Who the Buying Office is for

If at least two of these apply to you, it's worth a conversation.

↻
You order regularly

Several orders a year with one or more suppliers. Reorders, range extensions, seasonal peaks.

⚓
You import yourself

You have your EORI number, forwarder and customs clearance under control, or want to keep it that way because the margin should stay with you.

⏱
You lack time, not know-how

Suppliers message at night, samples get stuck, proformas need checking. Our team takes over this work, and it's all they do.

You need a single product delivered ready to go? Then Sourcing is the better fit.

What we take care of for you

Four areas, every month. You get a weekly update and a dedicated contact in Munich.

≡
01

Supplier management

Managing existing suppliers, renegotiating prices, qualifying new factories, improving terms and payment conditions. Communication in Chinese with the factory, in your language with you.

✎
02

Order handling

Placing orders, checking proformas and order confirmations, getting and approving samples, monitoring production start and deadlines.

✓
03

Quality control

AQL inspection at the factory during and after production, photo documentation, resolving deviations before loading.

→
04

Logistics coordination

Coordinating loading and booking with your forwarder or ours, providing documents for customs and import, tracking arrival and any deviations.

What it costs

A monthly flat fee instead of a markup per unit. The more you order, the more it pays off.

Monthly flat fee
depending on order volume and number of suppliers
You keep paying the supplier and freight directly, we earn nothing on the price of the goods. Cancel monthly. We'll give you a concrete figure in the first call.

Buying Office FAQ

Wem gehören die Lieferanten?
You do. All contacts, prices and documents live in your system. If you cancel, you take everything with you. We have no interest in making you dependent on us.
Warum eine Pauschale und kein Prozentsatz auf den Einkauf?
Because a percentage would reward us for you paying more. With a flat fee, we sit on your side of the table and negotiate down every euro.
Wie schnell können wir starten?
After the first call, we take over within two weeks: supplier handover, reviewing open orders, setting up reporting. Ongoing orders continue as usual.
Was ist, wenn ich zusätzlich ein neues Produkt brauche?
Then we turn it into a sourcing project or find the supplier for you as part of the Buying Office. Both are possible, and we'll agree on the approach beforehand.
