Throughout the sourcing process, factors such as product quality and specifications, supply capacity, payment terms, minimum order quantities, delivery times, geographic location, and overall commercial feasibility are considered to help provide Hoorban’s team with more suitable options for further evaluation and negotiation.
Depending on the type of product and target market, Hoorban utilizes its network of partners and specialized business connections across different countries. Final supplier selection is made after evaluating the commercial, technical, and operational aspects of each transaction.
