Before discussing a deposit or committing to an order, you may need a clearer picture of the company involved. A familiar product photograph, a polished catalogue and an attractive unit price still leave practical questions about the legal entity, its role and the documents supporting its offer.

SerSourcing reviews agreed supplier information and presents the findings in a form your purchasing team can act on. An assignment examines available public company information, the consistency of legal names, tax/registry references and addresses across supplied documents, the supplier’s stated manufacturing or trading role, and how its offer relates to the product literature provided.
For relevant certificates and test reports within the 5-document / 25-page scope, we check the named issuing body, company name, product scope and validity dates. Direct confirmation with an issuer is included where agreed and practicable.
We agree the checks, review the material, raise clarification questions and deliver a concise English report separating document references, external confirmations and unverified supplier statements.
If your question requires seeing production machinery or stock in person, you can upgrade to Verify Before You Buy (PK-VERIFY, €890), which combines Supplier Desk Check, one core-area Factory Visit and Quotation Comparison.
Scoped on-site visits in Türkiye with up to 4 or 6 on-site hours, core-area travel included and an English photo report separating observations from statements.
Normalise up to 3 Turkish supplier quotations across up to 10 line items—aligning units, dimensions, grades, inclusions and Incoterms.
Organise supplier documents, product references, drawing revisions and packing records so missing or mismatched files are caught early.
Inspect the structure of a SerSourcing report—including the editable template and three fictional training examples separating observations from statements.
Yes. Share the company details, quotation and up to five documents. You do not need to commission a supplier search to book a €190 Supplier Desk Check.
No. SS-DESK is a remote review of one legal entity and up to 5 documents (25 pages). For on-site observation, combine it with SS-VISIT (€490) or choose the PK-VERIFY bundle (€890).
We record the item explicitly as unconfirmed, explain why the evidence is incomplete (for example, expired scope or different company name) and list the exact proof to request from the supplier.
Yes, for the same unchanged supplier and assignment, the completed €190 eligible component can be credited once against the currently available PK-VERIFY bundle as confirmed in your written quotation.
No. Verification improves pre-contract visibility over available company and document consistency; future financial solvency and contractual performance are not guaranteed.
Standard SS-DESK covers up to 5 documents and 25 pages total. Larger document sets are assessed during the free initial review and quoted transparently before work starts.
