The two go hand in hand. Understanding and mastering both is why we will always stand out.
Sourcing is where it all starts. Before you can manufacture, you have to find and vet suppliers. This involves finding the perfect balance between the quality of raw materials and affordability. You want to spend less to earn more; however, being too cheap, you sacrifice quality. We work with you to put an effective strategic sourcing process in place. We have connections to the most reliable, affordable, and highest quality suppliers around. We handle the ins and outs, determining lead time, pricing, minimum order quantities, as well as quality control and inventory levels. We also have you covered as far as alternative suppliers, so the supply chain is never at risk.
Procurement is the beginning of the overall supply chain. It is the process of placing purchasing orders with each of the suppliers, getting order confirmation, following up with suppliers until materials are delivered, and then ensuring the materials are paid for. Once the materials you need for manufacturing are in place, you can begin making the products you sell to others. We work with you to create a solid procurement strategy to ensure that operations never come to a halt.
