About us
Who we are
With our head office in Sofia, Bulgaria and satellite office in Brussels, Belgium, we cover both Western and Eastern Europe. Additionally, we work with a specialized network of affiliated researchers, across the globe. We believe the best results are achieved by understanding local realities and adapting one’s modus operandi accordingly.
International Errands Ltd. was born in the event production sphere: a sector where time, cost and efficiency are always of the utmost importance. Throughout the years we have widened our scope, developing projects in the construction, renewable energy, military & humanitarian sectors.
What we do
We help businesses find specific, goods or services. Our clients call upon us, for a number of reasons: the sourcing territory is unknown to them, the needs are very niche, or simply because our expertise makes them save time and money. We help our customers bridge culturual and linguistic barriers, so they can more easily tap into their desired market. Our buyer-seller matchmaking efforts facilitate the international trade deals, our clients seek.
Our services are most often called upon for tender preparations, foreign construction projects needing local subcontractors, factory sourcing, overseas talent scouting, temporary supply chain management and transborder event prodction support.
How we do it
We map your sourcing needs and their deadlines. Subsequently, we set up a task-force including local experts, conduct in-depth market research and compile a report, comparing relevant suppliers or partners, and their proposals. Research is done both on-site, and through our call-center, backed by customized sourcing software. Project-specific parameters are then identified allowing for optimal negotiation leverage. Upon selection of your partner, a procurement process is initiated.
The production process is then closely monitored, by measuring KPI’s and tracking milestones. We remain by your side, co-managing the supply chain of your purchased goods and services, until completion of the project. We work with excellent forwarders to get your goods to their destination, whether it be by sea, land or air. Our support often involves field-based presence by our project managers.
