SOURCE SUPPLIERS
Visit fewer suppliers.
Visit the ones that fit.
Start with your requirements. We are building sourcing around a short list worth visiting, not a directory.
Requirements before introductions.
A supplier can look right on paper and still be wrong for the work.
Define what fits
Set the product, volume, delivery window and evidence you need.
Understand the shortlist
See why a supplier fits, what it claims and what is still unverified.
Make factory days count
Plan visits around the right factories. Record samples, gaps and next steps.
YOUR RECORD
What we record for every supplier
- What the supplier states about product, capacity and price.
- Which supporting evidence is available.
- What is still unverified.
- What you decided after the visit, and the next step.
A visit should answer a question.
Qualification cannot remove every risk. We make the gaps visible.
