What is a sourcing company?
+A sourcing company helps brand owners find suppliers for goods at reasonable market prices and specific quality standards — for example, finding a Chinese manufacturer that meets your expectations around price, quality, delivery and standards.
What does a sourcing agent do?
+A sourcing agent helps businesses identify potential suppliers, negotiate prices and terms, handle quality control, manage logistics, and ensure a smooth procurement process.
How can Sourci help my business?
+We mitigate supply chain risks, achieve cost savings, ensure quality control, and manage the complexities of international sourcing — so you can spend more time on sales and marketing to accelerate your growth.
Can you help with both sourcing and manufacturing?
+Yep! Sourci manages your entire supply chain end-to-end and acts as your supplier. We take care of everything from sourcing, product development, sampling and design to quality control, freight and logistics.
How do you ensure product quality and compliance?
+Our HQ is in Melbourne, with an office in China and teams on the ground in India, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia and more. That global presence lets us run factory inspections, product testing and compliance checks to ensure products meet your specs and regulations.
Sourcing agent vs. trading company — what's the difference?
+A sourcing agent finds suitable manufacturing partners for their clients. A trading company buys goods from manufacturers then resells them, usually adding their own margin on top of the unit cost — often making it more costly.
What's a minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
+An MOQ is the smallest quantity a factory will produce in one run. Higher quantities lower your unit cost but tie up more cash in stock. We help you strategise MOQs so your specifications meet your budget without compromising quality.
How long does it take to develop and manufacture a product?
+It varies by product complexity, tooling and sampling rounds. We map a clear timeline up front as part of our process and push behind the scenes to keep it moving.
Do you help with importing to Australia?
+Yes — we handle the entire importing process: freight, documentation, customs and delivery to your nominated location, plus support for your multi-channel distribution.
