Global Sourcing Service in the Philippines
It has been said that profits are made at “the buy” and not “the sale.” This holds true for anyone who builds their own brand or buys products for their business operations—securing the lowest price when sourcing provides a greater potential for profit when sold. Global sourcing is a strategy used by large corporations, we are now making it available to MSMEs who are looking to gain a competitive advantage over their competition.
At Shoppable, we know how important it is to choose the right manufacturer. The manufacturer can make or break your business. The manufacturer must be experienced in your market, ethical, have the production capacity, can meet your price points, and value your business.
There are over 6 million manufacturers in China and finding the right one for your business is not easy. We also source from other countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Taiwan, Indonesia, and the USA. At Shoppable, we take this pain away from you and make global sourcing easy for companies in the Philippines. We take care of all the leg work from sourcing to delivery and ensure you find the right manufacturer for your products.

How much do you charge for your global sourcing services?
We believe in transparency and long term partnerships, which is why we have a simple pricing plan for our customers. We charge a small sourcing commission fee (% of order) + total order amount + freight. Unlike other companies who will charge you upfront fees to start working with them, we only require an agreement to be signed prior to us starting any sourcing work. Our standard fees are outlined in our company contract and can be discussed during our initial consultation.
For global sourcing to make sense, we require a minimum order of USD 2,000 to USD 5,000 which allows us to meet most factories minimum order quantities (MOQ). This will allow us to work with some of the best factories for your industry.
Why is it cheaper to work with Shoppable vs going direct to the factory?

This is not always the case, with Shoppable we can supply a lower price to our customers because we have an experienced team that negotiates with manufacturers, can purchase RMB, PHP, USD and other currencies, we also work with manufacturers who do not have export licenses or English speaking sales departments, often these are the best manufacturers to work with.

Sourcing done badly takes less than 60 seconds and can be online. Sourcing done well, takes time and involves various steps to find the right manufacturer.
