Supply Chain Management in China
Visit existing Suppliers
Maintaining a smooth cooperation with your current suppliers can be very challenging. The list of possible problems seems endless. Modern communication systems have made it much easier to solve most of these day-to-day problems. An email or a Zoom meeting can do the trick. But once relations get strained, only a personal visit to the factory in China can give you a fresh start.
Establishing a closer personal relation with your partners in China is essential. The closer you are to the people in charge of your orders, the smoother your goods will arrive. A close relation establishes trust between buyer and supplier and the results will immediately be visible. Your financial situation will improve, your headaches will fade and you will have more time to focus on the core business of your own company.
Samoy International is there to help you. We regularly go to China to visit suppliers. We can make a plan according to the needs of your company.
Building a bigger network of suppliers can be a long process. Samoy International can help you build this network. If your purchase department is too busy handling the normal day to day management of orders, the best solution is to discuss your needs with us. We can go sourcing for you and help you build your backup suppliers.
Expand your existing Supplier Network in China
If your company is heavily relying on 1 supplier for certain goods, this is not a favorable situation. The supplier will feel too comfortable and you will have to accept their business terms. Developing more suppliers is the only way to put yourself in a stronger position. If your company can choose where to place orders, you can immediately feel the balance in the buyer – supplier relation is in your favor. Your business terms are more likely to be accepted by at least 1 of the available suppliers.
