Option C · CrossMyPart Franchised

Vetted Asian-manufacturer parts, fulfilled directly by CrossMyPart.

Every CrossMyPart search returns three options. Options A and B come from the global distributor catalogues. Option C comes from us — a curated shortlist of manufacturers with vetted commercial relationships. It’s designed to be a high-confidence starting point for engineers looking for Asian-manufacturer alternatives without the western-brand price premium — always verify against the datasheet.

01

Curated, not scraped

The franchised list is a small set of manufacturers we maintain vetted commercial relationships with, curated for consistency and supply-chain stability. It is deliberately narrow — coverage grows one manufacturer at a time.

02

Fulfilled directly

Every Option C part is fulfilled directly by CrossMyPart. That means consistent handling and support from a single source, with parts shipped from our fulfillment hub — not routed through a distributor reroute.

03

Score-gated recommendations

Option C only surfaces when a franchised part scores at or above our promotion threshold (typically 90%) against the source part on the same rubric that ranks Option B. A franchised part that doesn’t clear the bar stays in More Alternatives, honestly flagged for review — never in the Recommended slot.

04

Price advantage, not price lottery

Asian-manufacturer parts routinely cost 40–80% less than the western incumbents they replace. The catch has always been verifying they’re actually a close match. Our vetting closes that gap: if it’s on our franchised list, it’s a part fulfilled directly by CrossMyPart.

How each option compares

Option A
Original

The exact part number you searched for. Sourced from the global distributor with the best current price and stock.

Option B
Best Alternative

The highest-scoring cross-reference across the global supplier network. Attribute-matched against the source — the best-scoring alternative from Asian manufacturers outside our franchised list.

Option C
CrossMyPart Franchised

The best fit from our vetted franchised catalogue — same rubric, same match score, but you’re buying from us with the faster fulfillment and better economics that come with it.

Match scores reflect attribute alignment against the source part — they are not a guarantee of drop-in compatibility. Always verify against the manufacturer datasheet before use.
