FAQs

How to ensure supplier capabilities while outsourcing sourcing & procurement?

Usually buyers suffer when they deal with suppliers without understanding their capabilities, which leads to problems. Often, suppliers accept the order and fail to deliver, which can cause serious bottlenecks in production. If no proper due diligence is carried out in the preliminary stage. We not only find the right supplier, but also continue to monitor the services to ensure all the delivery demands and standards are met. For the buyer, it is then only a matter of conducting regular reviews and insisting on remedial actions.

Will quality be compromised in the process?

This is a valid concern but misplaced because quality can be compromised even if a company does this activity in-house, if there are no inspections or quality control audit checks and balances. We are not only familiar with the products and components, but also the quality control aspect and the various inspection requirements. These constitute a part of the terms and conditions and there are checklists to follow with active participation from the client in verifying all the quality parameters at each stage.

But how to ensure that the supplier does not renege on the agreement?

Often companies take the easy way out and finalize on a deal with a supplier without entering a formal contract. We look out for these issues and help to create binding legal contracts and the necessary paperwork, which can be a difficult task for a company, given its priorities. The solution is to rely on us to help in these matters as we are not only familiar with the process & can support entering such contracts that are binding, thereby ensuring a healthy supply chain.
