Distinguishing Between An International Trading Company And An International Sourcing Company

So it is quite obvious that as time progressed, this age old practice has also evolved. In this global age, Import and Export has expanded into all the corners of the world and so it is certainly rewarding to keep yourself updated on the latest trends in the markets.

Ever browsed through business articles and found yourself mystified by the terms “International trading company” and “International sourcing company”? At first appearance they may appear quite similar, but are in fact functionally different. Read on to find out what sets the two apart.

    A trading company is essentially a wholesaler, and does not sell goods or services on demand. They research the current and future trends in the market to locate a sector best suited to their expertise. Detailed plans are set in motion that outlines the promotion of their stocks, potential targets and the strategies to attract new businesses. 

    A sourcing company, on the other hand, surveys places overseas that are suited for the client-specific products. They offer management strategies and solutions to guide the clients.

  • Area Of Operation
    A trading company operates in specific areas like food, cosmetics, sports etc. Though these companies may expand the product range, they rarely change the domain. Customers are related by the products and categorized on details like occupation, age, social class, gender etc. Their services are personalized on an International level. 

    A sourcing company does not restrict itself to a specialty or client categories. These companies form collaborations for long or short terms. They take on regular or occasional orders.

  • Location
    Trading companies do not confine themselves to one country. They have a profit oriented motive to products their goods. For promoting “low cost”, they engage skilled employees and market experts or employ a sourcing company. 

    Sourcing companies are located in places where the raw materials and labor is cheap. This offers them advantage in choice of suppliers and negotiations. Agents help them locate a suitable supplier who can meet the requirements. The companies keep close watch to ensure that the products meet the specifications of the clients. They also take care of the moving procedures.

The international trade is facilitated by a country which is engaged in the selling of product or rendering of service, known as the exporter and the country which buys such product or avails such services is called Importer. International trade consists of two main factors which facilitates the control over trade:

  • Free trade:
    It eliminates all the limitations imposed on trade. Keen attention is paid to the demand and supply of products to facilitate smooth production process.
  • Protectionism:
    Executed in the form of tariffs and quotas, Protectionism is to impose appropriate guidelines which will ease the proper functioning of the market. This is done because the improper working of market can hamper the growth of international trade.

International trade has resulted in many benefits from all the aspects:

  • It has led to an increase in economic wealth: International trade has resulted in overall increased economic wealth of the nations which contributes to the economic development of the world as a whole.

  • Optimum utilization of resources of well heeled countries:Countries with rich resources can help the other resource-deficient countries by providing them high quality material at low costs. This act as beneficial to both the countries.
  • It increases the productivity of the country: International trade enhances the productivity of countries which eventually leads to improvement in world economy. The countries make appropriate use of their resources to serve other nations in a better way for mutual growth.

Trade has been a part of civilization for centuries but the way international trading is done now has made the world a ‘panacea’ once again which will bring in more benefits in the times to come.
