Global Sourcing

Overview

Global sourcing can deliver big savings by identifying more cost-effective suppliers around the world. Many companies are concerned about communication, quality standards and delivery performance as they move to suppliers in low cost regions. SerCom Solutions has the infrastructure in place to allow its customers leverage the benefits of low cost sourcing while eliminating potential risks.

Our skilled and experienced personnel are positioned in strategic locations to source a broad range of commodities and finished goods from local and international suppliers. While SerCom sources some components close to customer operations, more than 80% of our commodity spend is in low cost locations. We have a team of people on the ground in Asia working with local suppliers across a range of activities from design to delivery. Our customers have gained significant cost advantage from leveraging this capability - without compromise on quality or delivery performance.

Over the past decade, we have transformed our global sourcing capability well beyond our traditional print base. Our current commodity offering encompasses: print based MarComs; electronic components; building materials such as tools & insulation; consumer electronic products; various types of packaging; and clothing. Customers attain first mover advantage by using SerCom Solutions' product design and NPI (New Product Introduction) capability to rapidly launch new products.

SerCom Solutions has high standards for its suppliers. Quality will not be compromised under any circumstance. A supplier's ability to 'do the business' is a given. Our preferred approach is to always work with suppliers who manage their cost base closely and also invest in process improvements and new product development.
