Global Sourcing Management

Whether you are sourcing for private label or branded merchandizes, your customers are relentlessly pushing for lower costs and shorter lead times. You have to find the right vendor at the best price, oversee production, manage quality and make sure the factories are compliant to your customers' requirements. On top of all this, your customers are pushing for more frequent but smaller orders, all in all translating to significantly more work for the same margin. Lastly, your customers want to know what's happening across the supply chain.

With thousands of orders to handle, hundreds (maybe thousands) of suppliers to manage across multiple countries, languages and time-zones, it is amazing how today's largely manual procedures hold everything together. Telephone, paper/fax, spreadsheet and email are still the tools of the trade. At a time when retailers are rapidly changing product mixes, pushing for more private label products on the shelf and aiming for higher inventory turns, how do you keep up?
