Industrial Sourcing Agent Advantages

There are a wide range of benefits associated with using a sourcing agent over an international distributor for the procurement of overseas resources. Some of the main advantages of using a product sourcing agent, include:

• Employee Costs – The costs associated with training and housing your employees overseas is eliminated.
• Opportunities – Sourcing agents can grasp and exploit a variety of benefits associated with the overseas market.
• Built-In Working Relationships – An excellent sourcing agent will already have solid relationships with potential buyers and sellers.
• Control – The use of a sourcing agent allows you to maintain more control over matters such as final price and brand image.

International Distributor Disadvantages

An international distributor generally purchases products at a wholesale price and then sells those products at a mark-up to turn a profit. Distributors provide a set range of ready-made inventory that is available for sale, but do not have many types of customization options to cater to individual needs. Some of the direct disadvantages of working with an international distributor include:

• Expense – Distributors will often expect heavy discounts and generous credit terms in exchange for taking on trade related risks and burdens.
• Loss of Control – You can often lose certain aspects of control to the distributor due to the deal structure.
• Exclusivity – Distributors often require terms of exclusivity within their deal structures, which can be a disadvantage if the distributor does not end up being the right fit.
