1. Define an actionable enquiry
Identify product, grade, final use, acceptable origins and alternatives. State volume, frequency, packaging, destination and required date. Accurate enquiries help compare offers for the same requirement.
2. Review the proposed supply
Martigane supports supplier sourcing and proposal preparation. Assess supplier identity, technical sheet, stated capacity and documentary references for the transaction. A listed range does not reserve a lot.
3. Compare on a consistent basis
Align quality, net weight, packaging, origin, Incoterm and named place. Separate product price from freight, insurance, clearance and receiving costs according to agreed responsibilities. Check currency, offer validity and payment terms.
4. Validate before contracting
Confirm specifications, required documents, any samples or inspections and contractual terms. Availability, minimum quantities, lead times and payment arrangements are specific to each proposal.
5. Coordinate execution
Coordination may cover supplier communication, transport and document preparation within the agreed scope. Assign responsibilities and approval points before loading, then organise receipt and discrepancy handling.
Prepare your volume purchase
Product, grade, quantity and destination: provide the information needed for a tailored proposal.
