Typical timelines
Typically 1–3 weeks for a focused brief on Java, Bali or Lombok. Rare specs, outer islands or a long exclusion list take longer — we say so in the written scope.

Supplier search & shortlisting
Remote inbox outreach rarely shows true capacity, licence status or willingness to export. We search on the ground in Indonesia, check the company registry, and hand you a comparison shortlist you can actually brief against.
From €590Founding clients: from €413
What's included
- Kick-off briefing on product, specs, target price, MOQ, certifications and destination markets
- Desk research plus field and network outreach (associations, clusters, existing factory contacts)
- Company-registry plausibility checks on shortlisted names (e.g. NIB / AHU extracts where available)
- First contact to confirm interest, indicative pricing, lead times and export experience
- Comparison table — typically 3–5 candidates — with red flags called out in plain language
Deliverables
- Shortlist of typically 3–5 manufacturers or traders
- Registry notes and any obvious licence or address mismatches
- Comparison table (location, capacity, indicative price/MOQ, licences mentioned, recommended next step)
- Hand-over call to walk through who to visit, verify or drop
Process
- 1
Briefing
30-minute intro: commodity, spec, volumes, target price, markets and any suppliers to include or exclude.
- 2
Search plan
We agree regions (Java / Bali / Lombok first unless you need elsewhere) and channels before outreach starts.
- 3
Outreach & checks
Contact factories and traders, collect indicative data, and run registry plausibility checks.
- 4
Shortlist hand-over
Written comparison plus a call. Typical next modules: site visit, document verification or EUDR/Lacey evidence.
Who it's for
- SME importers in the EU or US without a trusted Indonesia factory list
- Buyers replacing a non-cooperative or single-source supplier
- Teams that want a field-checked shortlist before flying out or placing a trial order
How engagement works
Scoped per search brief (one product family, agreed region and candidate count). You receive a written scope before work starts. Adjacent negotiation support can follow if you place an order.
Pricing approach
Sourcing shortlist
Introductory from €590 — typically 3–5 checked suppliers, registry notes and a comparison table.
Negotiation & order management (adjacent)
5–8% of order value, or a monthly retainer from €800. We do not take hidden commissions from suppliers.
Introductory “from” prices. The final fee is set after a written scope. Travel outside the Lombok, Bali and Java metro areas is billed separately. Not a binding offer.
Founding-client offer: the first five projects receive 30% off the first project, in exchange for process feedback.
FAQ
How do you find suppliers and manufacturers?
Industry contacts, associations, trade fairs, registries and on-site research. Every shortlisted name is checked via company registry and direct contact; a site visit is a separate module if you want it.
Can you find suppliers if I do not need EUDR?
Yes. Search, verification, audits, samples and inspection stand alone. Compliance modules are optional add-ons.
What if a supplier will not cooperate?
We document it. That is useful risk information — and often a reason to widen or replace the supplier base before you invest in audits or evidence.
