Find My Factory Receives "Best Idea of 2025" Award from El Mundo
AI-Powered Supplier Discovery Tool Revolutionizes How Sourcing Professionals Research and Vet Manufacturing Partners
MADRID, SPAIN – Find My Factory, the AI-driven supplier discovery platform transforming procurement workflows, has been honored with the prestigious "Best Idea of 2025" award by El Mundo, one of Spain's leading national newspapers. The award ceremony took place in Madrid, recognizing the company's breakthrough approach to modernizing supplier research and vetting processes for sourcing professionals worldwide.
The award acknowledges Find My Factory's innovative use of AI agents and intuitive platform design to address a critical challenge in procurement: the time-consuming and often unreliable process of discovering and vetting manufacturing suppliers. The platform emerged from the founder's firsthand experience with these inefficiencies following the sale of Playbox of Sweden.
"This recognition from El Mundo validates our mission to fundamentally change how sourcing professionals approach their work," said the company's founder upon receiving the award. "We're not just digitizing existing processes – we're reimagining how supplier discovery and vetting should work in the age of AI."
Transforming Sourcing Through AI Innovation
Find My Factory represents a paradigm shift in procurement technology. Traditional supplier research methods – involving countless hours of manual searches, phone calls, and unstructured vetting processes – are replaced by intelligent AI agents that streamline the entire discovery workflow.
The platform's AI agents work alongside sourcing professionals to:
- Automatically identify potential suppliers based on specific requirements
- Conduct preliminary vetting using multiple data sources
- Generate comprehensive supplier profiles and risk assessments
- Continuously monitor and update supplier information
This AI-powered approach dramatically reduces the time sourcing professionals spend on research, allowing them to focus on strategic decision-making and relationship building.
Simplicity Meets Sophistication
While the technology behind Find My Factory is complex, the user experience is intentionally simple. The platform's intuitive interface ensures that sourcing professionals can harness the power of AI without extensive training or technical expertise.
"We recognized that many sourcing professionals were overwhelmed by complex procurement systems," explained the founder. "Our platform proves that powerful doesn't have to mean complicated. By combining sophisticated AI agents with a simple, user-friendly interface, we're making advanced supplier discovery accessible to everyone."
The platform's design philosophy centers on reducing friction in the sourcing workflow. Features are organized around the natural progression of supplier discovery, from initial search through final vetting, creating an seamless experience that enhances rather than disrupts existing work patterns.
Building the Future of Procurement
The development of Find My Factory exemplifies the importance of collaborative innovation. While the vision originated from personal experience in the industry, creating a platform that could truly transform sourcing workflows required assembling a diverse team of AI experts, procurement professionals, and user experience designers.
"Innovation doesn't happen in isolation," the founder emphasized during the award ceremony. "This achievement belongs to our entire team. Their expertise in AI, deep understanding of sourcing challenges, and commitment to user-centered design have been crucial in creating a tool that sourcing professionals actually want to use."
The platform has undergone extensive refinement based on feedback from sourcing professionals across various industries. This iterative approach has resulted in a tool that addresses real-world procurement challenges while remaining flexible enough to adapt to different sourcing strategies and requirements.
Measurable Impact on Sourcing Efficiency
Find My Factory's impact on procurement operations is already being felt across multiple industries. Early adopters report significant improvements in key sourcing metrics:
- Research Time Reduction: AI agents cut supplier research time by up to 70%
- Vetting Accuracy: Automated vetting processes identify potential risks earlier in the selection process
- Supplier Quality: Data-driven discovery leads to better supplier matches
- Process Standardization: Consistent vetting criteria across all supplier evaluations
These improvements translate directly to bottom-line benefits, including faster time-to-market, reduced procurement costs, and improved supplier relationships. Companies that once seemed unreachable are now actively implementing Find My Factory to modernize their sourcing operations.
Industry Recognition and Validation
El Mundo's "Best Idea of 2025" award represents significant validation from one of Europe's most respected media institutions. The selection process evaluated innovations based on their potential to create meaningful change in their respective industries. Find My Factory's recognition highlights its achievement in addressing a universal business challenge with cutting-edge technology.
The award ceremony in Madrid brought together leading innovators and entrepreneurs from across Europe. Find My Factory's selection from a highly competitive field underscores the platform's unique approach to solving procurement challenges through AI innovation.
"Receiving this award from El Mundo is particularly meaningful because it recognizes not just our technology, but our potential to transform an entire profession," noted the founder. "Sourcing professionals have been underserved by technology for too long. We're changing that."
The Road Ahead: Toward Autonomous Sourcing
While celebrating this milestone achievement, Find My Factory is already pioneering the next evolution in procurement technology. The company's vision extends beyond current capabilities toward what it calls "autonomous sourcing" – a future where AI handles virtually all manual procurement tasks, freeing sourcing professionals to focus exclusively on strategic decision-making and relationship building.
"We're utilizing the power of AI to fundamentally reimagine the sourcing professional's role," explained the founder. "Imagine a world where research, vetting, and even RFx processes become minor details in your schedule rather than consuming entire workdays. That's the future we're building."
