Support can be structured around the project scope, with the service model agreed upfront based on the level of sourcing and coordination required.
Equipment sourcing starts with a clear brief
For machinery and site equipment, we bring together the intended use, technical specifications, drawings and delivery requirements before coordinating supplier options.
Project scoping
Clarify the application, priorities and equipment requirements so suppliers can respond to a shared brief.
Specification review
Coordinate supplier information and equipment details against the agreed specifications.
A scope built around your project
We clarify the sourcing tasks, responsibilities, specifications and delivery priorities with you before work begins. Your point of contact in Australia stays connected with the team carrying out procurement in China.
