Sourcing and delivery

The expensive part of buying components is not the unit price. It is running around a dozen workshops, chasing a dozen lead times and matching a dozen colour chips. That is the work we do instead: one parts list in, one consolidated shipment out, one person to call.

Sourcing Process

Four stages, one contact

Source, follow up, inspect, consolidate. Every stage has fixed steps and a paper trail, so you can ask where a batch stands at any point.

01 / SOURCING

Sourced to your BOM

Your list is broken down to the smallest purchasing unit and matched to the right workshop in the cluster. For each item we compare at least three, and not on price alone - we check spare capacity, whether the tooling already exists, and whether they will take a small run.

02 / FOLLOW-UP

On the floor at the checkpoints

After the order we hold first article, colour chip, finishing batch and delivery risk. If a line schedule moves, you hear it that week, not on the ship date.

03 / INSPECTION

Three gates, nothing out of spec ships

Incoming, in-process, outgoing. Appearance, dimensions, power-on, plating thickness and load are sampled to the agreed standard. Anything outside it is stopped before it reaches you.

04 / CONSOLIDATION

Several workshops, one container

Goods from different workshops merged into a single container, with packing list, container plan, material certificates and compliance files matched to the destination. LCL consolidation works too.

Quality Control

Incoming, in-process, outgoing

Every gate leaves a record. When a batch goes wrong you can trace it to a specific lot and process step instead of reworking everything.

Compliance

Certificates travel with the goods

Electrical parts are judged by CE and RoHS in Europe, by SASO/SABER in Saudi Arabia, by SNI in Indonesia. We assemble the file pack per category so your customs broker and platform review do not stall.

It depends on the destination. The EU needs CE (LVD + EMC) and RoHS, with ERP efficiency and IP rating in some applications. Saudi Arabia requires SASO compliance through the SABER platform. Indonesia requires SNI for regulated lighting products. North America looks at UL/ETL construction. We list the file set per category and tell you in advance what is missing.
Interior decorative parts are usually 24–48h. Coastal, outdoor or high-humidity installations should specify 72–96h together with a plating thickness. Confirm the service environment before quoting, otherwise an interior-grade finish will rust early in a Gulf coastal project.
Yes. Routine items use our in-house records. Where the client or customs requires it, samples go to a third-party lab, with cost and lead time stated at quotation stage.

Delivery

Delivery rhythm

Fast sampling, stable volume runs, repeat orders that do not restart from zero — these three decide how much cash sits in your stock and how exposed you are to a stock-out.

Export loading

We work with your forwarder, or arrange trucking and customs documents ourselves. FCL, LCL and mixed loading supported, with container plan and packing list checked before dispatch.

Repeat orders

Approved models keep their process sheet and tooling, so replenishment matches the original. Clients with steady monthly volume can agree stocking and safety stock.

Documentation

Commercial invoice, packing list, container plan, material certificates and compliance files issued against the agreed terms, timed to your customs broker's schedule.

Come and see the samples and the workshops

The sample room is open any working day: colour chips, cross-sections, load test, power-on. We can also walk you through the partner workshops - real lines and live orders, not a showroom.
