Data-Mining supply chain of competitors

[JesseSteele]

Hi guys. I'm a huge fan of not reinventing the wheel. With our muse ideas we often can benefit by all the money and time spent by competitors or similar businesses. If we can get enough information.

What are some ways of doing this?
-Specifically supply chain. Competitor has found, to their knowledge, the best product at the lowest price. Who is their supplier?

For my muse, this is an issue of clothing manufacture.
- How to find the factory in which a piece of clothing was made in?
- How to find the fabric mill that created their specific fabric?

No reply to this one.

Is that because nobody knows?

Is anyone else having similar issues?

Possibly because it is a waste of time, and spending any energy on an answer only throws you off the course you should be on.

If you can sell an item (tested and proven sales), then supplying your muse is the easy part.
