International Sourcing
Finding and assessing suppliers for a stated requirement — before money moves.
What this covers
Finding a seller is not difficult. Telling which seller is the actual manufacturer, which is an intermediary, and which can deliver at the volume and on the date you need, is. Most import problems are decisions taken at this stage.
