Service 05 of 05

Sourcing.

Procurement to your specification at or under your target: cartons by the pallet, packaging, components, inventory, or a single high-value piece. Every quotation disclosed, nothing bought without your approval.

In practice
How it works

How sourcing works.

  1. 01You provide the specification: the item, the quantity, the target price, and the deadline.
  2. 02We price it across every channel available to us, with the quotation or listing behind every figure.
  3. 03You approve line by line. Nothing is purchased without written approval.
  4. 04We purchase, receive, verify against the specification, and file the provenance and condition on receipt before the goods reach your books or your floor.
What you receive
What you walk away with
Buy sheet

Every line: the specification, the target, the price paid, the supplier, and the condition on receipt. Signed and dated. The same document for a pallet of cartons and for a single piece.

A percentage of what we buy, stated up front. Your target price is the ceiling, every quote is shown, and pass-through costs are billed at cost.

The detail
The controls within this serviceOpen
  • Every quote and listing behind a price is kept on file and shown to you before you approve.
  • Goods are received against the specification you approved: quantity, grade or variant, dimensions, and condition, with photographs.
  • Anything that misses the spec is held and reported, never quietly accepted.
  • Provenance filed with the item: supplier, invoice, certificate or lot, and condition on receipt.
Questions we are askedOpen
Do you take a margin on what you buy?
No. Goods are billed at cost with a stated fee, and every quotation is shown to you before you approve.
What if you cannot hit my target price?
The line comes back to you flagged, with the best quotation found. Nothing is substituted to close a list.
Can you buy a single item?
Yes. The same process and the same buy sheet apply to a pallet of cartons and to one high-value piece.
The boundaries of this serviceOpen

We never purchase for our own account, and the fee never influences the price. A line that cannot be filled at your target and quality is returned to you flagged, never substituted.
