The negotiation with suppliers is the most important part of the entire process:
1. Price & Quality: The optimal price can fully ensure the maximization of customer benefits, besides the optimal price, product quality is even more important. Imagine even if the product is purchased at the lowest price, but the end customer has serious quality issues during use, resulting in returns, claims, and other issues. Not only it will not earn money, but also it will cause great losses. Therefore, when choosing a supplier, ProSourcing will strive for the best price for customers while ensuring quality, to make sure customers have no worries after selling.
2. MOQ - Minimum order quantity: due to production process and cost considerations, manufacturers may require a large quantity. In this case, ProSourcing will negotiate with the factory to obtain the minimum order quantity for customers within the allowable range, so that customers can appropriately reduce financial expenses and save storage space.
3. Factory Location: As we are engaged in international trade, most products are exported by sea. Therefore, whether the factory is located near the port is one of the indicators we will consider. If the factory is too far from the port, the land transportation cost will greatly increase, and it will also increase the transportation time. We will prefer factories closer to the port, which has most advantage for customers who do EXW term.
4. Readiness Date: Some large suppliers may spend long time to finish the order. In this case, ProSourcing will try best to negotiate with factory the earliest readiness date to meet the needs of customers. At the same time, although some factories have agreed a readiness date, but due to various reasons during the production process, they are unable to deliver on time, causing great trouble to customers. ProSourcing will keep in touch with the factory at any time during the production process to track production progress, to ensure the product delivery time.
5. Factory Reputation: Customers find factories through various channels, but factory's level of customer service, stable capital chain, debt risk, industry reputation, and sense of social responsibility cannot be considered. ProSourcing can evaluate and assess the reputation of factories through relevant information released by government, industry personnel's evaluation, on-site visits, and other methods to ensure the smooth progress of orders and the financial safety for customers.
Finding a suitable supplier for customers is just like helping them lay the foundation, only a solid foundation can contribute to the healthy development of customers' business.
