Cost-Effective Market Entry
We identify global sourcing opportunities where you can lower landed cost or improve quality by shifting production or procurement to higher-performing regions.
End-to-End Qualification
We screen suppliers for certifications (e.g. IFS, BRC, Organic), capacity, and export readiness, ensuring only reliable partners are brought into your shortlist.

Sourcing Readiness Assessment

Country & Supplier Shortlisting
We analyze supply regions based on labor costs, certifications, MOQs, logistics lanes, and trade agreements. Our team filters through Torg’s supplier network and external databases to identify the best-fit partners based on your compliance standards, production needs, and expected lead time performance.
RFQ & Bid Management
We run multilingual RFQ cycles with international suppliers, preparing bid formats, aligning specs, collecting commercial and technical offers, and handling clarifications. Our team ensures data consistency, apples-to-apples pricing comparisons, and timely submissions, keeping your sourcing team focused on decisions, not vendor coordination.
