Frequently Asked Questions
Procurement is the acquisition of manufactured goods from an outside external source. Sourcing, purchasing and much more are part of a procurement strategy. It is best if the procured goods are cost effective, of good quality, and come within a timely manner. A good procurement strategy also includes shipping and logistics details.
Although our main sourcing hubs are where our largest head count is (China, Vietnam & India), we always look to have local respresentation near our clients. Communication is 80% of what we do and making sure we understand your needs allows us to deliver the right solution for you!
Given we have a range of solutions, we are well set up (and in fact have a good track record) of helping young growth companies with their sourcing needs. Where we have provided scaleable production in the past it has been transformative for our clients.
Our people are a key part of the service we deliver to our clients. We are soley focused on our client’s needs and look to deliver value in everything we do. Also, we have integrity and are accountable for what we do which is so important when doing business overseas.
We do have two main product divisions that are Industrial Products and Consumer Goods. This is mainly historical but it has allowed us to continually learn from each other. On top of the ISO 9001 accreditation that we have, certain specific processes that we implement on the industrial side are also of value when developing consumer goods and vice versa.
These are both incredibly important to us as an organisation. We have our own code of conduct that we also expect all our suppliers to sign up to. In addition, we are always looking for ways to be more sustainable against the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals both on a product level but also in how we operate and behave. We are FSC Certified as part of this focus as well.
