A clearer way to work

One commercial counterpart, from requirement to delivery.

ALPHATRADE combines product supply with the specification, packaging, production, documentation and delivery coordination required to execute each supply program. Manufacturing is performed through qualified production partners selected for each program; ALPHATRADE remains your commercial counterpart throughout, and keeps the working information clear at every handover.

The working process

From inquiry to delivery and repeat supply.

  1. 01Requirement

    Share the product, destination, expected volume and timing. A partial brief is enough to start.

  2. 02Product, specification and pack

    Confirm the recipe or grade, product specification, pack size and artwork requirements before the order is agreed.

  3. 03Quotation and order terms

    Review ALPHATRADE’s quotation: quantities, price, payment, Incoterms, documentation and delivery schedule.

  4. 04Production and verification

    Production is coordinated with the selected manufacturing partner against the approved order. Agree any sampling, analysis or inspection requirements before release.

  5. 05Shipment and documentation

    Confirm the loading plan, shipping documents and delivery responsibilities against the agreed destination and Incoterms.

  6. 06Receiving review and repeat supply

    Review the received goods and documents, report any discrepancy, and use the approved specification as the basis for subsequent orders.

Prepare your requirement

A stronger inquiry starts with the right information.

The more clearly the commercial requirement is defined, the faster ALPHATRADE can assess the fit and identify the appropriate next step.

  • Product category and preferred format
  • Estimated quantity and order frequency
  • Destination market and delivery location

Common questions

Start with the details that matter.

Who is this service for?

ALPHATRADE works with professional food buyers, importers, distributors and wholesale teams.

How do I begin?

Start an RFQ with what you know. Your requirement does not need to be complete: share the product, target market, pack format and expected volume, and we will review the commercial fit.

What should I include in a quality or documentation inquiry?

Share the product, intended market, pack format, required information and any buyer documentation expectations.

Who is my commercial supplier?

You buy from ALPHATRADE. We issue the commercial offer and coordinate the selected manufacturing partner against the agreed product, packaging and delivery requirements.

Which details should be confirmed first?

The product format, pack size, quantity, destination, label requirements, timing and required commercial information should be made clear as early as possible.

Does ALPHATRADE replace a buyer’s regulatory or legal responsibility?

No. ALPHATRADE supports commercial coordination and documentation alignment. Buyers remain responsible for their own legal, regulatory, import and market-entry obligations.

What are the minimum order and lead time?

Minimum order, lead time and delivery schedule are defined by the nature and breakdown of each supply program - product, format, brand and destination - and confirmed with the quotation.

On what terms are programs executed?

Programs are executed under Incoterms® 2020 - FOB, CFR, CIF, and DAP or DDP for selected destinations. Payment terms and shipment plan are confirmed with the quotation.

Professional buyer inquiries

Send the requirement. We will review the commercial fit.

Your requirement does not need to be complete. Share what you know: product, quantity, destination, packaging requirements and timing. ALPHATRADE will review the scope and outline the next commercial step.
