Our client in Europe was buying components directly from factories; 200,000 pcs per year at 2 USD per unit. The client had one full time purchaser focusing solely on Far East Purchasing and there were 20 shipment per year.
The Challenge: Client was not fully happy with their supplier network and was facing quality problems in 3% of the products. The quality problems with the components led to problems with their own assembly line.
Solution: After starting cooperation with Buying Office Asia, new factories were found and better buying prices were negotiated. The buying prices from factories were reduced by 10%. Thanks to improved quality from the new factories and Buying Office Asia’s online QC we were able to reduce the ratio of quality problems in to less than 1%. The service cost from Buying Office Asia was 15,000 USD per year – additionally there was an agreed commission of 6% based on the purchase value.

Increased efficiency in assembling.
Our North American partner was importing 7 000 products per year at an average price of 300 USD. There were 25 shipments per year and quality problems in 2.5 % of the products.
The Challenge: The biggest challenge for this client was the high variety of products that they were sourcing, and even though they had two full time European employees working on their Far East Purchasing team they were buying more than 50% of their products through buying agents and trading companies.
Solution: After starting with Buying Office Asia we were able to replace the trading companies and agents with direct factory contacts. This lead to an impressive average savings of 12% in the buying prices. Additionally we set the AQL (acceptable quality level) with the factories to less than 1.5% and followed that strictly with our in-house QC team; resulting in an average of 1.2% quality problems. The service costs from Buying Office Asia are 45 000 USD per year – additionally the agreed commission of 5% based on the purchase value. Thanks to the turn key service from Buying Office Asia, the client was able to find new roles for both of their Far East Purchasers.

Amount of goods with quality problems reduced to less than half from original.
Improved customer satisfaction.
Before Buying Office Asia, our client was buying 50,000 products per year at an average price of 30 USD. There were only 10 shipments per year and thanks to their focus on quality and own Far East Buying Office they were able to keep quality problems at a level of less than 0.5 %.
The Challenge: The biggest challenge for the client was the seasonal nature of their business and the high fixed costs (total of 290,000 USD including rent, salaries and overheads) that they had for their own buying office in China.
Solution: After couple of successful test orders the client decided to close their Chinese buying office down and to use Buying Office Asia’s services. We renegotiated the terms from the existing factory that client was super happy with, and succeeded in getting a marginal cost reduction of 1% thanks to a improved packaging solution. Since customer only needed our services during the peak seasons, our cost level was considerably lower than what they had to pay when having their own office. Our total service costs are at a level of 75 000 USD per year including merchandising, QC, etc.. Additionally there was an agreed commission of 6% based on the purchase value.
