For Biosmyrna, the sourcing process starts long before the product reaches the customer. Identifying the right source and making sure the product meets the required characteristics form the foundation of a reliable supply chain.
Working with the right source
The quality and reliability of an organic product are closely linked to its source.
That is why, in sourcing, we need to look not only at the product itself, but also at its producer, production conditions, organic status and history.
At Biosmyrna, we value developing long-term relationships with producers, producer groups and reliable supply sources. We assess suitable supply sources according to the nature and quantity of the product and the customer’s needs.
Verifying organic status
In organic product trade, being able to describe a product as organic is one of the core elements of the sourcing process.
That is why the relevant organic certification, the product’s scope and the required documents need to be checked.
But for us, organic status is more than a document. We also consider which production system the product comes from and whether its organic identity is preserved throughout the supply chain.
Quality starts before the product arrives
Waiting for the product to reach the business can be too late a stage to assess quality.
When buying a product, its characteristics, source, available analysis results and the specifications requested by the customer are taken into account.
Where necessary, additional analyses and checks are planned. This way, the sourcing decision is made not only on price and availability, but by assessing the product’s quality and conformity characteristics together.
Continuity of supply also matters
Reliable supply does not just mean getting a single shipment right.
Especially for customers with regular product needs, quantity, quality and delivery need to be managed sustainably.
That is why, at Biosmyrna, we value developing long-term commercial relationships with our suppliers based on mutual trust, beyond short-term transactions.
From sourcing to delivery
A good sourcing process does not end with buying the product.
From the product’s acceptance into the business to its storage, and from its preparation where needed to its shipment, the product’s quality, organic identity and traceability must be protected.
At Biosmyrna, we treat sourcing as part of this whole.
For us, the right sourcing is not just finding the product; it is knowing its source, trusting its quality and building a supply structure that can keep the promise we make to the customer.
