Global Trade Desk was established out of an identified need to service clients who were seeking international trade, but without the experience, knowledge, time or skill required to trade successfully. In actual fact, many of our recent clients have sourced our services after many years of utilising traditional Australian based wholesalers. With a constant squeeze on margins, many retailers, wholesalers, developers and entrepreneurs are recognising the need to source their products/materials directly.

We have now established a considerable network of suppliers and manufacturers throughout Asia that are meeting the needs of our clients and re-establishing their gross profit margins to extremely beneficial levels. The Global Trade Desk team is a boutique operation with highly specialised skills in the areas of sourcing, evaluation, procurement, planning and negotiations.

Global Trade Desk has extensive experience in sectors such as:

Retail -   sourcing product for mid to large retailers bypassing traditional wholesale purchasing. For many mid size retailers, they have been surprised by how easy and how significant the increase in margins have been, by directly sourcing their retail products.

Wholesale – even wholesalers are approaching GTD for assistance in expanding their product base (and to source improved margins) and utilising the onground knowledge and expertise that Global Trade Desk offers.

Developers – an emerging market for GTD is the construction and development sector. A strong relationship with an excellent manufacturer of building materials including kitchens, bathrooms, cabinets, windows etc has resulted in GTD arranging significant savings for developers of multi-unit complexes. In some cases, savings in the vicinity of 50% on cost are being achieved.

Machinery & Equipment – our massive database of suppliers throughout Asia enables us to source the most unusual and sometimes ambiguous equipment or machinery that our clients may need. Businesses of all types approach us with some very challenging requirements. In all cases, within a very short period of time we are able to establish the possibility in sourcing unique equipment for our clients. From there, we are capable of managers all the elements in contracting, procurement, testing and shipping.

Many others:

There are many more examples of businesses in Australia who either need to export or import and require the professional services of a specialist like GTD in order to maximise their opportunity in the marketplace.
