BEFORE WE BEGIN
A few useful
answers.
Do we need a finished specification?
No. An early conversation can help turn your idea into a clear sourcing brief. Existing drawings, reference products, target pricing or prototypes are useful, but the first step can be defining what is missing.
Can you work with our existing supplier?
Yes. A project can focus on an existing supply relationship, commercial review, quality issue or alternative sourcing route. The scope depends on the information and access available.
Can you support smaller production volumes?
We can include your target volumes in the supplier search. Minimum quantities depend on the product, tooling, materials and factory, so suitable options and trade-offs are reviewed for each brief.
How are confidentiality and fees handled?
Confidentiality arrangements can be agreed before sharing sensitive technical material. Scope, fees, responsibilities and any supplier-related commercial arrangements should be confirmed in writing before an engagement begins.
Does sourcing support include certification?
Support can include coordinating documentation and specialist testing. Certification or conformity assessment is performed by the appropriate qualified organisations where required. Requirements and responsibility for market placement are agreed for the specific product.
