Core Principle: In B2B procurement, more results do not equal better decisions. Sourcing excellence lies in condensing thousands of raw catalog matches into a high-confidence shortlist of 3 to 5 vetted manufacturers. This guide details when to engage Accio's Deep Search AI reasoning and how to manipulate Filter & Apply parameters.

1. Standard Search vs. Deep Search Architecture

Accio features a two-tiered exploration architecture tailored for varying procurement complexities:

  • Standard Sourcing Mode: Performs sub-second semantic matching against 200M+ products. Best suited for broad category ideation, baseline price benchmarking, and standard catalog lookups;
  • Deep Search Mode: Activates a multi-step autonomous research agent. It automatically extracts technical specifications from product blueprints, cross-references factory inspection certificates (TÜV/SGS audits), calculates estimated landed costs, and evaluates supplier response agility.

2. The 3-Step Result Refinement SOP

  1. Step 1: Execute Initial Semantic Sourcing — Submit your structured prompt via the 4-element framework;
  2. Step 2: Engage Deep Search & Dynamic Facets — Click the "Deep Search" toggle to trigger in-depth document extraction. Review dynamically populated facet filters (e.g., MOQ thresholds, export market track record, ISO certifications);
  3. Step 3: Apply Filter Constraints & Add to Favorites — Adjust target price sliders, enforce "Verified Supplier Only", and click Apply. Pin the top 3-5 candidates into your "Favorites" shortlist for subsequent Super Comparison and RFQ dispatch.

3. Practical Checklist: Eliminating Intermediaries

🛡️ Filter Configuration for Genuine Source Factories

  • Check Verified Supplier (金品诚企) to guarantee physical on-site audit verification by TÜV Rheinland or SGS;
  • Enforce Trade Assurance support for contract and escrow security;
  • Set Customization Capacity > 500 pcs/month to weed out small reselling dropshippers;
  • Verify R&D Staff > 5 engineers on the factory profile page for custom mold capability.

4. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

❓ What is the difference between standard Accio search and Deep Search?

Standard search performs rapid semantic keyword and attribute matching. Deep Search triggers an autonomous multi-step reasoning agent that parses complete product specification sheets, factory audit reports, compliance certifications, and transaction history, delivering a tightly curated shortlist.

❓ When should I trigger Deep Search in Accio?

Activate Deep Search when sourcing complex OEM/ODM products requiring stringent compliance (FDA, CE, UL, ISO13485), customized tooling, low MOQ thresholds, or when standard search results contain too many generic intermediaries.

❓ How do Filter and Apply facets work in Accio?

Accio dynamically generates contextual filter facets (e.g., Material Grades, Production Capacity, Minimum MOQ, Auditing Body). Adjusting these sliders and clicking Apply instantly re-ranks the candidate pool without losing conversational context.
