| กก | Your Presence in the Supply Market As pointed out by an Aberdeen report, presence in the supply markets is essential for a successful sourcing initiative. Simply because of the language barriers and the physical distance, sourcing from China cannot be effectively executed from the customer's internal procurement department. A typical sourcing initiative involves many steps, such as assessing supplier technical and manufacturing capabilities, supplier qualification, clear communication of product specifications to suppliers, prototype or sample testing, supplier implementation, periodic supplier audits, and relationship establishment. All these are difficult or even impossible to effectively execute without a local presence in the supply market. Larger companies choose to establish an International Purchasing Office (IPO) in China. However, the costs of running an IPO are very high and managing such a remote office is also extremely difficult. For medium to small scale purchasing, the savings often do not justify the operational costs of the IPO. Being an outsourced IPO, Cachet can operate at a small portion of the costs compared with an internal IPO. Cachet's involvement also eliminates the  long duration required for IPO set up and realize faster
cost saving. Our Strength Cachet is a technology-oriented company. The team members all have engineering background, which differentiates us from other sourcing companies. For most of our projects, we have worked very closely with the engineering teams from both the customers and the manufacturers. If a product is a complex system or assembly which requires custom made parts or subassemblies from a number of subcontractors, our engineering knowledge and technical experience is of great importance for a successful coordination and management. Acting as an engineering coordinator, we have been involved in the material selection, product design, process design, etc. Our engineering strength makes an added value to the customers. กก |
