Sourcing
Sourcing, structured.
NORDSTONE's sourcing process brings discipline to international supplier identification, qualification and engagement.
The sourcing process
From requirement to shipment, step by step
Requirement assessment
We start by understanding the product specification, quantity, target price, timeline and commercial requirements.
Supplier research
We identify candidate suppliers across international markets that match the requirement profile.
Supplier qualification
We assess suppliers on commercial standing, production capability and reliability before any commitment.
Product and commercial comparison
We structure a comparable evaluation across products, terms and pricing.
Samples where applicable
We coordinate sample production and evaluation where the product allows it.
Negotiation
We negotiate commercial terms on behalf of the customer to reach a structured agreement.
Inspection
We coordinate quality inspection before goods are released for shipment.
Shipping coordination
We coordinate freight and logistics providers to move goods to destination.
