Direct collaboration can create a useful route for discussing manufacturing capabilities and buyer requirements. It does not mean that a sourcing partner owns the plant. Sahydex’s jaggery model is collaboration with a manufacturer, with product details confirmed for each enquiry.
Use access to clarify feasibility
Discuss shapes, particle sizes, packaging and requested analytical parameters with the manufacturing partner. Ask which changes are feasible and what trial, minimum volume or lead time they require. Record the limits rather than assuming every custom request can be fulfilled.
Define responsibilities
Agree which party produces, contracts, tests, packs and ships. Identify the point of contact for samples, specification approval and changes. A clear coordination process helps buyers assess the offer and decide whether it meets their technical and commercial requirements.
