By far, most of Avela’s China sourcing clients are corporations that wish to improve their bottom lines by saving money by sourcing products in China. Usually, this means working directly with Chinese factories to cut out the middleman, so to speak, and to source products (and often improve upon products) that they currently buy from distributors.
While the potential cost savings are tremendous, being successful requires that a corporation partner with a company with strong relationships in China. Avela is that company. With more than a decade of experience sourcing products and services in China, Avela can offer OEM and VAR support that most companies would struggle to manage on their own. Because “The Devil is in the details,” having access to a staff on the ground in China, working on those details full-time, makes all the difference in achieving the best price, quality, and turnaround time.
The potential for companies to take advantage of China’s manufacturing resources is limitless. Many companies have increased their profitability by shifting production of their least-profitable products to China, and re-purposing their U.S. workforces to perform more-profitable tasks. While it may seem counter-intuitive, we have observed that when U.S. companies source in China, this often leads them to expand their U.S. workforces.
Is China sourcing a feasible option for your company? Simply ask yourself these questions:
- Does your company order $500,000 to $50 million in products per year?
- Are you interested in saving money by eliminating intermediary providers, and purchasing goods directly from the factory that manufactures them?
- Are you interested in re-purposing your workforce, so your employers can focus on high-profit jobs?
- Do you want to take a bold step to increase your bottom line significantly?
