What tools are people using for sourcing/supplier management early on?

I'm part of a very early-stage startup and recently started helping with sourcing/supplier stuff. Honestly i didn't realize how messy it gets once you're talking to multiple suppliers at the same time. Right now everything is spread across spreadsheets, emails, screenshots, and notes. Just wondering what other small teams are using early on. Do most people just use spreadsheets, or are there tools that actually help organize supplier/product info better?

Genuinely curious because I feel like I'm either using way too many or way too few compared to everyone else.

I'm on the Meshy pro plan and I go through maybe 400-500 credits a month. Most of that is text-to-3D with a bunch of retextures mixed in. I regenerate a lot because I'm picky about silhouettes.

Some months I barely touch it. Other months I'm generating 20 things in one sitting for a project and burning through credits fast.

What's your usage like? And do you feel like the credit system is fair for what you get? Not trying to start a pricing debate just curious about actual usage patterns.
