Categories
What we source.
Six categories. Each one is quoted to a specification you give us — grade, dimension, pack size, standard — because that is what makes two suppliers' offers comparable.
Food & agricultural products
Staples, pulses, grains, spices and packaged food, sourced to a written specification and a stated grade.
Edible & consumer oils
Cooking and consumer oils in retail and bulk formats, quoted by grade, pack size and origin.
Consumer goods
Household, personal care and general merchandise for wholesale and distribution programmes.
Steel & building materials
Structural and finishing materials quoted to dimension, grade and standard rather than to a catalogue line.
Garments & apparel
Woven and knitted apparel to a buyer-supplied tech pack, with fabric, trim and finish confirmed before costing.
Gold & precious metals
A planned division. We are building supplier relationships in this category and are not quoting on it yet — tell us your requirement and we will say plainly where it stands.
Not on the list?
Ask anyway. The categories above are where our supplier relationships are deepest, not the limit of what we will look at. If we cannot source something we say so plainly rather than taking the enquiry and going quiet — and if we know somebody who can, we will tell you that too.
What a good specification contains
- The product, named precisely
Variety, grade, origin if it matters to you, and the standard it has to meet. "Rice" is an enquiry; "long-grain parboiled rice, 5% broken" is a specification.
- Quantity with its unit
Metric tonnes, cartons, pieces, litres. A number with no unit is the single most common reason offers come back incomparable.
- Packing and presentation
Pack size, inner and outer, labelling and language requirements, pallet configuration if you are receiving into a warehouse.
- Where and when
The destination city and country, and the date it has to be there. If the date is not settled, say so — that is useful information, not a gap.
