Sourcing

Sourcing

Some buyers know exactly what they need but not where to buy it — or they have a supplier and want a second source before they become dependent on one. That is what this service is for.

What we do

  1. 01

    Define the requirement

    Specification, quantity, target price, delivery point, timeline and any certification the goods must carry. Ambiguity at this stage is what produces the wrong goods later.

  2. 02

    Search the supply base

    We work our existing supplier relationships first, then extend the search across the EU market — manufacturers, importers, distributors and stockholders.

  3. 03

    Verify the supplier

    Company registration and VAT status, trading history, ability to produce the documentation the goods require, and capacity to hold the volume you need over time.

  4. 04

    Arrange samples

    Before a first order of any size, you get a sample or a pre-shipment inspection. We coordinate it and we pay attention to what comes back.

  5. 05

    Price the landed cost

    Not the ex-works price — the price at your door, including transport, packaging, pallet exchange and any handling in between.

  6. 06

    Present the options

    Usually two or three, with the trade-offs stated plainly rather than a single recommendation with the alternatives hidden.

What we do not do

We do not run reverse auctions between suppliers we introduced you to.

We do not quote a price we have not confirmed with the supplier.

We do not present a single option and call it a search.

Where we look

Inside the EU single market — with the deepest supplier coverage in Slovakia, Czechia, Poland, Hungary and Austria.

Send the specification and quantity. If we can supply it, you will have a written quotation. If we cannot, we will say so.
