Services Work Independently or Together
Many businesses use multiple services as their operations evolve. Here are common combinations and why they work well together.
Sourcing + Quality Testing
Businesses using the sourcing hub often add quality testing to verify batch consistency before distribution. The combination creates systematic quality control across your supply chain.
Testing can be built into the sourcing process or done separately based on your needs.
Concept Development + Sourcing
New cafés established through our development service sometimes use the sourcing hub for ongoing supply coordination. This provides continuity from planning through operations.
Development includes supplier recommendations that can transition to hub coordination.
All Three Services
Some businesses developing new operations use concept development for planning, then transition to sourcing hub and quality testing for ongoing operations.
This creates integrated systems from initial concept through daily operations.
Single Service Focus
Each service also works independently. Many businesses use only quality testing for supplier verification, or only concept development for strategic planning.
Services are structured to be valuable on their own without requiring other commitments.
Common Questions About Our Services
Can I start with one service and add others later?
Yes. Services are designed to work independently or together. Many businesses start with quality testing or concept development, then add sourcing coordination as their operations expand.
Do I need to be located in Singapore to use these services?
No. While we operate from Singapore, services work for businesses throughout Asia-Pacific and beyond. Sourcing hub coordinates shipments to your location. Concept development applies to various markets. Quality testing accepts samples via courier.
What's the minimum commitment for the sourcing hub?
Monthly retainer typically requires 3-month minimum to establish systems effectively. After initial period, arrangements can be adjusted based on your sourcing patterns and volume.
How detailed is the café concept development?
Development includes market analysis, concept positioning, interior design direction, equipment specifications, menu engineering, financial projections, and launch planning. You receive comprehensive documentation ready for implementation.
What do quality testing reports include?
Reports provide cupping scores, moisture content, density measurements, defect analysis, and sensory notes. Data is presented in formats suitable for supplier feedback, internal documentation, or quality benchmarking.
