Quick answers
- What is Buyer Reach Audit for ASEAN sourcing teams?
- A 60-second Google Search API check on any Indian or UAE supplier you're evaluating. Shows the real SERP evidence — what a Singapore or KL procurement lead sees when they Google that supplier's capability, not the polished PDF the supplier sends you.
- Who is this for?
- Category managers, procurement heads and trading houses in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Jakarta running a China+1 mandate — sourcing steel fabrication, precision machining, injection moulding, wiring harness and industrial equipment from India or the GCC.
- Why not just use a directory or an inspection company?
- Directories are pay-to-list, not verified. Third-party inspections come after you shortlist. Buyer Reach Audit sits before shortlisting — it shows which suppliers actually have visibility, technical depth, and a working RFQ intake procurement teams can trust.

Questions Manufacturers Ask Us
How do I verify an Indian supplier without flying to India?

We help ASEAN buyers with steps 1–5.
Is it cheaper to source from India, Vietnam or Mexico in 2026?
It depends on part complexity, MOQ, and Incoterm. India wins on precision machining and steel fabrication for GCC-adjacent lead times and IATF-certified supply. Vietnam wins on electronics and injection moulding for ASEAN-internal freight. Mexico wins on USMCA-content nearshoring. See our sourcing India vs Vietnam vs Mexico 2026 guide for the 8-factor comparison table.
Do you charge the buyer or the supplier?
Buyer-paid. We don't take supplier commissions — that's the conflict-of-interest baked into sourcing agents. The Buyer Reach Audit itself is free; deeper verification engagements are quoted in SGD/MYR/USD.
Do you cover UAE suppliers as well?
Yes. Same buyer-side lens — ADNOC-approved fabricators, JAFZA-registered manufacturers, ICV-scoring signals, and Big-5 Dubai exhibitors. Common for ASEAN buyers sourcing steel fabrication and oil-&-gas equipment.
What about Enterprise Singapore EDG or MDG (Malaysia) funding?
Sourcing consultancy of this kind is often EDG/MDG-supportable when the buyer is establishing a new supplier corridor. We can shape the scope of work so it maps to eligible activities — talk to us before the grant submission window closes.
