The specification comes first
A requirement without a specification is not yet a mandate. We would rather spend an extra day defining grade, tolerance and shipment window than circulate something vague and waste everyone's time.
How we work
From mandate to execution
Four stages. Each one has to close properly before the next is worth starting.
- 01
Mandate
We define the product, specification, volume, origin, destination and commercial requirements.
- 02
Sourcing
We identify relevant supply opportunities matching the mandate.
- 03
Coordination
We facilitate communication, commercial discussions and documentation between relevant parties.
- 04
Execution
We support the agreed transaction through the execution process.
How we hold it
We work for one side at a time
On any given mandate it is clear whose requirement we are acting on. That is what keeps the commercial discussion straightforward for both parties.
Discretion is part of the service
Counterparty names, pricing and terms stay between the parties they concern. Nothing shared with us in the course of a mandate is used elsewhere.
