Novum Sourcing — Global Sourcing & Procurement Advisory
What we do

Sourcing and procurement support built around your business.

Our advisory services help purchasing teams move from a sourcing need to an informed supplier conversation. We focus on research, supplier evaluation, commercial clarity, and follow-through.

01 / Advisory services

Supplier Discovery

We start with your category, specifications, destination market, and purchasing priorities. Research then focuses on businesses whose publicly available information suggests a potential fit. Your team receives an organized shortlist with the source of available information and questions that still need answers. This gives you a useful starting point for outreach rather than an unfiltered directory of names. Supplier capabilities and suitability remain subject to direct confirmation. We help structure that conversation so your purchasing team can decide which options deserve further attention.

Practical outputs may include

  • Supplier shortlist
  • Initial screening questions
  • Research notes

OTC Product Sourcing

A focused product brief makes supplier research more productive. We help organize the information relevant to an OTC sourcing inquiry, including category, format, packaging preferences, anticipated quantities, and timing. We explore potential supplier options and collect available product information for comparison with your requirements. Any gaps are brought forward as questions for the supplier and your relevant advisers. This work supports an informed discussion; it does not establish product availability, suitability for a destination, or regulatory eligibility. Final product decisions stay with the buyer and the relevant providers.

Practical outputs may include

  • Product requirements brief
  • Potential supplier options
  • Information gap checklist

Procurement Advisory

A promising supplier conversation needs a practical decision framework. We help purchasing teams define their priorities and compare available commercial information on a consistent basis. Topics can include minimum order quantities, packaging, lead times, payment terms, and the information needed before a purchasing decision. We separate confirmed details from open questions so assumptions do not become commitments. The resulting comparison gives your team a clearer basis for discussions and internal review. Commercial terms, contracts, payments, and purchasing decisions are agreed directly between you and your selected supplier.

Practical outputs may include

  • Commercial comparison matrix
  • Purchasing priorities
  • Decision checklist

Supplier Due Diligence Support

Useful supplier evaluation begins with information that is organized and traceable. We assist with requesting and collecting available company and product documents, recording what has been provided, and identifying missing items for follow-up. We can help your team compare the scope and consistency of that information against the initial inquiry. Our support is preliminary and administrative: it is not a legal opinion, regulatory determination, audit, or certification of a supplier. Your own qualified advisers and relevant providers assess the documentation and make any required suitability or compliance determinations.

Practical outputs may include

  • Document request list
  • Document tracking matrix
  • Open questions for review

Negotiation Support

Preparation helps business discussions stay focused. We work with your team to organize commercial questions, identify priorities, and prepare a clear agenda for supplier conversations. Where useful, we coordinate meetings, summarize the points discussed, and track questions or proposed terms that need a response. Our role is to support communication and help your team maintain a clear record throughout the discussion. We do not guarantee pricing, supply, concessions, or an agreement. The buyer and supplier negotiate and approve their own commitments, with their relevant advisers involved where needed.

Practical outputs may include

  • Discussion agenda
  • Commercial question list
  • Meeting and follow-up summaries

Supplier Relationship Coordination

Supplier conversations often involve several people, documents, and decisions. We help keep those communications organized through clear requests, written follow-up, and a shared view of outstanding actions. This support can continue as your team explores a potential relationship and works through commercial questions. The aim is practical continuity: knowing what has been requested, what has been received, and who needs to act next. Buyers and suppliers remain responsible for their contracts and product operations. Our coordination focuses on communication and administrative follow-through around the sourcing discussion.

Practical outputs may include

  • Communication tracker
  • Action and follow-up list
  • Supplier discussion summaries

A clearer conversation

Good preparation makes a difference.

From an initial supplier shortlist to a more structured discussion of terms, our work gives your team information it can use. The scope is shaped around your sourcing question.

Your questions, answered.

Who do you work with?

We work with business purchasing teams, importers, and distributors exploring potential U.S. OTC healthcare suppliers. Each inquiry is reviewed for a potential advisory engagement.

What kinds of products can you review?

Our focus is nonprescription OTC healthcare products. Product classification and destination requirements need to be assessed for each inquiry. We do not accept requests for prescription medicines or controlled substances.

Do you support international buyers?

Our advisory is designed for businesses outside the United States exploring U.S. supplier opportunities. Scope depends on the product requirements, counterparties, and destination market.

Do you sell or ship the products?

Purchases and product fulfillment are arranged directly between the buyer and the selected supplier. Our role is sourcing and procurement advisory.

How does an engagement begin?

Share your category, destination market, expected quantities, and timing. We review the information and discuss whether our sourcing support is a fit for your business needs.
