Sourcing decisions involve more than unit price. Good sourcing means asking the right questions before making the purchasing decision, and sometimes that starts by questioning the original requirement itself: quantity, specification, price, quality, delivery.
YACOBSONS can challenge the requirement when necessary. We support the sourcing process. The customer remains in control of the purchasing decision.
What good sourcing weighs
Depending on the requirement, our support can range from supplier identification alone through to ongoing procurement partnership.
SOURCE
Identify potential suppliers and evaluate them against your product and commercial requirements: supplier research, initial screening, product matching, quotation requests and comparison.
SOURCE & MANAGE
Continue beyond supplier identification with practical support across communication, negotiation, samples, quality and delivery coordination.
PROCUREMENT PARTNER
Continuing sourcing and procurement support for businesses with recurring requirements: repeated sourcing, purchase coordination and supplier follow-up.
The appropriate sourcing market depends on the product, specification, quantity, quality expectations, commercial requirements and delivery destination.
