Frequently Asked Questions
International sourcing is the process of identifying potential new partners and comparing them in order to obtain the best ratio of quality, price and production times. The aim of this approach is to reduce a company's purchasing costs as much as possible.
Risks include exchange rate instability, sudden changes in trade policies, geopolitical tensions and disruptions to international transport, which can lead to delays or interruptions in the supply chain.
International sourcing is aimed at a variety of companies and organisations, each with specific needs and distinct objectives: optimising production costs, gaining access to cutting-edge technologies and vast product ranges, diversifying sources of supply or strengthening their competitiveness on a global scale. This applies equally to large companies, SMEs, start-ups, distributors, retailers, etc.
The sourcing process at GPS Monaco Group consists of 5 crucial stages:
1) Together, we draw up a detailed and comprehensive specification to determine your needs.
2) Feasibility study of the request by our team of project managers.
3) Selection of the factory according to your criteria (quantities, price, technical criteria, etc.). We audit several of them according to a list of 140 points to determine the best one for your application.
4) Once the factory has been chosen, production of a mould and a 3D sample (if it's a complete product creation) or a simple sample (if the product already exists). The sample is tested by our team of quality inspectors and the results are sent to you so that you can validate it in complete transparency. If you are not satisfied with certain points, they are modified until you are completely satisfied.
Once the sample has been validated, it's time for final production. Products are tested and meticulously inspected before, during and after production to guarantee their reliability.
5) The finished product is then dispatched: the place of delivery and mode of transport are determined at your convenience. We deliver anywhere in the world and by a variety of means (sea, air, rail, road).
Cultural differences can pose challenges to international sourcing, but they are not an insurmountable obstacle. With the right understanding, effective communication and adaptation of strategies, they can even provide opportunities for innovation and improved business relationships.
At GPS Monaco Group, our team is multi-cultural.
Exchange rate fluctuations have an impact. They alter the costs of imported products, affect profit margins, complicate financial planning and influence the competitiveness of products. They can also prompt companies to adapt their choice of suppliers and implement risk management strategies to stabilise costs.
