Sourcing overseas

Finding reliable suppliers abroad

If you are considering sourcing products from abroad, we can strategically connect you with manufacturers or service providers that meet your needs.

?Preparation and market research

First, we define the detailed specifications, quality standards, and purchasing capacity for the products or services you wish to procure. We clarify criteria such as the target price range, minimum order quantity, delivery times, and other commercial terms, and prepare a brief introduction for your company.

We conduct research to identify countries and markets with stronger and more reliable suppliers. By evaluating market size, competition, local production capacities, and the risks associated with the relevant market, we recommend target countries for your sourcing needs.

?Supplier research

Our local consultant identifies potential suppliers through their network or by utilizing the internet, trade fairs, industry associations, chambers of commerce, trade portals, and local business networks. We verify whether the suppliers meet your product specifications, expectations, quality standards, and price range. We then prepare a detailed report on the identified suppliers, including their profiles, product range, prices, minimum order quantities, delivery times, legal trade requirements, shipping options, contracts, and other certification processes. We review this report together and decide which potential suppliers to contact.

?Initial contact and assessing interest

We initiate contact with potential suppliers in the local language and using local business approaches. We introduce your company and purchasing capacity, and gauge their motivation to export to your country and work with your company. We gather information about their products and services, assess their production capacities, quality control processes, references, delivery times, pricing, and certification processes. If necessary, we obtain price quotes and samples for trial orders. Upon request, we can visit the suppliers' production facilities and report back to you.

?Supplier evaluation

Additionally, using our understanding of local language and culture, we can negotiate with alternative suppliers on your behalf. Once a suitable supplier is identified, we provide you with the company profile, their responses, and our recommendations. If needed, we assist in drafting a contract that clearly outlines the rights and responsibilities of both parties, including?all commercial terms, quality standards, delivery times, and other necessary conditions.

?For us, a suitable supplier is one that has the ability and intent to reliably and consistently supply the products you need. Our goal is to initiate the purchasing process and support you until your products are successfully delivered to your warehouse.

?Ongoing Supplier Support

After initiating the purchasing process with your supplier, we can continue to work as an extension of your team to monitor their performance and make improvements when necessary. We can act as the local point of contact for your supplier, maintain regular communication, represent you, monitor processes for optimization, and assist in problem-solving. If you wish to visit your suppliers, we can arrange appointments and accompany you during these visits. We can also assist in negotiations, local inspections, and resolving issues related to shipping and customs procedures.
