You need a specific medical product. Right now, finding who makes it means directory searches, trade show floors, and email chains that go quiet for days. There is a faster way — and it takes one sentence.
Via is an AI sourcing assistant built for medical procurement. You tell her what you are sourcing. She comes back with the manufacturers who actually make it, across 80 countries, in seconds.
One sentence replaces the entire search
Type what you need the way you would say it to a colleague:
"Find infusion pump manufacturers from South Korea, or Europe."
That is the whole interaction. No category trees, no filter menus, no guessing whether the product is listed as an "infusion set" or a "giving set" in the directory you happen to be searching.
Via reads the requirement, understands the product, and returns manufacturers ranked by how closely their real catalogue matches what you asked for.
Then keep going
Most sourcing tools stop at a list. Via keeps working.
Ask her to narrow it to Germany. Ask what else a manufacturer produces. Ask her to widen the search to neighbouring countries when a shortlist comes back thin. It is one continuous conversation — every follow-up builds on the last, nothing resets.
This is the part that changes how much ground you can actually cover. Evaluating twelve manufacturers instead of three stops being a question of available hours.
Built on a verified network
Matching quality is capped by data quality — which is why Via runs on Suplivia's verified manufacturer network rather than an open directory.
- 197,000+ medical products across the full supply chain, from consumables to imaging systems
- 9,600+ medical manufacturers in 80 countries
- Matched on real catalogues
When Via tells you a manufacturer makes what you need, it is because their product catalogue says so.
Why speed matters more in 2026
Hospitals have moved from quarterly tenders to rolling RFQs. Response windows that were comfortable two years ago now lose bids.
At the same time, tariff volatility and geopolitical supply chain pressure have made sourcing resilience a first-order evaluation criterion rather than a secondary one (Alira Health, cited in PharmaSource, 2026).
Both pressures point the same direction: you need alternative manufacturers identified before disruption hits, across more regions than you currently cover. Manually, that is weeks of work you do not have. With Via, it is another sentence.
What Via does — and what stays with you
Via identifies who manufactures what, and where they are based. That is the stage that has always been slowest and most manual, and it is the stage she removes.
What she does not do: quote prices, confirm minimum order quantities, verify certification status, or negotiate delivery. Those conversations still happen directly with the manufacturer — Via gets you to them faster, with a better-matched shortlist than a keyword search would ever have produced.
Procurement in medical devices stays linked to patient safety and regulatory outcomes at every step (Graphite Connect, June 2026). Via accelerates discovery. Qualification remains your process, as it should.
