Our Sourcing Services & Capabilities
Product sourcing can be a time-consuming and demanding process, depending on the products and suppliers you’re searching for. With the help of Connected Sourcing, you can confidently pass the reins to us to help you find the most ideal supplier for your business whilst you focus on other urgent tasks at work.
Survey Manufacturers
01
From our extensive network of suppliers and relationships with various industries, Connected Sourcing will assess potential manufacturers to provide you with a comprehensive list of quality suppliers that fit your budget and needs. We’ll determine whether potential suppliers are up for the job based on their product range, compliance with standards and laws, manufacturing capabilities, and delivery timescales. This will help us narrow down the list and focus on contacting those who have a good chance of providing your company with what you need.
Negotiate Terms and Prices
02
Once the list of potential suppliers has been narrowed down, our experienced sourcing agents will help you negotiate better terms and conditions. With their expertise, it will be easier to compare and choose suppliers based on their pricing, payment terms, trade terms, and other important criteria.
Procurement
03
We usually offer two options when selecting and purchasing the products you need. The first is to have your team come to China while we provide them with assistance on a sourcing trip, so they can inspect suppliers and products themselves. Our team will then manage the procurement and logistics of the items you prefer. The second option is to provide us with a surveyor’s bill of quantities, which will allow us to source the appropriate products for you on your behalf. If you decide to go with this option, there is no need for you to come to China as our local team will manage the whole process.
Organise Global Logistics
04
Ordering from one country to another can be daunting considering the paperwork you’ll have to handle just to get it delivered. With Connected Sourcing, we’ll work with all your logistics needs, ensuring that your products will get delivered on time and safely from the factory floor to your preferred destination.

Manage Suppliers on Your Behalf
Having no local team on the field can be a major challenge due to language barriers and time differences. To help overcome these issues, we provide local sourcing agents who can liaise with factories to help you get through the product design and production assurance process smoothly. They will ensure deadlines are met and quality standards are achieved.
Additionally, you can monitor production workflows, track delivery times, and ensure that your orders are held to the highest standards. With someone knowledgeable in the local language, you can confidently express your ideas and requirements to suppliers, avoiding the risk of receiving defective or subpar products.
Provide Quality Control and Product Inspections
Connected Sourcing provides two distinct options for ensuring product quality: either we arrange a third-party organization to inspect your products or our experienced team of professionals will personally visit your supplier to conduct quality checks. Our goal is to help you make informed purchasing decisions by providing a comprehensive system of quality control and product inspections.
By doing so, we can guarantee that your orders meet the highest standards of quality, accuracy, safety, and value. With our expertise in quality control and product inspections, you can trust that you will receive the best value for your money and avoid any defects or irregularities in your orders.
Handle All Necessary Documents
Handling sourcing documents can be a tedious process, but our team at Connected Sourcing is here to make it easier. With our experience in sourcing products, we understand the importance of accurate and timely paperwork so your orders will progress quickly and without any delays due to incomplete documents.
Our team is experienced in dealing with all types of documentation to ensure all paperwork is completed and filed in an orderly manner. This allows you to track your orders and shipments accurately, while quickly recognizing and fixing any discrepancies.
Process Payments to Suppliers
On top of helping you find reliable suppliers and negotiate contracts with them, we also take care of the payment process for you. Our local banking solutions ensure that all transactions are secure and compliant with applicable regulations, so you can rest assured that your payments are in good hands.
Moreover, you can track your payment status with real-time updates, and use our comprehensive reporting and analytics as payments are delivered to suppliers quickly and securely.
Who Needs Product Sourcing?
Product sourcing is becoming an increasingly popular choice for businesses of all sizes around the world. Not only does it provide an affordable and dependable way to source the products needed to reach business objectives, but it also boosts efficiency and reduces costs.
With access to a wide range of materials, manufacturers in China can provide top-quality products at a lower cost than many other countries, and deliver them quickly and reliably.
Getting Started With Connected Sourcing
Connected Sourcing is here to help you fulfill all your sourcing needs from product design to delivery. But before we can start sourcing for products and suppliers, we would need details from you first to help us come up with an accurate quote for our service.
Common details we typically need include:
- Product specifics which include dimensions, colours, and branding requirements. It’ll be useful if you can provide a sample picture at this stage.
- Item quantity
- Requested delivery timelines
