Sourcing
Sourcing at Burç Consulting covers the full path from a product idea to a delivered order: supplier identification, sampling, quotation, negotiation, production oversight, quality checks and logistics. The categories we work across are not fixed — sourcing is assessed on feasibility and commercial viability, not a limited list.
What it involves
- Supplier and manufacturer research across Türkiye and Asia
- Sample and quotation coordination
- Price and terms negotiation
- Private-label, OEM and ODM product development
- Production and quality coordination
- Logistics and delivery coordination
Who it is for
- Retailers and brands sourcing new product categories
- Companies looking to diversify supply away from a single country or supplier
- Entrepreneurs developing a product from concept to first production run
Typical situations
- A retailer needs a second sourcing country to reduce dependence on one region
- An entrepreneur has a product concept and needs it turned into a costed, produceable sample
- A buyer has a supplier list but no one managing quality and delivery on the ground
How Burç Consulting helps
We manage the sourcing process as a single accountable thread rather than handing a company a supplier list and stepping back — from first sample to the first shipment.
Some specialized legal, tax, accounting or engineering work required within this process is delivered through appropriate professional partners where needed. Burç Consulting does not represent itself as a licensed provider of those regulated services.
What You Get
- A supplier shortlist with pricing, minimum order quantities and lead times compared side by side
- Coordinated samples with documented feedback and revision rounds
- A production and logistics plan through to delivery
Typical Timeline
A first sourcing cycle — from brief to approved sample — typically takes 4–8 weeks; ongoing sourcing relationships settle into a predictable cadence after the first one or two orders.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the sourcing process take from brief to delivery?
A first sourcing cycle — from brief to an approved sample — typically takes four to eight weeks, with production and shipping adding further time depending on the product and destination.
Is sourcing from Türkiye more expensive than Asia?
It depends heavily on the product category and volume. Türkiye is often more competitive on lead time and shipping to Europe and the Gulf, while unit pricing can be higher or lower than Asia depending on the specific factory and category.
Do you only work with large order volumes?
No. Sourcing engagements range from small first orders to established, high-volume supply relationships — the right approach depends on the product and the client's stage, not a fixed minimum.
