THE SOURCING
MINIMALIST
​
About Us
Our team are dedicated to helping you simplify your process, and to build a strategic and efficient procurement practice.
A simple buying process can become overly-complicated, time consuming and costly. This is often due to the lack of knowledge and experience on the ground, and communication breakdown, especially when buying from the Far East.
​
In the last 20 years, we have researched the Far East market, sourced products and services, and managed the global supply chain for more than 1,000 local and international clients. We strive to keep things simple to meet our clients' specific needs through:
​
-
A combined research and sourcing experience of over 30 years
-
An extensive supply chain network consisting over 300 suppliers and partners
-
Effective communication by speaking the local languages and understanding the local cultures
