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.

How this service is delivered

  1. Turns a requirement into a technical specification that can be quoted

  2. Identifies candidate suppliers in the target markets

  3. Assesses a supplier before requesting a price

  4. Collects and compares offers on a common basis

  5. Arranges samples and pre-shipment inspection, on request

What you receive

  • A comparison of suppliers on a common basis, with the assessment documentation behind it.

When this fits

When you know the commodity but not the source — or when the current supplier has stopped working and a second option is needed.
