Supplier Diversification & Landed-Cost Study

In four to six weeks we build a landed-cost model for your top categories, score your supplier base on cost, risk and resilience, and shortlist qualified alternates by country. You get a sourcing strategy with a transition plan your team can run, not a list of names.

Before you ask.
Do you find the new suppliers?
Yes, we scan the market and shortlist qualified alternates by country, then prepare the RFQ package. Your team runs the RFQ and keeps the relationships.
Do suppliers pay you anything?
No. We take no commission from suppliers, so the shortlist is built only on fit, cost and risk.
What data do you need?
Twelve months of purchase history by part and supplier, freight and duty costs, and your quality and lead-time data where you have it.
What if nearshoring to Mexico is the answer?
The study shows when it pays. If it does, the Nearshoring / Mexico Site Feasibility study takes it to a site shortlist.
