copper was cheaper.

How margin slips away
The Problem
You quoted a job Monday at $3.20/lb copper. Wednesday the market jumps 4% — but your price sheet isn't updated until next quarter. That job just cost you margin you didn't know you were giving away.
What SourceFlow does
Copper index at quote $13,662/ton
Copper index at delivery $14,210/ton (+4.0%)
Your adjusted price at order $3.33/lb

How SourceFlow Works

You keep your customers. We keep your pricing accurate.

01

Connect via API

One REST call to /api/commodities and /api/products with your API key. Your system gets live index values and product pricing — no spreadsheets, no manual updates.

02

Apply your margins

You price on top of our commodity data. Markup, flat fee, or tiered — your margin model, your rules. We return the base commodity price; you control what the customer pays.

03

72-hour price lock

When a customer places an order, the commodity price locks for 72 hours. No mid-order swings. Your margin is guaranteed at quote time — not invoice time.

The Pricing Engine

Plug into live commodity data in one line of code.

SourceFlow's API returns live commodity indices and product-level pricing updated per-order. Integrate once, and every quote your supply house sends reflects the real market — not last quarter's list.

REST API — zero SDK required
GET /api/commodities returns all four indices. GET /api/products returns catalog with live commodity-adjusted base prices. Auth via Bearer token.
72-hour price lock on every order
Orders lock the commodity price at placement time. Neither side gets surprised by a mid-order market move. Guaranteed margin.
No inventory, no shipping
SourceFlow is the intelligence layer. You own inventory, customer relationships, and fulfillment. We price it.

Partnership Models

Two ways to partner. Both keep your customers under your brand.

PREFERRED
Model A

Pricing-as-a-Service

SourceFlow acts as your intelligence layer. You integrate our API, set your own margins, and serve your customers under your brand — no inventory, no shipping, no fulfillment.

API access to live commodity indices
You control pricing and margins
No inventory or shipping overhead
72-hour price lock per order
Best for
Established supply houses with existing customer bases who want real-time pricing without holding inventory.
Model B
FALLBACK

Buy & Resell

SourceFlow holds light inventory and competes on transparent, live commodity-adjusted pricing. Activates if no supply house partnership materializes.

SourceFlow holds light inventory
Full order fulfillment
Transparent commodity pricing
72-hour price lock per order
