  • Quotes compared with no market reference
  • Landed cost discovered after the goods arrive
  • Counterparty risk judged by a website
VS

Sourcing with the customs record

  • Suppliers shortlisted on shipments they actually made
  • Quotes benchmarked against declared unit values
  • Duty and freight modelled before the PO
  • Counterparty history checked across years

Questions

Can you tell me a supplier is safe?

No one can certify that. We can show you whether the supplier's declared shipping history is consistent with what it claims, which is the strongest external check available before payment.

Do you negotiate for me?

We prepare the brief and the benchmark. The negotiation is yours.
