Your Guide to Strategic Caribbean Sourcing
Our goal is to make global procurement transparent and predictable. This center provides detailed answers to frequently asked questions and outlines the processes we follow to ensure quality, compliance, and timely delivery.
Understanding the Procurement Process
1. What is Global Strategic Sourcing? Global Strategic Sourcing is a disciplined and data-driven procurement process that identifies, evaluates, and engages the best suppliers worldwide to meet specific organizational requirements, focusing on long-term value creation, risk management, and stability.
2. How do I start the engagement process with Tyled Global? The process begins with a Discovery Consultation. We first define your precise product specifications, volume requirements, target pricing, and logistical needs. We then use this data to initiate a targeted sourcing and vetting search within our Caribbean network.
3. What is the typical timeline for a sourcing project? Timelines vary based on product complexity, required certifications, and order volume.
- Initial Sourcing & Vetting: 2–4 weeks.
- Negotiation & PO Finalization: 1–2 weeks.
- Production & Logistics: Depends on the supplier’s lead time and final destination (details covered in Logistics & Freight Details).
Quality & Compliance Assurance
4. How do you ensure supplier reliability and product quality? Our reliability is built on Rigorous Supplier Vetting. This involves an intensive, multi-point process including:
- On-site verification and inspection of facilities.
- Review of legal, compliance, and quality documentation (e.g., HACCP, ISO certifications).
- Verification of production capacity and ethical sourcing standards.
5. How does Tyled Global manage Financial & Trade Compliance? We integrate compliance directly into our process to minimize your risk. This involves managing payment processing, performing accurate tariff classification, and ensuring strict adherence to all relevant international trade laws, avoiding delays and penalties.
6. What industries do you specialize in sourcing for? We specialize in sourcing for global clients across six key sectors, leveraging our deep regional insight in the Caribbean supply chain: Food & Beverage, Hospitality & Tourism, Retail & Distribution, Manufacturing & Industrial Supply, Health & Wellness, and Government & Institutional Procurement.
