Whether you’re a business owner, purchasing manager or entrepreneur, the benefits of working with Global Source Supply can be transformative, bringing significant savings in both time and money, and allowing you to focus on business growth. Key factors to consider are:
A WORD FROM OUR CLIENTS
“Working with Global Source Supply was a revelation. We knew what we wanted, but we had no idea how to go about sourcing overseas. The Global Source Supply team stepped in and took care of everything, getting us what we needed at a huge cost reduction from our original suppliers. Our first delivery was perfect and it’s always a pleasure to make a repeat purchase.”
HOW WE WORK FOR YOU
If we tell you we’re manufacturing or product sourcing agents, you’ll get a good idea of what we do. But we strive to do a lot more …
We’re not just here to be your manufacturing or product sourcing agents; we’re here to manage the entire supply chain for you. That’s everything from sourcing the right factory to overseeing quality control. All taken care of. It’s a partnership arrangement really. Working in partnership with you and our suppliers helps us communicate your needs more effectively. And it helps us leverage better deals from factory owners who respect and trust us. Our ultimate aim is to reduce the total cost of your product purchases.
1. UNDERSTANDING YOU
We start by getting a thorough understanding of your needs. Not just the big things like price, product specification, and quality of manufacture, but all the things that are just as critical but harder to convey to suppliers: everything from your expectations of service delivery to your expectations of your product.
2. FACTORY SELECTION
We’re fortunate to have a huge contacts list of suppliers throughout China; factories with specialisms in different production processes and a vast range of capabilities. These are not just factories that do an exceptional job, and who will work hard on your behalf; they’re factories that we trust. But if we need to conduct a wider search, we will, quality auditing as we go.
3. MANUFACTURING
We have people ‘on the ground’ in China, performing ongoing quality audits and ensuring compliance with your standards – that’s one of the big benefits of working with us. You will never have to be disappointed by failed targets or faulty production runs. And you won’t even have to oversee any of the processes yourself. It’ll all be done for you.
4. FREIGHT FORWARDING
Again, you set the agenda. Products can be shipped as quickly or as cheaply as you wish. Either way, we’ll work to your deadlines. We’ll be on hand to ensure target dates are met, to guarantee that products leave the warehouse and reach their allotted shipping routes on time.
SIMPLE FEES, CLEAR VALUE
Our charge structure is transparent and straightforward – no hidden costs, no surprises – everything is clearly quoted upfront for your complete peace of mind.
At the beginning of a new project, we ask our clients to pay a small registration fee (price on application), deliverables include a spend-and-opportunity analysis report including a comprehensive landed quotation and usually counter samples. Only when you have successfully placed an order with us, do we apply a global sourcing management fee. This is charged based on a percentage of the total order value.
We’ve already established excellent working relationships with suppliers all over China, and we can leverage additional value through our insightful negotiation tactics, and economies of scale within our business. We pass these savings onto you. Result: you will benefit from fantastic rates for your products, freight forwarding and foreign exchange services. Our customers are usually easily able to offset the cost of our service against the savings we make elsewhere.
Typical rates are as follows:
| Order Value | Our Fee |
|---|---|
| £500 – £5,000 | 15 %* |
| £5,000 – £10,000 | 12 % |
| £10,000 – £25,000 | 10 % |
| £25,000 – £50,000 | 7.5 % |
| £50,000 + | 6 % |
* Please note there is a minimum global sourcing management fee of £400.00 for each order.
