Client Objectives

Our client sought an alternative solution to their usual sourcing process which was both time and cost intensive. It required a member of their NPD team to fly to the UK, rent a car, visit numerous stores and fly back with the samples as luggage. They sought a quicker turnaround and greater reliability in sample sourcing having previously encountered challenges with availability and accuracy.

Our Solution

Confirming the required samples with our client, we deploy a number of our local trained researchers from our UK network to:

  1. Purchase the required samples.
  2. Pack and ship to the client’s facilities
