In today’s fast-paced global trade environment, sourcing and distribution are often treated as separate workflows. One team finds the supplier, another handles freight, and yet another manages warehousing or last-mile delivery. But here’s the truth: when these functions are siloed, inefficiencies pile up.
At Eurasia Consultis, we take a different approach. We combine sourcing and distribution into one streamlined process—helping European importers save time, reduce costs, and improve reliability. Here’s how our integrated model works—and why it’s the smarter choice in 2025.
1. One Partner, Full Visibility
When sourcing and distribution are handled separately, importers often lose visibility at critical points—especially once goods leave the factory. This leads to:
- Delays in communication between supplier and shipper
- Confusion over who is responsible for customs issues
- Inconsistent product tracking across stages
Our solution: We manage both procurement and logistics under one roof. From factory gate to warehouse door, you get a single point of contact—and a clear picture of your entire supply chain.
2. Smarter Container Planning = Cost Savings
Standalone sourcing teams rarely consider freight costs when placing orders. They focus on product price—but not how that product fits into a shipping plan. That can lead to:
- Partially filled containers (wasting space and budget)
- Overlooked consolidation opportunities
- Mismatched delivery schedules
At Eurasia Consultis, we synchronize product sourcing with shipping strategy. By planning shipments across multiple SKUs and suppliers, we optimize container loads and reduce freight per unit.
3. Faster Response to Changes and Disruptions
In today’s world, flexibility is essential. Trade routes get disrupted, factories miss deadlines, and demand forecasts shift. If sourcing and logistics are disconnected, adapting takes longer.
Integrated sourcing + distribution means we can:
- Reroute shipments quickly
- Consolidate orders based on production readiness
- Adjust packaging or delivery plans without waiting on intermediaries
You don’t waste days coordinating across time zones or re-negotiating third-party contracts—we handle it all, fast.
4. Real-Time Reporting & Accountability
Who’s responsible when something goes wrong? When suppliers, forwarders, and customs brokers all work independently, finger-pointing often replaces problem-solving.
Our combined model includes:
- Centralized dashboards with order and shipment status
- Real-time inspection updates
- QC-triggered hold-and-release shipping protocols
We take full accountability—because we’re in charge of the entire flow.
5. Easier Scalability for Retailers and Wholesalers
When your business grows, so do the moving parts: more SKUs, more suppliers, more containers. Scaling with fragmented partners leads to inconsistent service and mounting errors.
Eurasia Consultis offers plug-and-play scalability:
- Unified supplier onboarding
- Consolidated invoicing and documentation
- Integrated import compliance (CE, REACH, customs clearance)
Whether you’re moving 1 or 50 containers a month, you grow without adding internal complexity.
Case Example: How One Client Cut 21% in Total Costs
A French DIY retailer importing 12 SKUs of construction accessories was losing margin due to:
- Disconnected suppliers using inconsistent packaging
- Empty container space
- Last-minute air shipments due to poor timeline coordination
After shifting to Eurasia Consultis’ integrated sourcing + distribution model, they:
- Unified packaging specs to reduce CBM
- Consolidated suppliers by region
- Locked in lower freight rates through planned shipping cycles
Result: 21% cost savings and a 47% reduction in late shipments.
Final Thoughts: Why Integration Is the Future
The global supply chain is getting more complex—not less. Fragmented sourcing and logistics might have worked 10 years ago, but today, they cost you time, money, and control.
By combining sourcing and distribution, Eurasia Consultis helps European companies:
- Improve margins
- Reduce shipment errors
- Speed up time-to-market
- Gain full control over their import process
