How It Works
At Ruby Sourcing & Procurement, we follow a structured and transparent process to help businesses source products, manage suppliers, and control risk at every stage. Our approach is designed to simplify global sourcing while giving you clear visibility, predictable outcomes, and professional oversight from start to finish.
Below is an overview of how we work with you—from the first conversation to final delivery.
Our Process: Step by Step
Step 1: Initial Inquiry & Requirement Review
We start by understanding your needs. You share your product requirements, sourcing goals, timelines, and any specific challenges. Our team reviews the information and clarifies technical, commercial, and quality expectations.
Outcome: Clear understanding of your sourcing objectives and next steps.
Step 2: Product Sourcing & Supplier Selection
We identify suitable manufacturers or suppliers based on your requirements. Suppliers are screened for capability, reliability, pricing structure, and experience to ensure a strong fit.
Outcome: Shortlisted supplier options aligned with your needs.
Step 3: Quotation & Commercial Alignment
We collect and analyze quotations, clarify assumptions, and explain cost structures, MOQs, and lead times. This ensures pricing transparency before any commitment is made.
Outcome: Clear, realistic quotation with defined terms.
Step 4: Sampling & Production Preparation
Samples are coordinated and reviewed against agreed specifications. Once approved, production details are finalized, including timelines, quality standards, and documentation.
Outcome: Approved sample and production-ready plan.
Step 5: Procurement & Order Execution
We manage purchase orders, supplier communication, and production timelines. Active monitoring helps prevent delays and ensures suppliers follow agreed terms.
Outcome: Controlled procurement and on-track production.
Step 6: Quality Control & Inspection
Quality inspections are conducted at key stages to verify workmanship, consistency, and compliance before shipment. Issues are identified early and corrective actions are coordinated.
Outcome: Reduced defects and shipment risk.
Step 7: Shipping & Logistics Support
We coordinate shipping arrangements, documentation, and delivery planning to ensure smooth customs clearance and on-time arrival.
Outcome: Goods shipped efficiently and compliantly.
Step 8: Delivery & Ongoing Support
Once delivery is complete, we remain available for follow-up support, repeat orders, and supplier performance improvement.
Outcome: Long-term sourcing stability and partnership.
