About us

Product Sourcing Desk

Sourcing products and managing suppliers for Australian retail brands.

Covers product sourcing, supplier vetting and landed costs for Australian businesses that import, manufacture or private-label their own ranges.

What we cover

Product Sourcing Desk reports on product sourcing and supplier management. Coverage is organised into 6 sections: Supplier Shortlists, Due Diligence, Landed Cost, Samples & Specifications, Quality Inspection, Freight & Payments. It is written for buyers and product managers at Australian importers and retail brands.

How we work

Articles should be useful to someone who actually has to decide or implement the matter: concrete, verifiable and honest about what depends on the business, the region or the legal position. Where a topic is governed by law or tax rules, the article says so, rather than pretending to replace professional advice.

We correct errors visibly. If a correction changes the substance of an article, the article states what has changed.
