How it works

A Clear Process from Request to Delivery

Every project starts with your requirements and an agreed scope. You always know what is included, what you receive at each step and what happens next.

The process

Six steps, one accountable partner

Requests, quotations, orders and documents are recorded in your buyer workspace with their status.

Scope decides the steps
Not every step applies to every project. A Supplier Discovery project may end at the comparison report; a managed order continues through production, inspection and shipment.
  1. 01

    Share your requirements

    Tell us about your product, specifications, target quantity, budget, preferred sourcing market and delivery destination.

  2. 02

    Scope & feasibility review

    We review your requirements, clarify missing information, and confirm the proposed scope, fees and expected timeline before work begins.

  3. 03

    Supplier research & RFQs

    We identify potential suppliers and request quotations where feasible, based on the agreed requirements.

  4. 04

    Compare & evaluate

    We organize available offers by price, MOQ, lead time, payment terms, specifications and other relevant factors.

  5. 05

    Negotiate & coordinate samples

    Where included in the agreed scope, we support commercial discussions, sample requests and supplier communication.

  6. 06

    Manage the order

    We coordinate agreed production updates, quality checks, documentation and shipping arrangements with the relevant parties.

Commercial models

Clear about who sells what

Every engagement states its commercial model, so contracts, invoices and responsibilities are never ambiguous.

Sourcing service

The manufacturer remains the seller. Sourcing Pi supports you for a disclosed service fee — never a hidden margin on the goods.

Managed resale / export

Where agreed, Sourcing Pi buys from the manufacturer and sells to you as seller and exporter of record, with its own quotation, contract and invoice.

Explicit terms

Incoterm®, named place, payment milestones and quality requirements are stated in each quotation and carried into the order.

Your buyer workspace

Follow requests, quotations, orders, documents and shipment milestones in one place, with confirmed events separated from estimates.
