NEWS
Global sourcing in times of Corona –
How is that possible?
Corona restricts many of us. Social contacts are reduced to the bare essentials. Most of us now only work in the home office. Not to mention much-needed travel. Instead, the calendars are full of telephone appointments and video conferences.
The prioritization of topics has changed. Supply chains need to be maintained and inventories replenished in order to remain halfway there. The goals have nevertheless remained the same.
Especially in times of declining sales and rising costs, profitability must be ensured. But how do you achieve this despite Corona?
Those who have a broad network or even their own employees on site and can possibly provide support at short notice are at an advantage. But what if you do not have such a network and the cost-intensive infrastructure?
Professional service providers with a global network and the technical expertise can help you to find the right local partner or to support existing partners.
A crisis always brings with it changes and opportunities.
FAQ
You are looking for new supply sources, want to benchmark existing ones or need on-site support. However, you lack the contacts, contacts who speak your language or the travel budget and expensive infrastructure abroad. In addition, SourcingPilots can take over the time-consuming sourcing of B and C parts, or help to accelerate projects with the procurement of samples and tools.
You don’t have to carry out cost-intensive or time-consuming sourcing and you always have a direct expert contact person.
Only if you wish so.
Of course – we conclude appropriate confidentiality agreements with our business partners.
We have a large pool of suppliers in China, India, Taiwan as well as in Europe.
The selection is done by the customer. We will create a pre-selection and professional decision basis for you.
No – it is up to you whether the supplier may supply you or not. With sourcing you do not enter into any acceptance obligations.
Depending on the service package, either by yourself, together or by us based on your requirements.
Mechanical parts (tool-free and tool-bound), electromechanical parts, DIN & standard parts, merchandise, consumer goods.
Furthermore prototypes and serial tools.
That depends strongly on the scope, the nature and the degree of difficulty of the product which the customer orders from us. In order to keep the sourcing process as lean and efficient as possible, the requirements for the supplier and the product are discussed in detail with the customer in advance using a checklist.
Our very lean organization gives us a clear cost advantage. Complex market analyses and upstream processes are reduced to a minimum thanks to our large pool of suppliers. We focus on the results.
Therefore we are able to offer you sourcing free of charge!
We see ourselves as independent consultants and agents. We do not receive any share of the turnover from the suppliers you select.
With successful mediation we receive a percentage share of your savings. This is calculated based on the business case and the potential savings per sourcing project. You do not take any risk!
In addition, we are happy to offer you further services at fixed conditions. The customer selects these himself and thus has full cost control and a fixed calculation basis.
