An agent-managed sourcing process

We manage supplier work from enquiry to order.

You approve each business decision. We contact suppliers, compare information, negotiate the agreed points and track the order.

Service steps

Seven steps with one Japan-based contact.

The exact process varies by application, quantity, packaging, supplier stage and destination.

  1. 01

    Agree the work

    Confirm the market, intended use, quality, volume, timing and supplier work you want us to handle.

  2. 02

    Prepare the requirements

    We identify missing information and translate the requirement into clear requirements that suppliers can answer.

  3. 03

    Contact and follow up

    We approach current and relevant alternative suppliers, then track replies and open questions.

  4. 04

    Coordinate samples

    Organize available samples and a consistent application-led comparison for your approval.

  5. 05

    Negotiate current terms

    Request pricing, MOQ, volume tiers, packaging, lead time, documents and availability in writing.

  6. 06

    Coordinate the approved order

    Follow the selected supplier through quantity, payment, production, documents and delivery readiness.

  7. 07

    Manage repeat orders

    Maintain forecast, quote, document and relationship follow-up when ongoing support is agreed.

What to expect

A managed service, not instant checkout.

01

Agreed scope

We define what your agent may request, communicate, negotiate and coordinate before outreach.

02

Supplier updates

Current replies, quote dates, missing information and pending actions remain visible to your team.

03

Your approvals

You approve the product, supplier and binding order before it proceeds.

04

Clear import boundary

Destination import and customs responsibility remains with the buyer or appointed provider unless separately agreed.
