Suppliers are essential to almost every business. Without raw materials to make what you sell or manufacturers to provide what you resell, you will have a tough time growing. There are also many supplies and services your business consumes as part of general overhead, from paper clips to Internet access.
A sourcing agent assists companies with the process of locating sources for products and service at low prices, so they can save money on production. Sourcing agents may represent a single company or run a business that serves a number of companies.
Sourcing agents can provide a one-stop service for your international trade buying needs. A company can use a sourcing agent to get the best prices. Sourcing agents have connections with companies and know where to find various supplies. They can negotiate with a prospective supplier and may be able to work out discounts and other deals the company does not have time to negotiate on its own. The aim is to make your buying easier, faster, cheaper, and safer. This can save the company money and may create a longstanding and valuable contract for the supplier, so both sides have an incentive to work with a sourcing agent.
When sourcing is done right, your customers receive the best – and that’s the core of what constitutes a successful business.
