How TCI Sourcing Consulting Services works
We break Sourcing into two essential parts – Pre Trial Order and Post Trial Order. There are six stages in our process.
Determine the Client Requirements
We work with our client to draw up complete and detailed specification requirements for the product they are looking to source. Items covered include product specifications, quality standards, minimum order quantities, accessories, packing and packaging requirements, labelling and target pricing.
Often during this process, clients may identify a gap in their information, requiring some additional work on their side to address this issue.
We then identify the potential target producer countries to source the goods from.
Identify Suppliers
After we have completed stage 1, our team will research TCI’s 25,000 supplier contacts to identify potential suppliers who meet the client’s requirements and have the capability to produce a product to the client’s needs and demands.
We aim to provide our client with many potential suppliers to review to determine which are the most suitable.
Negotiate
Our team of trained negotiators will visit the suppliers to conduct face to face negotiations. During this process, our client can become involved in agreeing on the terms of a deal.
The objective should always be to place a trial order with the supplier. Once we are satisfied, we then place a Trial Order
Review
Once the Trial Order has been completed our team will arrange a meeting with our client to review the product they received and any issues they encountered during the ordering and delivery process.
A decision is then decided to proceed with a preferred supplier to commence producing the client’s products.
Address Issues
We will contact the supplier and review the issues and experiences learned from the trial order. Feedback from the client and the supplier will enable any issues or concerns to be addressed.
A production schedule is also discussed during this phase.
Standardised Ordering Process
Our team will implement and standardise the practices along the entire supply chain. We design quality control inspection templates and reports, purchase contacts and the export licences used to export the goods from the supplier to the client.
We will also formalise the supply chain’s logistics element with either the clients preferred provider or one of TCI’s network Logistics providers.
