Sourcing & purchasing

Four ways we take purchasing off your desk.

From designing the purchasing strategy through to inspecting, packing and moving the goods — you deal with one partner, not five.

Objective

We help you design a purchasing strategy that meets your business needs through effective procurement — establishing measurable objectives, then building the route that delivers them.

Outsourcing

Use our knowledge and expertise, and gain access to our extensive networks. We buy on your behalf across markets you may not have reach into.

Inspection & Packing

Our highly experienced warehouse operators check goods and ensure all documentation is accurate, for a stress-free shipping process.

Freight & Courier Services

We work with the biggest providers to maintain the keenest rates on air freight, so your goods move on the fastest, most competitive terms available.

How we specify

Tell us the requirement, not the part number.

Many clients approach us with a clear operational requirement but no fixed view of the product that will meet it. That is precisely the point at which to involve us — defining the specification is part of the service, and we work through it with you.

Provide the application, the standard that matters, the volumes and the required lead time. We respond with options and, where it is material to the decision, the reasoning behind our recommendation.

Discuss your requirement with the procurement team.

From a single specialist part to a full project package — send us the requirement and we will respond with a sourcing route, a price and a lead time.
