What is the difference between sourcing and procurement?
Sourcing is the upstream decision work: market scan, supplier selection, negotiation, and risk tradeoffs. Procurement is the downstream execution: buying, receiving, and paying. GTsetu focuses on sourcing—helping you find and verify the right suppliers before procurement begins.
How does GTsetu verify suppliers?
GTsetu uses government tie-ups to verify 6 points: Company name, registration number, registered address, date of incorporation, company type, and active business status. We do not verify sales capability, financial standing, or product certifications—these remain your due diligence responsibility.
What sourcing models does GTsetu support?
We support single sourcing, dual sourcing, multi-sourcing, near-sourcing, and global sourcing. Our platform helps you diversify suppliers and regions to build resilience against disruptions, tariffs, and geopolitical risks.
How does GTsetu handle total cost of ownership (TCO)?
Within the encrypted workspace, you can evaluate landed cost including freight, tariffs, insurance, currency exchange, and compliance costs. This helps you compare suppliers beyond unit price before committing.
Can I protect my intellectual property during sourcing?
Yes. GTsetu’s NDA-first workflow ensures that no specifications or commercial data are shared until a mutual NDA is executed. All data is shared within an encrypted workspace with full access logs.
What countries does GTsetu cover for sourcing?
GTsetu has verified suppliers across 100+ countries, including Vietnam, China, India, Germany, UK, USA, Mexico, Brazil, and growing coverage in ASEAN, Europe, and the Americas.
