From requirement to shipment.
The sequence we work through for a new order, in order. Not every step applies to every transaction. The exact path depends on the product, destination and agreed terms.
The buyer shares the requirement
We start with the specifics. The more precise the requirement, the more accurately the supply side can be evaluated.
- Product
- Specification
- Quantity
- Quality requirements
- Packaging
- Destination
- Expected timeline
- Preferred commercial terms
- Any compliance or documentation requirements
Feasibility & sourcing
We evaluate the requirement and identify suitable supply capability, covering supplier identification, product availability, production capability, minimum order quantity, specification compatibility, expected lead time and commercial feasibility.
Not every requirement can always be fulfilled. The objective at this stage is to establish whether it's commercially executable.
Sample & specification confirmation
Where appropriate, we work through samples, product specifications, material confirmation, packaging details, lab or testing requirements, and buyer approvals.
Production should proceed only after the relevant specifications and commercial details are aligned.
Commercial discussion
The commercial structure is agreed based on product, quantity, specifications, packaging, destination, Incoterm, payment terms and shipment requirements.
Pricing depends on the actual requirement. We don't publish fixed prices.
Order & payment
Depending on the transaction, an agreed percentage can be paid in advance, with the balance structured according to the agreed commercial terms. For suitable transactions, payment can also be structured through a Letter of Credit, with terms, documentation and bank requirements agreed and reviewed carefully before shipment.
The payment structure is agreed according to the transaction, buyer profile, order value, risk considerations and commercial requirements. The objective is clarity before execution begins.
Production & execution
Once the order is commercially confirmed, we coordinate supplier follow-up, production tracking, specification monitoring, packaging coordination, timeline tracking and documentation preparation.
Dasverra coordinates the supply side rather than simply passing a supplier contact to the buyer.
Quality & verification
Verification can be built into the process in different ways, depending on the transaction.
- Buyer inspection: the buyer can arrange a visit to inspect the supplier, product, production or facility where appropriate.
- Third-party inspection: an independent inspection agency can be engaged where required.
- Dasverra coordination: we coordinate the required checks and documentation around the agreed quality requirements.
Verification is built into the process wherever the transaction requires it. We don't claim quality is guaranteed by default.
Packaging & documentation
Export execution may involve coordination of commercial invoice, packing list, shipping documentation, certificate requirements, origin documentation, inspection documentation and other destination-specific documents, as applicable to the product, destination and agreed transaction.
Shipping
We structure the shipment around the buyer's destination, commercial requirements and agreed Incoterm: EXW, FOB, CFR, CIF or DAP, depending on the transaction. See Trade & Payment for how each is structured.
Final responsibilities are governed by the agreed Incoterm and commercial contract. This is not legal advice.
Shipment & delivery
The final stage covers cargo handover, freight coordination, shipping documentation, shipment tracking where available, destination coordination according to the agreed Incoterm, document sharing and commercial closure.
