, our deep research system surfaces four more verified sources, including one US distributor that cuts landed cost by 12%.
