Expertise
Material sourcing research, specification comparison and shopping-agent fee structures
Elena Vasquez handles sourcing research and specification comparison at Tigbuy Gear Sheets. She spent six years in supply-chain analysis for a footwear importer, reconciling mill spec sheets against what actually arrived in the warehouse, and joined the desk in 2021. She maintains the order log, keeps the comparison tables honest, and writes the agent-experience sections that tell readers how long a purchase really takes.
- Mill specification sheets
- Denier and fabric weight claims
- Shopping-agent fee structures
- Delivery-window tracking
- Comparison table construction
- Product documentation and paperwork
How I test
Elena traces each product back to a mill or maker specification where one exists, then checks the claim against our own bench numbers and flags any gap in the sheet. She maintains a dated log of agent fees, quoted delivery windows and actual arrival dates, and rebuilds each comparison table from that log rather than from listing copy.
