Low Cost Country Sourcing - in detail

Sourcing from the world's most competitive suppliers.

Purchasing is one of the most important commercial disciplines to get right - but all too often companies lack either the time, the resources or the knowledge needed to make substantial cost and value improvements through global sourcing.

ADR's purchasing knowledge and global reach mean you can always deliver higher margins.

Purchasing products and services from external suppliers can often add up to 70-80 per cent of the total cost of doing business. Far more than the costs of staff, premises, equipment, sales, marketing and admin put together. But many companies are continuing to lose ground to their competitors simply because they don't have specialist knowledge of where to go for the best prices, product quality and service levels. 

And there's no room for error.  In fact, continuing to rely on your existing sources can threaten your long-term survival - so without the right purchasing expertise, maintaining and improving competitive advantage isn't merely a difficult challenge.  It can be an impossible one.
