Sourcing
The world is vast - not only in terms of size and population - but in availability and accessibility of product. Wherein a UK-based wholesaler may contact a European-based manufacturer, it is now quite common for that same wholesaler to ring India or China to obtain quotations for products.
However, it is not that easy if you don’t have a reliable and trustworthy contact to put you in touch with foreign manufacturers or suppliers. At Developments For Business, we have access to an international network of people who do business every day bringing goods and services into the UK, at the right price and the right quality.
Sourcing products competitively can certainly provide an increase in your profit margins and effective growth to your business.
Case Study
Developments For Business, through its international network, introduced a UK-based distributor of stainless steel components to a manufacturer in China. Drawings were provided to the manufacturer who made up samples for quality inspection prior to the bulk orders being delivered. The UK distributor maintains that the savings on importing these components will enable him to compete more effectively and thus increase both his turnover and profit margin.
