Global Sourcing & Supply Chain Management

  • Global Sourcing & Supply Chain Management

Our reason for being….

Having years of industry experience – we totally understand the customers plight when business is placed overseas, lead times are over 3 months and you do not know the supplier!
Will goods arrive on time? , will they be ok? , what is going on in the interim?
Today it is not only about initial pricing, it is about TCO total cost of ownership – what is the bearing on business if goods are late, what is the replacement cost, express freight costs on overall business. If goods are rejected we lose over 4-6 months by the time new product is sourced which is catastrophic for any business.

Issues:

  • Uncompetitive sources / expensive product
    Suppliers with incorrect manufacturing / sourcing background – incorrect supplier selection.
    Incorrect product – Quality defected product
    Incorrect packaging
    Non communication from supplier – non transparency in supply chain – leading to stress of goods arriving on time.
    Lack of time for customer for follow up.
    Lack of understanding of supplier.
    Lack of specific sectorial knowledge like critical OEs - automotive, oil & gas, renewables, mining etc.
    Shipping issues / handling small freights.

BUT… this can all be built – we are your BRIDGE in getting you effective pricing, qualified sources, painless, effective and seamless communication, hands eyes and ears on ground taking on your entire supply chain management & We don’t stop at that we partner in your organisations journey in implementing your growth strategy and vision.
