Our consulting standard

Decisions that survive contact with reality.

Good advice should change what happens next: which supplier you select, what risk you remove, what the shipment costs and how confidently you enter a market.

01

Clarity before commitment

We define the commercial question, test the assumptions and show where more evidence is needed before money moves.

02

Value beyond unit price

We look at quality, lead time, compliance, reliability and landed cost—not a quotation in isolation.

03

Execution with ownership

Where agreed, the same team carries the work from analysis through supplier contact, inspection and handover.

Regional sourcing

Source where the advantage is real.

Each market has different strengths, business customs and risks. We build the sourcing route around the category and commercial case instead of forcing every project into one country.

Market entry

Translate opportunity into an executable route.

FAQ

Questions worth answering early.

Scope matters in international work. These answers explain where Cakglo leads, where specialists are involved and how an engagement starts.

Which sourcing markets does Cakglo cover?

We support projects in Indonesia, Türkiye, China and Southeast Asia. The delivery model and level of field verification depend on the country, category and scope.

Can Cakglo inspect suppliers and shipments?

Yes. We coordinate supplier qualification, factory or site checks, production monitoring and pre-shipment inspection through our team and professional inspection network.

Do you provide Turkish legal or investment advice?

No. We coordinate the project and multilingual workstreams. Regulated legal, immigration, banking, valuation, property and investment advice is delivered by appropriately licensed independent professionals.

Can you help with a small or first-time sourcing project?

Yes, when the economics and risk justify the work. The first call is used to assess feasibility honestly; we will also say when a consulting engagement is unlikely to pay off.

How are consulting fees structured?

Fees are scoped per project based on markets, categories, research depth, fieldwork and deliverables. You receive the scope and price before the engagement begins.

Can you execute after presenting the recommendation?

Yes. Depending on the assignment, Cakglo can continue into supplier contact, qualification, inspection, documentation workstreams and implementation coordination.
