SynerTrade, Value Chain Analysis

SynerChina

“It is very clear that we should source strategic goods in China. But how do we get started without taking any quality risks?” “Nobody speaks Chinese here and my first trips in China show that their knowledge of English is limited. How do we build a strong relationship with a supplier like this?” “After very satisfactory samples and first series, we have had a few quality issues with our Chinese supplier. We definitely need someone locally to follow them up.” “We do not have the critical size to establish an International Purchasing Office in China.”

With SynerChina, SynerTrade now allows you to make the most of the opportunities offered by China while minimizing supplier risks by carrying out the following:

• 1. Sourcing and Short List.
  Search for suppliers by our specialized consultants together with our local team.
  Preparation and submission of RFQ/RFI.
  First negotiations with selected suppliers and evaluations.
  Short listing the best potential suppliers.

• 2. Audit system (first visit) & qualification assistance.
  Organization and coordination of supplier visits.
  A guide and interpreter during the entire on-site supplier visits.
  Assisted negotiation with potential suppliers to ensure the best conditions possible.

• 3. Order follow-up.
  Progress reports.
  Handling of supplier contacts (delays, changes, etc.).
  Merchandise inspection before dispatch.
  Supplier/transport agent coordination for administrative management (customs forms, certifications, licences, etc.).

• 4.Logistics management.
  Handling of supplier ex-works transportation until designated port CIF (Cost, insurance, freight).
  Optimization of logistics costs (choice of owner/transport agent, grouping, storage, transhipment, etc.).
