The good news is, Source One is a full-service sourcing solutions provider and with over three decades in the industry, we are well-positioned to guide you toward transformative change.
But, what does this mean for you? How can partnering with Source One help you to take your business to even greater heights? On this page we will highlight the Source One difference and talk you through all of the benefits that come with leveraging third-party product sourcing solutions for your business.
Let’s get started!
Why Choose Product Sourcing in Asia?
First, let’s confirm as to whether or not sourcing in Asia is the right move for you. Here are some of the advantages of doing as such:
- Lower costs: Asia has long been a popular sourcing destination for a wide variety of different reasons, the primary of which is its affordability. With low production and labour costs, you can easily find the skillset that you need to manufacture your chosen products at a fraction of the price compared to the West. In addition to that, there is greater access to raw materials which also helps to reduce production costs even further. Across the board, you can expect to save at least 20% on your specialised manufacturing and product sourcing than you would anywhere else in the world!
- Larger supply base: When so many Asian suppliers rely on maintaining a sterling reputation to thrive among the immense competition, it grants businesses like yours access to a plethora of premium quality manufacturers. This works significantly in your favour as you will have the power to negotiate more attractive terms and personalised services that accommodate your specific business needs.
- The one drawback of this abundance in suppliers is the fact that there is a good chance that you can get ‘duped’ or ‘ripped off’ if you are not careful. It takes time and research to separate the proverbial wheat from the chaff and working with a reputable sourcing agent with over 30-years in specialised manufacturing and product sourcing in Asia is highly recommended (which is where we come in).
- Exceptional product quality: Another very attractive prospect when sourcing products in Asia is the fact that you can secure your desired products without compromising on the quality. Most people would ask: “What’s the catch?” when offered a 20% decrease in production and labour costs, however, when you go into business with the right supplier for you, you can indeed enjoy exceptional product quality for less.
- Impressive efficiency: One thing that many Asian production and manufacturing companies are known for is their impressive efficiency. Being able to maintain consistent manufacturing speed in order to ensure that they remain ahead of the competition is an essentiality for survival in such a saturated market. Again, while this is definitely a bonus for you, it reinforces the need to take extra care when choosing your manufacturer and supplier. There must be contingencies in place to ensure that you can always deliver the goods to your customers.
If the advantages listed above sound appealing to you, then sourcing from Asia might just be the solution you’ve been looking for. That said, tapping into a foreign market without any experience requires an awful lot of time and resources on your part – which is why Source One would like to offer you a resolution: leverage our expertise and leave all of the hard work to us instead!
Below we will highlight some of the benefits of letting us do all of the hard work for you…
The Source One Difference: Sourcing with Us
If you are worried that hiring a third-party product sourcing agency might be an unnecessary expense when you can go ahead and take care of your sourcing requirements in-house, then we urge you to read this next section carefully.
The fact is, delegating these tasks can in fact save you a lot of money – not to mention precious time that you can re-invest into the more important, revenue generating tasks in your business, such as customer service and client acquisition.
Here are 7 reasons not to overlook product sourcing with us:
1.Three decades of negotiation

However, we at Source One can help you by handling factory and site inspections, and all of the other required administrative tasks to ensure full compliance.
