Poly9 for makers in Ethiopia

Addis leather, priced by hide and stitch.

Ethiopia’s leather is among the finest in the world. Addis Ababa’s workshops turn it into bags, belts and shoes for brands in Europe and the United States, while the industrial parks at Hawassa sew garments to order. Poly9 prices leather by the square foot and labor by the piece from your recipe and quotes in dollars the same day.

Questions makers in Ethiopia ask.

Leather is priced by the square foot and the grade.
Leather grades are materials with a rate per square foot. The recipe reads the pattern’s area, the grade the buyer named and the stitching hours, and prices the piece with each on its line.
Brands want to see their logo on the bag.
Upload the logo and your AI renders the embossing on the bag in the chosen tan, labeled as a render, before a sample is cut. The die charge is its own line on the quote.
What if it doesn’t know a price?
It says “price on request” and drafts the quote request for you. It never estimates. Ask it to price an option you have not set up and watch it ask for the rule instead of inventing a number.
How long until it works?
The same day. Create an account, add your catalog or start with your industry’s sample catalog, and ask. Add one pricing rule and the first certified quote goes out in that session. Big catalogs get a white-glove import from us.
