Sourcing Services
Supplier Identification in China
Choosing the right supplier is the most important step in sourcing. LIMA GROUP identifies suppliers that match your requirement and gathers comparable quotations.
Who this service is for
Procurement teams and business owners who need a shortlist of suitable suppliers and clear quotations to compare.
How to compare product specifications and supplier quotes
Compare materials, dimensions, included accessories, packaging, payment terms, validity and what the price includes. A low price that excludes key items is not a like-for-like offer. We ask suppliers to quote against the same specification.
What you receive
A summary of supplier options for each product with their quotations and any questions or differences we found.
When to use supplier identification
Use it when you are entering a new product category, replacing a supplier, or need alternative sources.
