Supplier notes and MOQ honesty for Launch-Ready Catalogue.
Sourcing on Launch-Ready Catalogue is a written shortlist, not a folder of maybes. We log MOQ, lead time, and sample windows before anyone builds a channel plan.
Six-week cadence from shortlist to live.
For a Launch-Ready Catalogue shortlist, carton quantity sits next to MOQ from the first pass. Pallet straps, outer dimensions, and split-carton rules affect courier maths long before anyone prices a sales channel.
A Rosebank desk view can make inland supply look simpler than it is. Check load-shedding pack routines in Gauteng, then note moisture handling for Durban and Cape Town stock that will sit in coastal air before dispatch.
Marketplace habits often distort early supplier conversations. Written unit counts, measured packed weight, and the exact inner quantity keep catalogue cards usable when a seller moves from sample to listing copy.
For a Rosebank-built shortlist, use our contact form and include the category, target selling channel, and expected starting quantities. That gives us enough to screen MOQ, sample access, and lead-time risks against a Launch-Ready Catalogue plan.
For adjacent notes, see playbooks, projects, and shipping & samples. Those pages help when the sourcing card needs channel context, sample handling, or a simple fulfilment starting point.
The written sourcing layer inside Launch-Ready Catalogue gives each supplier card enough detail for handover, channel planning, and first-stock questions without rebuilding the facts from memory.
Keep the sourcing card beside the chosen channel matrix and the starter SKU worksheet. When those three documents match, MOQ, lead time, and fulfilment notes stay visible while the catalogue is being assembled.

Put a clear owner on every supplier card and every photo pack note. Staff changes, leave cycles, and shared inboxes turn unnamed records into guesswork very quickly.
Courier rejection should change the sourcing record straight away. Update carton measurements, volumetric class, or fragile handling notes on the same card so the next quote starts from the corrected pack data.
South African storage conditions belong on the SKU family line, not in a forgotten side note. Inland heat, coastal humidity, and seasonal moisture shifts can change packaging choices, sample timing, and returns risk for a starter range.

If the shortlist has a gap, send it through our contact form with the exact sticking point. A plain note about pack size, compliance doubt, or supplier silence is more useful than a long summary with no decision question.
