Requirement and sourcing questions
What physical material is needed, for what use, in what approximate quantity, and by when?
Questions to discuss:
- What material and intended use can be described?
- What approximate quantity or timing is known?

One requirement · four kinds of questions
Hermes is a proposed Singapore-headquartered concierge sourcing desk for non-expert business buyers seeking help with physical spot commodities.
It is intended for business buyers who have a physical commodity requirement but do not have deep commodity-trading expertise.
It starts with a non-binding sourcing inquiry, not a market order. It is not an exchange and does not offer futures, derivatives, speculation, live prices, or autonomous trading.
In the proposed service, a human sourcing specialist would review the inquiry, clarify the requirement, and discuss whether there is a possible next step. A response time and service availability are not promised.
Submit a sourcing requestAssembled explanation
The source recommends validating the idea as a manual, request-led service. This four-step path is illustrative, not a live operating workflow.
Share what you need, its intended use, any known specifications, an approximate quantity, destination, and timing. It is acceptable not to know every detail.
A human sourcing specialist would review the inquiry, ask follow-up questions, and identify what is known, unknown, and outside the proposed starting scope.
If there may be a fit, the specialist would discuss which sourcing, verification, logistics, fulfillment, or documentation questions could be coordinated through qualified providers. No provider or service is promised.
Before any work outside this prototype, the parties would need to clarify responsibilities, commercial terms, required checks, and the applicable operating and regulatory posture.

Talk to a sourcing specialistBoundaries stay on the worktop
A request does not reserve inventory, accept a price, identify a guaranteed supplier, or guarantee quality, origin, compliance, savings, availability, or delivery.
Whether Hermes would act as principal or as an agent/arranger, and its exact licensing or exemption status, remain unresolved and require professional confirmation. The launch commodity, providers, availability, pricing, service levels, and detailed workflow also remain to be validated.
Hermes is being explored as a human-led physical-spot sourcing service. This concept does not support buying, selling, trading, payment, custody, escrow, brokerage, or derivatives transactions.
Singapore is the proposed headquarters context in the source brief. It is not evidence of a licence, exemption, operating footprint, cultural identity, or current service coverage.
The shared handoff
In the proposed service, a human sourcing specialist would review the inquiry, clarify the requirement, and discuss whether there is a possible next step. A response time and service availability are not promised.
