Industrial procurement often begins with a technical requirement that needs to be clearly understood before a suitable product can be identified and sourced. Product type, size, material, connection, specification and application requirements can all affect the suitability of the final selection.
TSI provides engineering-led technical consultation to help customers clarify these requirements before proceeding with sourcing. We work with the information provided by the customer to understand the intended application and help identify the appropriate product, size, material and specification for the requirement.
Our support is particularly relevant where the requirement involves instrumentation, flow control products, tubing, fittings, valves, bolting or corrosion-resistant materials. This includes requirements involving stainless steel, duplex, super duplex and selected nickel-based alloys, where choosing the appropriate material can be an important part of the purchasing decision.
Once the technical requirement has been sufficiently defined, TSI supports the sourcing process by identifying suitable manufacturers, suppliers or stockists for the required product or material. Our role is to connect the customer’s technical requirement with a practical sourcing route and support the procurement process through to supply.
TECHNICAL CONSULTATION
TSI provides practical technical consultation to help customers clearly define their requirements before sourcing. We assist in reviewing the required product, size, material and specification based on the information available for the application. This approach helps customers make a more informed purchasing decision and provides a clear technical basis for the subsequent sourcing and supply process.
