8 Practical Buying Guides
Practical guides for structured purchasing in Türkiye
Clear purchasing decisions start before anyone visits a plant or wires a deposit. These eight guides set out the exact checklists, unit-normalisation methods, evidence rules, visit agendas and tariff calculations we use when supporting building-material, steel and modular-component buyers in Türkiye.

Explore scope & checklistSourcing Costs in Türkiye
Understand how sourcing, factory-visit and buying-office fees in Türkiye are structured under our published EUR tariff, with three worked EUR budget examples.
Explore scope & checklistFactory Visit Checklist
Prepare a productive 4-hour or 6-hour Turkish factory visit with four readiness checklists and a minute-by-minute on-site agenda.
Explore scope & checklistSupplier Shortlist Scorecard
Evaluate Turkish supplier candidates objectively using pass/fail essential gates, a 100-point weighted table and honest handling of Unknown data.
Explore scope & checklistMany cross-border purchasing disputes trace back to an incomplete initial enquiry: two factories quote different steel thicknesses or sheet sizes under the same product name, a buyer assumes a commercial factory visit substitutes for laboratory testing, or three suppliers finish goods on incompatible dates without a shared dispatch plan.
Each guide below addresses one specific decision gate in the buying cycle. Use them internally with your procurement or project engineering team, or share your specification so SerSourcing can turn the checklist into a scoped assignment under our published EUR tariff.
