Product sourcing for wholesalers, retailers, distribution networks and importers.
Martigane supports purchasing groups, wholesalers, retailers, importers and companies looking for products, manufacturers and suppliers internationally. We turn a purchasing need into a structured process: source identification, comparison, qualification, negotiation, document validation and flow coordination.
International sourcing is more than finding a supplier name online. A workable purchasing operation requires alignment between product specifications, volumes, target pricing, packaging, certifications, destination, timing, payment terms, Incoterms and transport.
Martigane centralises this process to help buyers compare coherent solutions. Depending on the assignment, we can work on a one-off search, a new product range, supplier benchmarking, a backup source or a recurring supply programme.
Our sourcing activity is not limited to one product family. Each project is assessed according to feasibility, target market and buyer requirements.
Product sourcing for wholesalers, retailers, distribution networks and importers.
Beverages, grocery, oils, dry goods, confectionery and other international products according to specification.
Retail, professional and market-specific packaging solutions depending on the requirement.
Identification of manufacturers able to review private-label, packing or product-range adaptations.
Structured searches based on technical, commercial, regulatory or logistics requirements.
One-off opportunities, recurring supply or development of an alternative supplier source.
The depth of our involvement is adapted to the assignment: supplier search only, advanced qualification or end-to-end supply coordination.
Product, specifications, quantities, destination, frequency, standards and constraints.
Identify relevant production regions and potential sourcing routes.
Select manufacturers, producers, distributors or partners able to respond.
Review company information, product range, capabilities, documents and certifications.
Request pricing, MOQ, packaging, lead time, Incoterms and commercial terms.
Compare offers and balance pricing, quality, risk and logistics feasibility.
Samples, technical documentation, product data and packaging information as required.
Coordinate order, documentation, freight and follow-up within the agreed scope.
An attractive offer only matters if it can be executed efficiently. Martigane can incorporate the variables that determine the actual cost and feasibility of a purchase: packaging, MOQ, pallets, truck or container quantities, Incoterm, documentation, freight and destination.
Martigane steps in when research time, access to new sources or international coordination becomes a commercial issue.
Multi-reference sourcing, new suppliers, tender support and volume-oriented solutions.
Fast-moving products, direct import, international brands and market opportunities.
Manufacturer identification, format comparison and supply solutions suited to the retail network.
New sources, backup suppliers and alternative purchasing routes.
An external team for a specific requirement without permanently increasing internal resources.
Search for production, packaging and adaptation capabilities based on volumes and target market.
International sourcing can help companies reduce dependency on a single source, access products not available locally, improve purchasing economics, increase available capacity, find different packaging or launch a new range. But more contacts do not automatically mean better sourcing. The value lies in comparing offers that genuinely answer the same requirement.
Unit pricing must be assessed together with minimum order quantities, packaging, point of origin, payment terms, available documentation and freight costs. A lower unit price may become less competitive once logistics or compliance requirements are included. Our approach therefore focuses on commercially comparable options rather than a simple contact list.
Sourcing can be used for a single opportunity, but it can also support a broader supplier strategy. This may include alternative origins, second sourcing, backup capacity and commercial conditions that can evolve with volume. Martigane can support this progression depending on results and buyer objectives.
The most useful information is the product description, required specifications, packaging, estimated quantities, purchase frequency, delivery country, certifications or standards and, when available, target price and expected lead time. The clearer the brief, the more efficiently the search can focus on realistic suppliers.
International sourcing is the structured process of identifying, comparing and qualifying suppliers or manufacturers in different markets for a defined purchasing requirement. It may include commercial negotiation, document review, samples, logistics and supply follow-up.
Yes. Sourcing can cover food and beverages, FMCG, packaging, finished goods and other trading projects compatible with the specification. Each request is reviewed for feasibility before the search begins.
Supplier searches can be conducted in France, Europe and internationally depending on the product, volumes, required standards and final destination. Target sourcing regions are selected according to the project.
Martigane can perform a pre-qualification based on available company information, commercial documentation, certifications, technical data, stated capacity and sales conditions. Additional inspections or audits may be organised when appropriate.
There is no single minimum. MOQ depends on the product, manufacturer, packaging, transport mode and destination. Estimated volumes make it possible to focus the search on realistic suppliers.
Depending on the project, Martigane can coordinate commercial and logistics elements, freight, consolidation, shipping documents and delivery. Regulatory and customs requirements are reviewed according to product and destination.
A useful brief includes the product, specifications, format or packaging, volumes, purchase frequency, destination, required certifications and, when known, target price and expected lead time.
