Identify

A clearly scoped stage in the sourcing decision process.

When this service helps

Use it when the buyer needs clearer visibility before the next decision.

You are entering a new product category or the Turkish supplier market for the first time.

Your current supplier base is too narrow and you need credible manufacturing alternatives.

Online searches return traders, intermediaries or poorly matched companies instead of relevant manufacturers.

You need a focused shortlist before investing time in RFQs, audits or deeper verification.

Scope & expectations

What this service does—and what it does not promise

Manufacturer identification is an initial screening step, not proof of capability or a guarantee of future performance. Where supplier risk is material, shortlisted manufacturers should be verified before commercial commitment.

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

The 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.
