A CLEARER PATH TO PROCUREMENT.

From the first brief
to ongoing support.

A practical route for buyers to explore products, agree terms and keep the right people connected.

  1. 01

    Share your sourcing brief

    Tell us the product category, specifications, estimated quantities and intended use so the right team can respond.

  2. 02

    Explore products locally

    Review participating brands and arrange sample viewing, demonstrations or testing where available.

  3. 03

    Agree the order

    Confirm specifications, price and terms with the factory. Clarify payment, import and delivery responsibilities before proceeding.

  4. 04

    Keep support connected

    Use the local contact to coordinate delivery questions, product feedback and the factory’s technical or parts support.

See the sample. Shape the next step.

Post-exhibition samples can stay in South Africa by arrangement, giving buyers more time to view or test products. Small local stock may follow when suitable and agreed.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW.

Clear from
the start.

Is joining the platform free?

Factories and brands can apply free of charge for a basic company and product presentation. Optional services and any associated costs are confirmed separately before work starts.

Can I browse a product catalogue now?

Explore participating brands and their main product categories in our brand directory. For specific models, prices, minimum quantities and delivery arrangements, send an enquiry from the brand page.

What should suppliers prepare?

Start with three essentials: a company introduction, product information and contact details. Display content is confirmed together before onboarding; detailed supply terms can follow for relevant enquiries.

How are purchasing and delivery arranged?

Specifications, quantities, prices and terms are agreed with the supplier for each enquiry. The local team can help clarify payment routes, import preparation and delivery responsibilities within the agreed scope.
