Rising supplier prices and supply failures are key concerns for businesses. We have the supply-side intelligence you need to shortlist vendors in global markets based on pricing, compliance, and financial stability.
Stay ahead of price risks by developing future contracts when working in foreign currencies. We can help you make profits from volatile markets using future contracts as risk mitigation instruments.
Since our experts are grounded in the social, economic, cultural, and political backdrops of various country markets, they can help you choose sourcing destinations that closely match your business profile.
Currency fluctuations have an upfront impact on sourcing costs
Unfavorable and irregular movement of exchange rates can upend supply chains. So, managing this risk is critical for globalized businesses.
There are ways global firms can beat currency fluctuations
The impact of exchange rate fluctuation cannot be eliminated altogether, but it must be tamed. Else, it can adversely affect sourcing costs. Our sourcing experts can help you step up the use of hedging and forward contracts to limit your risks by locking in exchange rates when dealing in various currencies.
Decision makers in procurement face time constraints
Many country markets are in a state of flux, and hard-pressed CPOs have sparse bandwidth to track these changes.
Staying on top of country market trends pays
Being impervious to the changes in politico-economic tracks of country markets can cost businesses on the sourcing front. Language could stand in the way of supplier relationships. It can be a bumpy rollercoaster ride, but our experts can make it a pleasant cruise with their deep understanding of these markets.
Regulatory non-compliance by suppliers has consequences
Failure to meet regulatory standards could expose a supplier to hefty penalties, and this might have a knock-on effect on business partners.
Keeping abreast of the law in each country is a bare necessity
Ignorance of the law is never a good excuse. In-depth knowledge of the government, legal, and regulatory framework in every country you operate in will always ensure your suppliers’ strictest compliance with prevailing rules. Our “Top Countries Sourcing” know-how goes further to keep your suppliers one step ahead of ever-changing regulations.
