Step 1 · Show the need
Start with a bag photo.
You don’t need to know the material names. Turn visible components into an editable sourcing hypothesis.
A preset walkthrough, not live AI analysis or material identification.
Illustrative referenceBlack commuter laptop backpack
What material do you need?
A clearer path from reference photo to samples.
Demo brief: black, structured, water-resistant preference; main fabric at or below RMB 20/m. Prioritize options suitable for sampling.

Shiling scenario onlyThis market-management presentation uses illustrative data. Other markets and cross-market sourcing remain future plans, outside this demo. Real booths, materials, prices and verification dates must replace these placeholders.
Step 2 · Review the materials
Seven components. A draft you can edit.
These AI suggestions are sourcing hypotheses, not a production bill of materials (BOM). Confirm specifications and performance with suppliers or physical samples.
AI suggestions and unknown facts remain labeled. A photo cannot establish composition or performance.

Step 3 · Explore Shiling supply
One request. Materials across the bag.
Organize main fabric, lining and trims into sourcing needs within the Shiling market scenario.
Shiling market-management demo only. All results are illustrative; cross-market sourcing is outside this presentation.
Webbing & zippers
Webbing, zippers, mesh and common bag trims.

Real booths, materials, prices and verification dates must replace these placeholders. No live search or verified stock is shown.
Step 4 · Compare supply
Three candidates. See the differences.
Compare price, minimum order quantity (MOQ), sampling and unknowns before contacting a supplier.
Every booth, material, price, MOQ and sample status below is a preset demo value. Availability is unverified.

Step 5 · Find a lower price
“Could we find something less expensive?”
A lower price comes with trade-offs. Appearance alone is not enough.
Keep the black, structured look. Explore a lower fabric price.
Use candidate A as the baseline. A different weave may be acceptable, but compare abrasion, weight, minimum order and sampling conditions.

Step 6 · Weigh the alternatives
Less expensive. With clear trade-offs.
Compare the potential savings, what stays similar and what needs testing.
Savings use preset demo prices and quantities. Material pricing is not the full manufacturing cost of a bag.
Baseline · Demo data1680D Nylon OxfordRMB 18–20 / m
Suggested demo alternative600D Polyester OxfordRMB 14–15 / m
About 25% lower Demo assumption
Better: potentially lighter, lower price
Similar: black, business look, visual character
Trade-off: potentially lower abrasion resistance; test samples
Second demo alternative900D PolyesterRMB 16–17 / m
About 12% lower Demo assumption
Better: lower MOQ, good structure in this scenario
Similar: weight and business look
Trade-off: coarser weave; abrasion remains unverified
Step 7 · Review sample cart
Three materials. Ready to compare as samples.
The preset cart groups demo materials by booth, color and sample quantity.
No real requests, payments or shipments. Every item is illustrative.

From a demo to a real material network.
A future Shiling pilot could replace illustrative data with real materials and evaluate useful inquiries and samples. These proposed numbers are not current traction or M2 completion.
