THE BUYER VIEW
Specify the finished product.
A distributor sourcing brief can cover target grade, product format, expected volume, market, documentation, packaging configuration and timing. Defining these requirements early helps keep supplier discussions focused on the actual commercial need.
COMMERCIAL CONTEXT
Build the brief around the market.
Destination-market requirements matter. Export documentation, labelling, composition and testing requirements can vary by market and product. Confirm the current rules for the intended destination before committing to a final specification.
SOURCING
Turn requirements into a commercial brief.
If you are building a new wholesale programme or replacing an existing source, use the Sourcing Engine to document the requirement and start the commercial conversation.
