Services and process
Lonsher is neither an agent nor a broker. The company manages the procurement chain in full and carries accountability for the outcome — from intake of the requirement through to handover of the goods.
Six areas of responsibility
On-demand procurement
Specification analysis, identification of sources worldwide, order management and tracking through to actual delivery — including one-off items nobody holds in stock.
Price comparison
Quotations gathered from several sources in parallel, total landed cost analysed across price, freight, duty and lead time, and the bottom line presented to the client.
Import, freight and customs
Air or sea freight according to urgency and budget, customs brokerage, import file preparation, certificates of origin and logistics coordination to the destination.
Regulatory and standards
Import permits, compliance with international standards, and handling of communications equipment and hazardous materials. The company holds a valid communications equipment trade licence and a hazardous materials trade permit.
Inspection and packing
Goods are first received at Lonsher's warehouses, checked against the requirement, packed and documented — and only then dispatched to the client.
Portal and transparency
Orders, statuses and payments tracked in one place, alongside a direct channel to the team handling the account.
Four stages; client involvement is required in two
Every requirement is opened as a project file, with a review gate at each stage and full visibility for the client.
Submitting the requirement
A single email concludes the client's part at this stage.
- Item name, part number, manufacturer and quantity
- Alternatively — a written description of the need
- Urgency and target date
Research and sourcing
The substantive stage of the process, requiring no client involvement.
- A full product profile is built
- Suppliers and sources are identified worldwide
- Regulation, standards and shipping route are checked
- A lead supplier and a backup are selected
Quotation and review
Every quotation is approved by a team lead before it reaches the client.
- The item is verified against the requirement
- Suppliers are compared and risk assessed
- A detailed quotation including lead time is issued
Execution and delivery
Once the order is placed, execution is managed entirely by the company.
- Terms closed with the supplier and payment issued
- Shipping to Israel, import file and customs clearance
- Quality control, packing and documentation
- Delivery to the client's address
