SOLON, Ohio – In a move to help retailers adapt to an evolving global trade environment, RangeMe and ECRM have introduced TariffSmart Sourcing, a new initiative designed to streamline product discovery by region of origin.
As shifting tariffs and supply chain disruptions challenge traditional sourcing models, TariffSmart Sourcing allows retail and foodservice buyers to find products made in trade-friendly regions that support their cost, compliance, and sourcing strategies.
“With all the uncertainty around tariffs, buyers are being more selective when sourcing their products,” said Wayne Bennett, SVP of Retail for ECRM & RangeMe. “The TariffSmart Sourcing initiative streamlines the process of discovering products from regions with favorable rates.”
Retail and foodservice buyers—from enterprise chains to independent shops—can browse curated collections on RangeMe and participate in targeted discovery campaigns and ECRM Sessions designed around origin-based sourcing needs.
Buyers can now explore curated product collections on RangeMe by country and region, including the USA, Canada, Europe, East and Southeast Asia, South America, Africa, and more. This targeted approach ensures faster and smarter sourcing that aligns with trade policies and regional preferences.
Suppliers subscribed to RangeMe (Starter, Premium, or Pro) will be included in high-visibility collections and can participate in sourcing events where origin is a key purchasing criterion.
TariffSmart Sourcing represents a comprehensive solution for buyers and suppliers navigating a complex trade landscape, reinforcing RangeMe and ECRM’s roles as leaders in digital sourcing and retail innovation.
Brands participating in TariffSmart receive:
● Inclusion in a high-visibility Collection based on their Primary Country of Origin
● Access to Immediate Opportunities campaigns curated for origin-based sourcing
● Opportunities to participate in ECRM Sessions where origin matters to buyers
● Year-round visibility with retailers focused on tariff-smart, local, or regionally compliant sourcing
Brands can showcase their country of origin and capabilities to buyers by submitting to the TariffSmart campaign on RangeMe here.
