In the highly competitive global procurement landscape, it is a well-established fact that China procurement presents unmatched purchasing opportunities for businesses across the world. However, companies trying hard to deal with China directly have discovered that there are many pitfalls and the cost savings they had thought of is oftentimes nowhere in sight. In fact, they end up fighting cultural differences and communication issues in addition to many other complications which may arise while they choose China as a low cost country sourcing option.

Growing consumption and increased consumer demands are driving a more international approach to sourcing. SMEs are going further and further afield in the hunt for the lowest cost suppliers. Due to its maturity and stability, a lot of companies are using China as a foundation when low-cost country sourcing and then, depending on how big the business is, looking at other countries from there. For small or medium-sized companies China is the perfect place to start.

SMEs, in terms of procurement capability, are often at a disadvantage when compared to big multinationals. They don't have the same scale necessary to garner mass savings or, when needs must, to set up factories wherever required. SMEs, more or less, have to follow the market and more and more, the market is looking to China.

 

Excellence in sourcing & procurement requires a deeper look at internal needs, supply market capabilities and more importantly - better collaboration with suppliers. Sustainable impact is our focus and how we measure our success. Purchasing is often the most significant and easily instituted source of immediate and long-term value creation available to a corporation.

Further, experienced businessmen in China are insufficiently familiar with the Western way of conducting business and continue to follow traditional Chinese practices. Hence, it matters more to maintain a good relationship with a supplier than to draw up a detailed contract with all the latest terms and conditions in mind. These long-term relationships are also referred to as “Guanxi” and are extremely important to achieve business success.
