International
sourcing strategy
We work with you to build a sourcing strategy tailored to your priorities: cost, quality, lead times, target regions, and collaboration models.
- Selection of countries/regions,
- Number and type of suppliers (OEMs, certified factories, etc.),
- Spot purchases vs. long-term partnerships,
- Risks to anticipate (geopolitical, logistical, etc.).
Supplier identification
and qualification
Thanks to our international network and expertise, we identify the suppliers best suited to your needs and qualify them based on both objective and subjective criteria.
- Trade shows and fairs,
- Local partners and agents,
- Scoring, matrices, and folders compiling supplier information,
- Supplier evaluation & classification (reputation, certifications, capabilities, financial health, responsiveness, and other checks).
Product, component and
raw material sourcing
We search for finished products, spare parts, or raw materials that meet your technical, functional, and aesthetic specifications.
- Supplier catalogs and direct sourcing via specialized platforms,
- Prototyping and sampling,
- Identification of more competitive or innovative alternatives,
- Continuous monitoring of market trends, innovations, and new materials.
Product development and
regulatory compliance
We manage the full product development process, from initial samples to validated pre-series, including packaging design and requested customizations.
- Management of initial samples, modifications, and final approval,
- Adaptation of products to local regulations (safety, packaging, labeling, translations),
- Packaging design or adjustments (graphics, dimensions, materials),
- Laboratory testing and regulatory compliance when required (e.g., toys, cosmetics).
Purchase negotiation
and secure contracting
We negotiate the best purchasing conditions on your behalf and formalize agreements with clear contractual documents, translated if necessary, to secure every transaction.
- Negotiation of prices, lead times, quantities, and payment terms,
- Definition of Incoterms (EXW, FOB, CIF, DDP…),
- Confidentiality (NDA signing),
- Drafting and translation of purchase orders, supplier contracts, NDAs, etc.
Our feasibility study
A first conversation, a strategic analysis, a clear guidance.
A single discussion is enough to understand your challenges and jointly assess the relevance of a tailored sourcing pre-study. This allows you, before any commitment, to get an initial insight tailored to your project’s needs within a 3-week timeframe.
Pré-étude sourcing :
Un échange, une analyse stratégique,
une orientation claire.
One conversation is enough to understand your challenges and assess together the relevance of a customized preliminary sourcing study.
This allows you to see, before making any commitment, whether our way of working suits you and whether you wish to continue with us.
