Integrated procurement

Integrated procurement

Our five categories, plus the other items your factory needs — sourced by us, quoted as one and shipped as one.

What integrated procurement covers

We run the whole purchasing list of a shed factory as one service. Items in our five core categories come from suppliers we already work with; items outside them are sourced through vetted suppliers across China, and can also be sourced in Vietnam.

Either way, they go into the same sourcing plan, quotation, inspection and container.

Our five core categories

Production machinery · Raw materials · Standard hardware kits · Optional add-on accessories · Production consumables and packaging

Sourced on request

Insulation · Anchors and fixings · Paint touch-up kits · Other items on your bill of materials
