Whats the difference between an Open Sourcing System and a Closed Sourcing System?
Quite simply an Open Sourcing System gives you access to all the stock available in Japan where a Closed Sourcing System does not. This may come as a surprise but most exporters will offer you only a small fraction of what is actually available in Japan. e.g. from their own stock or just the major auctions. An Open Sourcing System gives you access to everything that is available in the Japanese Domestic Market…. From dealers, auctions – both big and small – retailers, wholesalers, recyclers, and even private sellers. This means that you can buy like an insider – just as if you lived in Japan and spoke fluent Japanese. Which gives you the most choice and the best prices. TS EXPORT has been a pioneer in offering importers from Japan an Open Sourcing System.
