ABOUT US
ITACO as an export marketing company plays a vital role in helping buyers find suppliers in Middle East. Here's how we facilitate this process:
1. Market Research: We conduct extensive market research to identify potential suppliers in Middle Eastern countries and gather information on suppliers' capabilities, product offerings, quality standards, certifications, and pricing.
2. Supplier Database: ITACO maintain comprehensive databases of suppliers from various industries and regions. Having local offices in some of these countries enables us to get first-hand information about the local manufacturers/suppliers as well. These databases are often categorised and searchable, making it easier for us to find suitable suppliers based on the buyers’ requirements.
3. Sourcing Assistance: We provide personalised sourcing assistance to buyers. We analyse the buyers' needs and connect them with appropriate suppliers from our network. This involves matching the buyers' product specifications, budget, volume requirements, and any other specific criteria to the capabilities and offerings of the suppliers.
4. Supplier Evaluation: We assess and evaluate potential suppliers on behalf of the buyers. We may conduct due diligence to verify the suppliers' credibility, financial stability, production capacity, quality control processes, and compliance with relevant regulations.
5. Supplier Matching: Based on the buyer's requirements and the evaluation process, ITACO shortlist and present a curated list of potential suppliers to the buyers. We provide detailed profiles, product samples, catalogues, and other relevant information to facilitate the decision-making process.
6. Trade Show Participation: We often participate in international trade shows and exhibitions. ITACO represents a group of suppliers and showcase their products and services to potential buyers. This allows buyers to meet multiple suppliers in one location, saving time and resources.
7. Negotiation Support: We assist buyers in negotiations with suppliers. They help facilitate communication, address language and cultural barriers, and provide guidance on pricing, terms, and conditions.
8. Logistics and Documentation: ITACO may offer support with logistics, shipping, and documentation requirements. We help coordinate the transportation of goods from the foreign supplier to the buyer's location, handle customs procedures, and ensure compliance with export regulations.
9. Post-Sale Support: ITACO may provide post-sale support to ensure customer satisfaction. They may act as intermediaries in case of disputes, assist with after-sales service, and help build long-term relationships between buyers and suppliers.
By leveraging our knowledge, networks, and expertise, we simplify the process of finding reliable suppliers in Middle Eastern countries for buyers. We offer valuable support at each stage of the sourcing and procurement process, making it more efficient and reducing the risks associated with international trade.
