South AfricaInternational Sourcing & Procurement Specialist at Continental Homeware
About
At Continental Homeware, I identify overseas manufacturers, compare supplier quotations, and negotiate pricing and commercial terms for wholesale homeware products. I independently evaluate supplier options and recommend preferred suppliers for the director’s approval.
I prepare RFQs, contribute to product sourcing and development, and design product color boxes while assisting with packaging specifications. I also prepare import documentation for clearing agents and use Sage inventory software.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, I recommended temporarily shifting sourcing from conventional homeware to personal protective equipment. Revenue from PPE trading helped the business maintain operations, continue paying employees without retrenchments, and meet obligations to suppliers with credit accounts.
