Advent of globalization has added one more dimension of complexity into Procurement. While sometimes there are clear advantages in

terms of Price but a Procurement manager focuses on the Total Cost of Ownership of any product/ service an sometimes the risks, when

simulated, makes the cost advantage go for a toss. There is no rocket science in mitigating these risks but sometimes physical presence

on the site of production or actual data recording or knowing actual business/political environment makes reaching the real information

difficult to the procurement manager. In this case, an expert is required who can make the things happen across globe. APOGEE Sourcing

Solutions & Consultancy is like those experts who have experience of managing the Procurement in global environment. Or successful

projects and happy customers can vouch for us.

When global companies make endeavour to source from vast and diverse country, India, they face some challenges and at the end, the

experience of sourcing from India seems 'not-easy'. But an expert, based in India, expert in the field of global sourcing can make the things

simple for you. Big companies have their eyes and ears across the globe and can open their sourcing office in India, but Small and Medium

sized companies, when find India sourcing not-easy, we come as support. Having experience of best practices of large conglomerate we

not only deliver you tangible results, all –ok, on-time and in-full but also take care of your societal, legal, environmental and other obliga-

tions.

Until recently, Procurement was considered as necessary but purely administrative function of any organization. Because of this Procure-

ment achievements were seldom celebrated but these days it is being considered as a strategic function and in the global business era,

Procurement has been start getting as much as attention as a function like Sales and Finance.

Success of companies like Flipkart, Amazon, Walmart is has demonstrated to the organizations that Procurement as a function has the

ability to make or break your business. The companies who have considered Procurement as strategic function are on constant growth

path. As age old Indian business saying goes that a business doesn't make money by selling at higher price (as price is determined by

market) but by sourcing effectively.

Growing companies these days focus on Total Value for Money and in this Procurement plays important role. Also these days HR and

management function of organizations have started designing altogether teams for Procurement and Purchasing.

We welcome you for an experience of sourcing from India and take advantage of the India's potential.

The success of sourcing depends on amount of resources and efforts gone into Supplier Market Research and Intelligence gathering. The reason is very simple, because organization want to take informed decision keeping all risks and rewards in mind. Every Purchaser wants to know (in minimum time) about best practices, cost structure, processes available, degree of automation in a particular region, market trend, regional availability of suppliers/ manufacturers and so many questions/ parameters like this. Most of the time, a sourcing decision is taken based on the best among the suppliers known to the organization.

APOGEE Sourcing Solutions & Consultancy can provide you the much needed Supply Market Intelligence. We can also provide you much needed resources for gathering the Procurement Intelligence in case of a tailor made research assignment.

India is diverse country in many ways, e.g. language, culture etc. These factors impact Indian manufacturing industry also.

Sometimes buyer get toknow the real capability ofthe manufacturer atlater stages.

While sourcing, the sourcing manager or buyer assumes that his/her job is over after business is awarded to the manufacturer. The real game starts when the business is awarded to a factory/ manufacturer. That is the time when practical problems come to surface and many a times these issues surprises the buyer’s team. Sometimes the level of surprise is so high that buyer then get to know the real capability of the manufacturer. On the other side, there is pressure on the buyer to complete his obligation of getting goods from supplier, on-time, in-full. The buyer goes through this anxiety during the course of development or from the time of business award till getting mass production from a manufacturer. In international business when the buyer and supplier are located far away from each other, the anxiety level increases.

Because we are present in India, near to your chosen manufacturer, we can assess the real situation. We also manage the project at manufacturer’s end to ensure all your project milestones are met and you get smooth navigation till mass production stage.

Our Project Management methodology is simple and it focuses on development of each item in Bill of Material (BOM) and also development at sub-supplier’s end. So we go 3 level down to make sure you get what you asked for, on-time & OK.

Quality isand will remain thetop most focust areafor us.

The customer is very naïve in his basic demands – Quality, Cost and Delivery. These 3 things have importance also in same sequence - Quality comes first.

We all have read that poor quality also has cost, but this multiplies in case of global sourcing and sometimes has legal/ statutory implications also. For example, scrapping of material also involve cost in some countries.

We also help manufacturer in acquiring the necessary certifications, process controls, measurable based on engineering concepts etc. The scope of quality in not only limited to product quality but it also included Raw Material quality, Packaging Quality, Documentation Quality. Logistics Service Quality and so on.

Quality Assurance

APOGEE Sourcing Solutions & Consultancy helps its clients in assuring the quality following levels.

In-process qualitywhatever is being manufactured is being processed in right and approved way. Finding the fault and corrective action during processing is beneficial as it saves lot of money and time as well.

Pre-Dispatch InspectionThis is important to prevent the outflow of defects at customer’s location. This saves customer and manufacturer from cost.

Legal/ statutory issuesSegregation the supplied lot in developed countries is sometimes too expensive to bear.

Sometimes the major problem of the buyer is that they want to source from low cost country but don’t know from where to start or don’t have time to study and make judgement about from where to start.

Because we know about Indian Manufacturing Industry so we can make knowledge based judgement and give you factual informa-tion to start your Low Cost Country Sourcing. Thus we support our clients in devising a Low Cost Country procurement Strategy.
