Our expertise allows us to offer an Offshore Supplier Management

Sourcing markets are closed to outsiders and companies need to assess the effectiveness of their supply chains.   Ultimately, there is no alternative to having local, on the ground, capability. Where it can sometimes be prohibitive to establish your own presence (legal entity), then selecting the right partner will help alleviate the risk, leverage product and operational expertise and provide the visibility that you require to manage your suppliers.

It is essential to have the ability to manage your suppliers given there is no access to these sourcing markets. You should position themselves to do this in a way that creates value rather than risking of destroying it.

For example, looking for accelerate product development and reduce sample timelines. A cost-effective would be to rely on buying office to work through sample approvals.

And also make sure you are conducting the necessary quality checks on your factories and products to mitigate the risks of buying from overseas. Identifying a problem at the factory allows for corrective action plans to be implemented, whereas shipping a ‘problem’ will only lead to greater costs.
