The process
The seven stages.
Every TP4 trade follows the same seven stages. Keep scrolling and the route walks you through them, from the first message to the final delivery.
-
Stage 01: Requirement
Tell us what you need.
Product, specification, quantity, destination and timing. If you are selling, the same detail about what you have. A short form is enough to start.
-
Stage 02: Discovery
Identify relevant products and market options.
TP4 reviews the requirement and looks at where the product is made, which markets supply it and what is realistic on price, volume and timing.
-
Stage 03: Matching
Connect suitable buyers and suppliers.
Buyers and suppliers are matched on specification, capacity, location and commercial fit, not just on product name.
-
Stage 04: Verification
Review relevant business and trade information.
Company details, product documents and trade history are reviewed as appropriate to the transaction, before commercial terms are agreed.
-
Stage 05: Commercial terms
Coordinate key transaction details.
Price basis, delivery terms, payment terms, inspection and documents are set out so both sides are agreeing to the same thing.
-
Stage 06: Finance + Logistics
Connect eligible financing and shipping requirements.
Where needed, the trade is connected with finance partners and with freight, port and documentation support.
-
Stage 07: Shipment + Delivery
Move the transaction toward completion.
The shipment is coordinated through loading, transit and arrival, with documents and communication kept in one place.
