Sourcing Consulting Services That Deliver Results
Supplier Discovery & Vetting
We connect you with reliable suppliers tailored to your specifications, volume needs, and compliance requirements. Our process includes certification checks, factory audits, and sample reviews, ensuring every shortlisted manufacturer is capable, credible, and ready to meet your quality and sustainability standards.
Strategic RFQ Management
We create RFQ templates, manage quote requests, and score supplier responses across pricing, lead time, and terms. You get clear, side-by-side comparisons, streamlining your decision-making without unnecessary back-and-forth or risk.
Cost Analysis & Optimization
Our team dissects your total product and shipping costs including materials, packaging, freight, duties and benchmarks them across suppliers and regions. This data helps you uncover hidden fees, eliminate inefficiencies, and negotiate smarter deals.
Negotiation Support
We help define clear terms for payment, quality standards, and responsibilities. With our support, you avoid vague agreements and lock in long-term supplier relationships built on mutual understanding and risk reduction.

How We Help
Torg’s sourcing support consultants work side-by-side with your procurement, ops, and category teams to streamline every part of your supplier engagement.
Supplier Research & Qualification
We source suppliers matched to your product specs, volume needs, certifications, and location preferences. Each one is vetted using structured checklists, product testing, capacity reviews, and database insights, so you only engage with pre-qualified, production-ready partners who fit your operational goals.
RFQ & Tender Management
We build RFQs with clear spec sheets, pricing formats, delivery windows, and evaluation criteria. Our dashboards let you instantly compare bids across cost, lead time, and flexibility, reducing quote cycles from weeks to days while improving accuracy and supplier response quality.
Negotiation & Compliance
We support your team with negotiation playbooks and industry benchmarks for pricing, MOQs, and SLAs. We also help embed clauses for warranty coverage, product recalls, on-time delivery, and regulatory compliance, so you reduce commercial risk while securing better terms.
Sourcing Risk Mitigation
We map your supply exposure and suggest backup suppliers, diversified geographies, and second-tier partners. This ensures continuity when disruptions hit, whether it's freight delays, factory closures, or regional instability, so you’re not dependent on one risky link in the chain.
Sourcing Support Process
Discovery & Needs Assessment
We begin by aligning with your team to clarify goals, technical product specs, sourcing challenges, and market targets. This includes identifying compliance requirements, regulatory standards, MOQ thresholds, and your desired supplier footprint. We also assess launch timelines, margin expectations, and any operational blockers.
Supplier Research & Shortlisting
Using the Torg platform and proprietary supplier intelligence, we conduct targeted searches across regions and categories. Suppliers are filtered based on capacity, certifications, infrastructure, past performance, and communication responsiveness. Every profile is verified, ranked, and justified before presenting you a curated shortlist.
RFQ Rollout & Quote Analysis
We coordinate structured RFQs with standardized templates that reflect your technical and commercial requirements. Quotes are collected, normalized, and displayed through comparison dashboards that track price breakdowns, lead times, product variations, and delivery terms, making decision-making faster and more data-driven.
Negotiation & Contract Support
We support negotiations on key levers such as cost structures, payment terms, exclusivity, liability clauses, IP protections, and penalty conditions. Our consultants aim to reduce contractual ambiguity while helping you build mutually beneficial, enforceable agreements with scalable pricing models.
Onboarding & Ramp-Up
Once terms are finalized, we manage the transition into production. This includes documentation handover, labeling and packaging guidelines, quality control processes, logistics planning, and setting up production milestones, ensuring suppliers are aligned and capable before the first PO is placed.
Performance Monitoring & Optimization
We install performance KPIs that track quality issues, fill rates, order accuracy, and communication speed. Regular review cycles, scorecards, and escalation workflows keep suppliers accountable, while our team identifies opportunities for cost savings, faster delivery, and more reliable long-term collaboration.
