Why sourcing and exporting may be a good strategy for your company?

• Your domestic market is at capacity

• Your current suppliers are too expensive and not meeting your performance criteria.

• Cost advantage of global suppliers in several product industries.

• Savings may exceed 10 - 20% (in an apple-to-apple comparison)

• Increase in bottom-line positive results due to reduction in overhead, and increase in workers productivity.

What are Incoterms 2000?

Lets say your client wants you to design a new PC Tower Case.  You as an industrial designer would provide the concept designs and models that are beautiful, appealing, unique, attractive, etc.  If you go a step further, you would also provide the 3D mechanical design.  With that you will need some support on material selection, manufacturing processes, tooling cost and design, and overall product cost estimate. 

 

For example, your client might require that the finished product for a certain annual quantity should not exceed a total cost of $20 (including tooling amortization, shipping, etc).  That is where we can help provide these estimates to you or your client. 

 

Sometimes the client is not interested in manufacturing the product themselves because it might not be their core product or competency.  They want a 3rd party to actually manufacture the product.  Here, we can bid on manufacturing the product using our network of subcontractors that we developed over the years.

Agency arrangement:

The company is also engaged as a Commission Agent for a number of reputed manufacturers in Asia and USA.

Orders are procured on behalf of companies in the consumer products and electronics industry and passed on to subcontractors for execution. The company acts as the liaison, looking after the interests of both the supplier and the customer. By working as the agent, the customer gets a choice of materials at the best possible prices. It is also ensured that their requirements are supplied in time.  The supplier also deals with only one party, instead of various companies to whom it may be supplying its products. 

By dealing with the Agent, the customer and the supplier are benefited by:

• One point of contact
• Best possible prices
• Liaison at minimum cost to the customer and supplier
• Timely payment and/or execution of orders
• Complaints, if any, are sorted out by the agent, to the satisfaction of both the parties
• The cost to both parties by way of pay-out is negligible as compared with the services provided.
