Ravi TextilesWhatsApp · Blank tees, spring run · example thread
Agreed
  1. Hi Ravi. Spring run, 2,500 blank tees, 180gsm combed cotton in black. Can you do $8 a unit?
  2. Good morning. For 2,500 pieces I can do $15 each.
  3. That is well over what I have been quoted for 180gsm. I am at $8.40.
  4. Yarn price went up this month. $14 is the best I can do.
  5. Understood. $8.80 and I commit to the full 2,500 this week.
  6. $13.50. Below that I do not make money.
  7. What is your minimum at $9?
  8. 5,000 pieces at $11.20.
  9. 5,000 does not work for me. I need 2,500.
  10. I can send a sample first. $20 for one.
  11. Yes, send the sample. Still at $9 for the run.
  12. $12.50 is my absolute floor.
  13. You quoted $11.20 for 5,000 an hour ago. What changed?
  14. Ok, for 2,500 I can do $11.20.
  15. $9.20 and I send the PO today.
  16. $10.80. Final.
  17. $9.40. No deposit, net 30.
  18. Net 30 is fine. $10.40.
  19. $9.60 and we are done. Same spec, in hand by Oct 30.
  20. Let me check with the factory.
  21. Ok. $9.60 for 2,500, 180gsm black, net 30. Send me the PO.

  22. Agreed at $9.60. Inside your limits. You approve it and send the PO.

  • Never over your ceiling
  • It never moves money
  • Twenty threads at once
  • You approve in minutes

Set it up in minutes.

Tell it what you need and your numbers. It works with your suppliers from there.

  1. 01

    Input what you need

    The garment, fabric, sizes, print, colourways, photos, the date you need it by, your target price and your ceiling.

  2. 02

    It talks to your suppliers

    In your own WhatsApp and Instagram. It makes the offers, holds the line, and gives you the best chance of agreeing on a price.

  3. 03

    You approve, or you do not

    It brings back a deal inside your limits, or the reason it walked. You approve and send the wire.

Every negotiation, one screen.

Every thread in one place: their price, your target and your ceiling.

The whole board

Every live negotiation in one list. Where they opened, where they are now, how far from your ceiling.

Inside one thread

The price path, every number they have stated, and the claims that do not add up.

What is being made

The size run, the print, the colourways and the date. Test a price in the box before a supplier sends it.

Your limits are enforced in code.

The negotiating is a model. The deciding is six rules in plain code, unit tested. Clear all six or nothing closes.

  • Price ceiling

    A price above your ceiling is refused, not talked down from. Plain code checks every offer, and the model gets no say in it.

    “$10.80 a unit, final offer”

    Refused. Ceiling is $10.00.

  • Quantity range

    $9.00 for 5,000 when you asked for 2,500 is not a discount. A cheaper unit price never buys a bigger order.

    “$9.00 if you take 5,000”

    Refused. Range is 2,000 to 3,000.

  • Plausibility floor

    Anything at or below a quarter of your target price is parked as a typo or a scam. Nobody sells for a nickel.

    “$0.05 a shirt, ships tomorrow”

    Parked. Too good to be true.

  • Spec integrity

    A cheaper grade of fabric at $10 is a different product, not a discount. Anything you marked hard spec stays that way, and it says so in the thread.

    “$10.00 at 140gsm instead”

    Refused. 180gsm is hard spec.

  • Money up front

    A deposit, a 30/70 split, anything that moves money before the goods exist gets parked, whatever the price. A limit you stated on Monday still holds on Friday.

    “50% deposit to start the run”

    Parked. Prepayment terms.

  • Exposure cap

    A total across every thread, plus an approval limit above which nothing closes without you. At the cap it stops and comes back to you.

    “$24,000 total commitment”

    Held for approval. Over $20,000.

How the limits are enforced

It writes from your own account.

Messages go out from your own WhatsApp and Instagram, so suppliers are still talking to the brand they know. It does not announce that it is software.

  • Replies take a human amount of time

    Nothing answers a second after they send, at 4am. It answers at a human delay and stops overnight in your timezone.

  • It stays calm when they push

    “I cannot feed my family at that price” has nothing checkable in it. It does not argue back. It does not pay more.

  • It sends messages, not memos

    Four sentences at most. No bullet points, no sign-offs, nothing that reads like a document someone pasted in.

Draft, before it is sent

I'd love to circle back on this. I really appreciate your flexibility, and at the end of the day I want to find something that works for both of us. Does that work for you? Best, Alex

5000 doesn't work for me, I need 2500. But you just came down to 11.20, so let's finish this at 10 flat and I'll send the PO today.

Sent at a human delay. Four sentences, no sign-off, from your own account, at the pace a person answers.

Asked once. “You said 12.50 was the floor on Monday and you're at 11.20 now, so what changed?” No lecture, no second ask.

It remembers every number.

Cost floors, minimums, capacity, deadlines. Every number a supplier states is stored and checked against the rest.

  • $12.50 was their absolute floor. Then they quoted $11.20. It asks what changed, once, without lecturing.
  • The other buyer nobody names. The price that goes up Monday. The boss who has to approve again. Named, and discounted.
  • A price drop paid for by quietly swapping the fabric shows up when the spec is compared.
  • It holds every number they have given you, not just the newest message. You do not have to remember any of it.

Tested before it talks to a real supplier.

It practiced on 12 made-up suppliers and 18 common tricks, like swapping the fabric or asking for a deposit. It passed all of them before it got near a real one.

rules never broken

mistakes allowed

Checked on every simulated transcript

  • Never above your ceiling
  • Never outside your quantity range
  • Never changed a hard spec
  • Never bid against itself
  • Never shared a bank detail

Then an adversarial judge reads each transcript for what a checker cannot see. If anything broke, the run fails loudly.

Where price is a conversation.

Apparel first, because that is what we buy. Anywhere else the price gets argued in a chat thread.

  • Apparel and blanks

    Fabric, GSM and colourway are hard spec. Every quantity break is another round of messages.

  • Packaging and print

    Boxes, mailers, labels. The same argument every quarter with a printer who remembers last time.

  • Components and materials

    Parts, hardware, raw stock. Minimum order quantity is the lever, and arguing it eats your time.

  • Ingredients and supply

    Bulk food, cosmetics inputs, consumables. Few suppliers, long threads, floors worth remembering for months.

  • Freight and logistics

    Per container, per pallet, per run. Quotes arrive as chat and expire on deadlines somebody invented.

  • Events and venues

    Space, catering, equipment. Once a month for you, every day for them. They have more time.

The things people ask first.

What is Temperance?

Temperance is an AI negotiator for supplier sourcing. It runs inside your own WhatsApp and Instagram accounts and handles the back and forth for you. You set a target price, a ceiling, a quantity range and any hard spec. It comes back with a deal that clears all of them, or the reason it walked. It gives you the best chance of agreeing on a price. It does not guarantee one.

How much time does this save me?

A negotiation is usually days of short messages, and most of it is waiting. It carries the opening, the counters, the follow-up nobody wants to send, the supplier who goes quiet for two days. One of ours ran 45 messages. You spend minutes setting the limits and minutes approving the result. Across twenty suppliers, that is a lot of your time back.

How much does Temperance cost?

$299 a month for up to 15 suppliers, $750 a month for up to 50. Past 50, email us for a quote. Every size includes unlimited negotiations, both channels, the console and every model cost. No per-seat pricing, no per-deal fee, no cut of what you save. Pause any month and everything is kept.

Can it spend my money?

No. It has no payment method, no card and no banking details, and will not accept or share any. When a deal closes it tells the supplier the funds are coming. You send the wire.

How does it stop itself paying too much?

Six rules decide, and they are written in plain code, not left to the model. A price ceiling. A quantity range. A plausibility floor that parks anything at or under a quarter of your target price. Hard spec on anything you marked. A block on paying money up front. A total exposure cap with your approval limit on top. An offer has to clear all six or it does not close.

Will the supplier know they are talking to an AI?

It writes inside your own account, and it does not announce that it is software. Suppliers are still talking to the brand they already know. Drafts get checked for anything that reads like a machine wrote it: long paragraphs, filler, bullets, sign-offs. Replies land at a human delay and stop overnight in your timezone. If you would rather tell your suppliers what you are using, that is your call and nothing stops you.
