Stage 1 · The product
What it is, who buys it, and against what.
What we do, in detail
Four services for manufacturers selling into North America, each agreed in writing.
Program 01 · Someone here
Market representation
A buyer in this market expects a local number, a local time zone and someone who can answer a technical question the same day. We provide that presence, handle enquiries and build the trade relationships that a distant head office cannot.
Stage 2 · Positioning
Realistic assessment of the market here.
Stage 3 · Terms
Territory, exclusivity and duration in writing.
Stage 4 · Launch
Enquiries handled locally from day one.
Stage 1 · Forecast
Volumes and stock levels agreed.
Stage 2 · Accounts
Trade customers opened and credit terms set.
Stage 3 · Fulfilment
Orders shipped from local stock.
Stage 4 · Reporting
Sales and stock reported to the principal.
Program 02 · Stock and customers
Distribution & accounts
Stock held locally turns a three-week lead time into next-day delivery, which is usually the difference between winning and losing an account. We open and manage trade customers, hold inventory agreed with the principal, and fulfil orders on agreed terms.
Program 03 · From factory to customer
Logistics coordination
We coordinate shipments from the factory, arrange warehousing, and manage onward delivery to customers. Freight is carried by licensed carriers and customs entries are filed by licensed brokers — we coordinate, and we don't pretend to do the licensed parts ourselves.
Stage 1 · Inbound
Shipments scheduled and tracked.
Stage 2 · Customs
Documentation to your licensed broker, complete.
Stage 3 · Warehouse
Received, checked and recorded.
Stage 4 · Delivery
Onward to customers on agreed terms.
Stage 1 · Requirements
What this shipment and this customer need.
Stage 2 · Preparation
Documents drafted and cross-checked.
Stage 3 · Handover
A complete file to the licensed broker.
Stage 4 · Records
Archived and retrievable.
Program 04 · Complete and consistent
Commercial documentation
Shipments are held up by paperwork far more often than by goods. We prepare and cross-check commercial invoices, packing lists and supporting documents so the file reaching your broker is complete and internally consistent, and we keep the records afterwards.
