Initial requirement
We begin with the product, available specification, expected quantity, destination, timing and commercial priorities. Incomplete information is acceptable at this stage.
How we work
A procurement process with clear decisions
Finding candidate suppliers is only the beginning. Berg builds a controlled structure across qualification, samples, price benchmarking, negotiation, contracting, production control, inspection, consolidation, freight and repeat procurement.
From requirement to repeat procurement
Berg can also enter midway. A client may already have a supplier, an approved sample, goods in production or a shipment requiring local intervention.
Discovery channels can produce names quickly. A controlled procurement structure tests who will make the exact specification, records what was approved, and keeps commercial responsibility, production decisions and shipment release connected. That matters when a sample drifts in mass production, work is subcontracted without clarity, goods are wrong or defective, or a supplier stops responding.
Define and source
Commercial feasibility
We test whether the requirement, volume, target economics and delivery expectations support a viable sourcing process.
Supplier market mapping
Relevant manufacturers and supply routes are identified. Existing suppliers can be included rather than replaced.
Quotation
Offers are normalized so materials, tooling, packaging, payment, Incoterms and delivery assumptions can be compared.
Verify and structure
Supplier evaluation
Identity, production capability, documentation and commercial signals are checked to the level the order requires.
Sample
Samples are coordinated and assessed against the specification. Changes and approval points are documented.
Commercial negotiation
Price, payment, lead time, quality obligations, corrective action and practical responsibilities are agreed.
Order structure
The contractual, purchasing, approval and communication structure is confirmed before production.
Produce and deliver
Production
Berg follows milestones and resolves China-side questions with the supplier as they arise.
Quality control
Pre-production, during-production or pre-shipment controls are coordinated against the agreed risk points.
Logistics
Pickup, consolidation, documents, freight and customs coordination are aligned with the order.
Delivery and repeat procurement
Delivery closes the first cycle. Supplier performance, recurring issues and cost points inform the next order.
What stays visible to the client
Scope and responsibility
Who buys, who approves, who inspects and who controls each supplier is agreed at the outset.
Commercial comparison
Pricing is considered with terms, quality, tooling, packaging, freight and implementation risk.
Exceptions and approvals
Material changes and unresolved points are raised before they become irreversible production or shipment decisions.
