Sourcing decides whether a hardware business has margin to work with. This playbook covers finding and qualifying suppliers, reading a quotation past the unit price, and building up landed cost so two quotes can actually be compared. It then works through the terms that matter more than price — payment days, minimum order quantities, carriage, returns on faulty stock and what to agree before a first order rather than after a problem.
