HOW IT WORKS
Every requirement moves through the same disciplined sequence — nothing skipped, nothing assumed. Five stages define the shape of the process; five different factors define how long it actually takes.
This page sets out both: what actually happens at each stage, and the specific variables that determine whether a requirement moves in days or in weeks — so the timeline you're given is a real one, not an optimistic placeholder.
THE PROCESS
Each stage below has explicit inputs and outputs — what we need from you to move forward, and what you actually receive once it's complete.
We translate what you need into a specific, sourceable product — part number or not. A photograph, a vehicle model, or a description of a failure is enough to start; the specification work happens on our side, not as a precondition for engaging with us.
Suppliers are evaluated for capability and product alignment, not just price — including whether quoted availability is real stock or an unconfirmed production slot, and whether the supplier's quality standard actually matches the specification.
Terms are negotiated in the context of documentation and logistics that can actually support them — a favourable price tied to a route or lead time that cannot be delivered is not, in practice, a favourable price.
Documents, route and transport are planned together as one system — not three separate handoffs assembled reactively once goods are already moving. Documentation is prepared ahead of departure, not discovered as missing at the border.
The requirement is complete when the part physically arrives and is confirmed against the original specification — not when a supplier is introduced, and not when goods clear customs.
Nothing above is skipped to save time on a single engagement — the stages exist because skipping one is exactly how a shipment ends up stuck at a border with a documentation gap nobody caught earlier.
WHAT SHAPES THE TIMELINE
This is why a realistic timeline is given once a requirement is understood, and not before — each of the following can independently add days or weeks to an otherwise straightforward request.
WORKING WITH US
Whatever you already have — a part number, a photo, a vehicle model, or just a description of the failure. We work back from there rather than asking you to produce a specification before we will engage.
MOQ varies by supplier and part rather than by category. We surface it during verification, so you see it before a commitment exists rather than after.
Each requirement moves through the five stages above, and you are told which stage it is in and what is outstanding — including when the honest answer is that a supplier has not come back to us yet.
It stays our problem. Pre-shipment inspection exists to catch it earlier, but where something does go wrong we handle the supplier claim and the replacement rather than handing you a contact and stepping back.
Yes. Where you already have a forwarder or a customs broker you trust, we plan the documentation and routing around them instead of insisting on our own chain.
Build your requirement and our team will take it from there.
