Artikore runs a structured sourcing process from brief to award. Requirements are codified into a standardized RFP/RFQ pack , a qualified bidder list is invited, and a moderated Q&A keeps proposals directly comparable.

Submissions are scored with transparent scorecards(price, MOQs, lead-time reliability, capacity, and quality history)and down-selected to trials with defined sample plans and, where needed, on-site validations.

Commercial clarifications are facilitated and a negotiation-ready recommendation like primary and backup is delivered. It produces rigorous side-by-side evaluation, a credible partner recommendation, and a faster move from scoping to PO issuance.

Deliverables

  • Comparable cost tables (FOB and landed assumptions)

  • Factory profiles and audit/visit notes (as applicable)

  • Sample plan & approval criteria (proto/fit/PP for apparel; golden sample for goods)

  • Recommendation memo with negotiation points and backup options

KPIs We Drive

  • Cost vs. benchmark (target unit economics achieved)

  • First-pass sample approval rate

  • Lead-time variance reduction and on-time delivery baseline

  • Supplier concentration risk (primary/backup secured)
