Sourcing and consolidation
Goods are inspected on receipt, then multiple line items and categories are consolidated into one order and one delivery schedule.
Capabilities
How we work
Can Goods Supply operates as a single accountable link between manufacturers and Canadian buyers. The sections below set out what that means in practice.
Sourcing and import
We source directly from domestic and international manufacturers rather than buying through intermediaries. As a registered importer operating under our own business and import/export program accounts, we control the import function internally.
That gives us direct visibility into tariff classification, landed cost and delivery timing. It also means we take responsibility for customs compliance rather than passing it along.
We maintain multiple sourcing channels within the same product categories, which reduces single-source dependency and protects continuity of supply.
Order handling
One documented workflow, regardless of size
Every order runs through the same six steps.
-
Requirement confirmation
We confirm specification, quantity, delivery location and timing in writing before proceeding.
-
Specification verification
Product specifications are verified against the stated requirement before any order is placed, which reduces substitution disputes and return cycles.
-
Sourcing and costing
We source against the confirmed specification and price on a landed-cost basis, inclusive of freight, duty and handling.
-
Inbound inspection
Goods are inspected on receipt before release to the client.
-
Consolidation
Multiple line items and categories are consolidated to a single order and delivery schedule.
-
Scheduled delivery
Delivered to specification with a complete documentation package.
Scale
From a standing order to a multi-site deployment
Routine replenishment
Structured for standing orders and recurring call-ups, with predictable turnaround and consistent unit pricing.
Bulk and project requirements
Sourcing capacity scales to the size of the order. Staged or phased delivery available for large-volume or multi-site requirements.
Custom production
Specification-matched production for printed materials, labels, signage, packaging and branded goods.
Multi-site distribution
Delivery to multiple locations under a single contract and a single point of contact.
Where the work happens
From a supplier's dock to yours
Four stages sit between a confirmed specification and a delivered order. We handle all four rather than passing any of them to a broker or a freight agent.
Customs clearance
Tariff classification, import documentation and clearance handled in our own name under our program account, not passed to a third party.
Delivery to site
Canada-wide, to the address on the order, on a date confirmed in writing before we ship. Multiple sites run under one contract.
Installation and placement
Furniture, shelving, signage and equipment assembled and placed where it is going to be used, rather than left on a dock in cartons.
Compliance and records
Records kept to the retention rules that apply
As a federally incorporated Canadian corporation, we maintain corporate, tax and import records in accordance with CBSA and CRA retention requirements. Transaction, import and contract records are retained for six years.
We are prepared to satisfy documentation, insurance, reporting and record-retention conditions attached to public sector contracts.
