Step 1
Define the request
Product, quantity, destination, timing and target economics are submitted.
How It Works
A trade process you can see end to end.
RetailKid turns a product request into a sequence of clear decisions: what to source, where to source it, whether the economics work, when to commit and how to deliver.
Product first
Verify before commitment
Terms before execution
Documented handoff
The six-step flow
Simple enough to follow. Structured enough to trust.
The process is designed to reduce uncertainty before the next commitment is made.
1
Request
Product & commercial goal
2
Source
Credible routes
3
Verify
Product & parties
4
Quote
Cost, route, terms
5
Confirm
Commitment point
6
Deliver
Shipment & records
Transaction journey
What a straightforward small-lot deal can look like
The sequence below is illustrative rather than a guaranteed timeline. Actual timing depends on product availability, payment, destination, documentation and shipping method.
Step 2
Check the market
We compare credible sourcing channels, availability and current pricing.
Step 3
Build the quote
Product cost, route, shipment assumptions and commercial terms are brought together.
Step 4
Confirm & execute
Procurement or supply execution starts only after the relevant terms are confirmed.
Step 5
Deliver & document
Goods move through the agreed route with relevant records retained where available.
What gets verified
Four things that make a transaction understandable
Product
Exact model, condition, quantity and any restrictions that may affect the route.
Counterparties
Who is buying, who is selling and who is responsible for each commercial role.
Commercial terms
Price, taxes, shipping assumptions, payment trigger and cancellation conditions.
Delivery route
Origin, destination, shipment method and documentation appropriate to the transaction.
A good process also knows when to stop
Not every request should become a deal.
If the economics no longer work, the inventory cannot be verified, the parties cannot agree on terms or a compliance issue remains unresolved, stopping is often the correct commercial decision.
- The landed economics do not work
- The stock or product cannot be verified
- Commercial responsibilities remain unclear
- Destination or end-use concerns remain unresolved
