VALTIER
Start your case
Partner & supplier search

A list of companies is not a supply chain.

Databases give you names. What you need is which of them can actually deliver, will talk to a foreign buyer, and answers the phone in March.

Start your caseHow it works

Who this is for

  • 01Buyers sourcing components, materials or contract manufacturing in Czechia
  • 02Companies replacing a supplier that has become a risk
  • 03Exporters looking for distribution or service partners
  • 04Procurement teams that need a shortlist they can defend internally

What Valtier handles

  • Category mapping — who exists, at what scale, and where they sit in the chain
  • Longlist construction from registers, trade sources and direct enquiry
  • Qualification against your criteria: capacity, certification, financial standing, export experience
  • Czech-language outreach to a named contact, not a general inbox
  • First-contact handling: capability questions, indicative terms, willingness to quote
  • Site visit coordination, attended and interpreted where useful
  • A shortlist with reasons, including who was excluded and why

What you will need to do

  • Provide the technical specification or scope a supplier needs in order to quote
  • Set the criteria that actually disqualify a candidate for you
  • Respond to qualified candidates within a timeframe they will accept
  • Handle commercial negotiation and contracting, with your own advisors

How it runs

  1. 01

    Brief

    Specification, volumes, certifications and the constraints that make a candidate unusable regardless of price.

  2. 02

    Longlist

    Candidates assembled from registers, trade sources and direct enquiry — with what is known about each recorded.

  3. 03

    Qualification and outreach

    Contact in Czech, capability confirmed against your criteria, and interest established before you spend a day on it.

  4. 04

    Shortlist and introduction

    A defensible shortlist, meetings or site visits arranged, and the exclusions documented alongside the recommendations.

What is not included

  • Quality inspection, factory audit or certification testing
  • Contract drafting, pricing negotiation or acting as your purchasing agent
  • Any guarantee of capacity, lead time or price from a third party
  • Commission from suppliers — we are paid by you, which is what keeps the shortlist honest

Fees

Some services carry a fixed price. Others start from a base and depend on scope. Project work is quoted per project. You receive scope and fee in writing before any work begins.

Partner & Supplier Search

Quoted per project — category, longlist size and depth of qualification.

Questions about this service

01Do you take commission from the suppliers you introduce?

No. We are paid by the client and only by the client. A search funded by the supplier side produces a shortlist of whoever pays, which is not a shortlist.

02How many candidates should we expect?

It depends entirely on the category. A niche technical specification may have four credible suppliers in the country; a common component may have forty. We agree the target shape of the longlist and shortlist before starting, so nobody is measuring success by volume.
