Scope & expectations
What this service does—and what it does not promise
An introduction is not a guarantee or endorsement of future supplier performance. The buyer remains responsible for final supplier approval, contracting and purchase decisions, with Rumi Trade providing the agreed buyer-side sourcing support.
Common questions
Questions buyers often ask at this stage
What information should I include in my sourcing enquiry?
Include the product or component, estimated quantities, material or technical specifications, required standards, target timing and any known commercial constraints. Existing drawings, BOMs or RFQs are helpful when available.
Does Rumi Trade handle shipping and logistics?
The core service is supplier sourcing, verification and buyer-side coordination. Logistics requirements can be discussed as part of the engagement, but the exact responsibility should be agreed for each project rather than assumed.
Discuss the requirement first
Discuss Your RequirementsThe right service scope depends on what you are sourcing and what is already known about the supplier.
Share the product, quantities, timing, documentation needs and current supplier situation. Rumi Trade can then assess the most appropriate next step.
