Services
We at Savvy Sourcing offer the following services to our clientele:
Product Sourcing / Product Development
Product Sourcing is the basis of each and every order and proceedings. If
our sourcing is from an appropriate source, the end product would also be
as per our aspirations. We have strong rots penetrated all over for effective
sourcing, covering all the product categories for all segments of international
market. The product development becomes active once the buyer has approved
on our sourced products which are sent trough photo presentations. Product
is developed according to buyer's requirements and dispatched within the
date stipulated by the buyer. All the samples are checked before sending
so that the modifications, if any, are taken care of. We put tag with feeding
all important data required by the buyer and keeps a counter sample in their
record for all follow-up. The dispatch details are advised thereafter.
Merchandising
This involves entire execution of order from the initial to final stage,
till the shipment is on board with massive and close follow up at various
stages of production and updating buyer accordingly. Apart from this we
take care of the entire packaging to be followed for a particular order.
Normally we prefer to make it uniform for all the orders and standardize
same so that it is approved once and for all and becomes easier for buyer
too.
Factory Evaluation
Factory Audits/Evaluations are conducted to check the production capacity
and the infrastructure of the chosen vendors. This audit is increasingly
becoming important in the India context due to the linked problem of child
labour, social welfare norms, pollution problems etc. The evaluation of
the supplier's factory plays a vital role in contributing to the end product.
We make sure that the factory has adequate resources and man power to complete
the production and meet with buyer's quality standards. Thorough Audits
are conducted by Savvy's professionals to foresee the supplier's strength,
the facilities being provided to their employees so that they wok in full
swing and in turn the merchandise meet the etd date etc.
Quality Control
To be able to quality control the merchandise produced by its vendors, Savvy
Sourcing has adopted the universally acclaimed system of quality evaluation
known as the AQL (Accepted Quality Level). This system helps judge the quality
level of the produced goods by identifying and categorizing the defects.
It enables the QC to decide if the merchandise passes the acceptability
norms of the client. We believe that quality control exercise must be simultaneous
to production and is not a terminal exercise for this reason we monitor
the quality at each stage of production in all respects. Above all we cannot
control quality but can render our services to assure best quality.
Logistics
Only after receipt the "OK for shipment" from Savvy Sourcing,
the supplier is permitted to dispatch the goods.
The Logistic Department follows up the shipment once he gets the "OK
for shipment" from the QC Department. He is in regular touch (several
times a day) with the clearing and forwarding agent and gets a daily report
by fax in order to follow-up the documents required for shipping and to
monitor closely the movement of cargo. This ensures that it is put aboard
the targeted vessel and meets the deadline of the buyer. A special software
has been designed to enable a proper follow-up. We also take proper care
of the consolidation of merchandise, as buyer normally prefer to have the
merchandise consolidated from various suppliers.
The Logistic Department makes sure that all the documents required for import
are sent to the buyer in order to avoid delay in clearance of goods at destination.
Savvy Sourcing finally sends a shipping advice with all relevant details
of shipment.
Savvy Sourcing is actually an "extension" of his client and assists
him from the very initial stages to the final shipment. It takes the burden
of all the follow-up action on behalf of his client and ensures a smooth
"sailing".
