We manage the entire sourcing process effectively, reliably and transparently.

What we do

Service

Supplier and product search

Nikolai Sourcing operates an extensive network of suppliers, and finding new ones is one of our key tasks. Discovering and delivering new product ideas is also part of our customer service.

Service

Supplier guidance

We handle supplier communication and factory audits on behalf of the customer. We represent our customer in all sourcing matters. We also help prepare delivery contracts and oversee their execution in practice.

Service

Schedule monitoring

Part of our daily work is the active monitoring of delivery times to ensure that every shipment is sent on schedule. The results of the monitoring are reported regularly to the customer.

Service

Quality assurance

Quality assurance is a cornerstone of our business. It is vital that our customer receives exactly what they have ordered. We inspect every shipment before delivery and carry out inspections during production, as necessary.

Service

New products and innovations

Experienced and skilled sourcing personnel are invaluable when it comes to capitalising on every opportunity. Overcoming future challenges requires a proactive and innovative sourcing partner.

Service

Travel arrangements

We take care of our customer’s travel arrangements in Asia from factory visits to the booking of flights, hotels and local transportation. We help arrange discussions, meetings and negotiations with suppliers, as well as exhibitions and other practical matters.
