Global Real Source - Your Perfect Procurement Partner

	We assess customers current spend against what is available in the global market. We will then identify suitable suppliers after considering many factors which affect the particular suppliers risk profile. Traditionally, a negotiation process will then be embarked on with strict delivery and quality benchmarks being set as prerequisites to achieve the required price. Depending on our customers needs we can then monitor the process further.

	Global companies often find it particularly useful to outsource full supply chain management of their non core procurement. In this instance, we manage the movement of raw materials, work in progress and finished goods from point of origin to point of consumption. This process includes distribution strategy as well as third party logistics and encompasses the strategic, tactical and operational issues that arise through SCM.

	From time to time a company will need short term but rapid assistance with a procurement project. By utilizing our databases and processes developed over many years, quick solutions and assistance can be offered on a project by project basis.

	New product development (NPD) is the ability to translate the innovative marketing idea into something tangible and affordable. We work closely with designers and engineers to ensure that the product developed meets with our customers procurement objectives both in terms of quality and price. NPD and existing re engineering can be time consuming work but more often than not it is both rewarding to the bottom line and to the sense of achievement felt.

	For the customers and brands we work with, quality is a non negotiable parameter.We employ in house quality control experts with wide category knowledge who work closely with suppliers to ensure the required benchmarks are being achieved during the production process. Quality standards are measured using sophisticated statistical models which will measure the products against key specifications. We also widely use third party verification whereby goods cannot be shipped without their approval of the benchmarks we set.
