01
Specification
The requirement is translated into sourcing criteria: materials, tolerances, certifications, packaging and any regulatory constraints for the destination market.
Global sourcing, run against your specification.
Not a directory search — a structured route from defined requirement to shortlisted, verified suppliers with comparable terms. The market is chosen to fit the product, not the other way around.
The service
Find suppliers who can actually deliver the requirement
A sourcing search is only as good as its starting definition. We begin by pinning down the specification, quantity, quality bar and destination — then search the markets where that requirement is realistically producible.
02
Supplier
Manufacturers, exporters and distributors are identified and screened against the criteria — capability, product fit and export experience.
03
Comparative quotation analysis
Offers are collected and normalised: unit price, MOQ, lead time, payment terms and Incoterms presented on the same basis.
04
Sample
Samples or pre-production references are coordinated and checked against the stated specification before any commitment.

Questions
About sourcing with us
What do you need from us to start a sourcing search?
A product description or drawing, the target specification, required quantity, the destination country or port, your timeline and any quality or certification requirements. Photographs, reference part numbers and a sample reference all sharpen the search.
How many suppliers do you shortlist?
Typically three to five suppliers per requirement, each presented with comparable commercial terms so the options can be judged on the same basis. Where a market offers clear advantages, we say so — and where it does not, we say that too.
Can you source an item nobody has quoted before?
That is normal work. Custom and made-to-order requirements are sourced against drawings, samples or reference part numbers, including OEM and ODM enquiries and alternative supplier development.
What if the best source is not where we expected?
The search is market-led, not geography-led. The desk matches the product to the regions where production capacity, certification and logistics actually work — including markets you had not considered.
Have a specification ready?
Send it with quantity, destination and timeline. The desk will come back with a sourcing view — including the honest answer if a requirement is not workable.
