Sourcing solutions with added logistics

By Paul Kelly in News Posted: 17th, July, 2024

Global sourcing is particularly useful for organisations that are seeking product differentiation or want to find the most cost-effective manufacturing, however it does come with a number of challenges, particularly around communication, cost control, quality and on-time delivery.

Global Forwarding has partnered with ET2C, a comprehensive global sourcing company, to simplify access to low-cost country manufacturing territories including China, India, Vietnam and Turkey.

ET2C’s network extends to multiple markets and different types of business, with thousands of industry contacts to accelerate the global sourcing process and connect you with outstanding new suppliers.

With 20 years local knowledge and representation ET2C know the best suppliers, vendors, manufacturers and trading companies, offering simple and effective vendor communication, which ensures that everything is understood and nothing lost in translation.

From defining your business needs and developing product specifications, to supplier analysis and selection, ET2C support your tactical and strategic sourcing from the best suppliers, to the required specification and timescales.

The loss of control, particularly when it comes to product quality and safety, is usually a critical issue when outsourcing, with more than 20%  the companies that outsource their production experiencing quality problems.

However, ET2C conduct on-site audits and checks, of suppliers, with pre and post production inspections to ensure that quality always meets specified levels.

Remove the risk from your sourcing. With ET2C you are assured that the selected supplier has the market standing, capacity, price points and quality to meet your needs, before the sampling and development process leads into production.

Cost reduction is an essential element in the benefits that ET2C provide, but ineffective supply chain planning can undo these benefits, which is why Global Forwarding has partnered with ET2C, to take responsibility for shipping, hit the deadlines and protect these benefits. 

ET2C serves startups, medium to large retailers and wholesalers that are seeking quality-assured products and sourcing solutions from China, India, Vietnam and Turkey. EMAIL David Gilroy to discuss your sourcing requirements and learn more.
