Cutting Costs 30% on a 5,000-Unit Electronics Order
Client: Retail Electronics Client
The client came to us after years of working with a single supplier whose pricing had crept up steadily with no room to negotiate. They needed 5,000 units of a consumer electronics accessory, with a hard deadline six weeks out.
Our team shortlisted three factories within the client's target region based on production capacity, certifications, and past export history. Each factory was visited on-site to confirm working conditions and verify the equipment matched what was advertised.
After compiling comparative quotes, we negotiated final pricing directly in Mandarin, which alone secured a further 8% reduction versus the client's original supplier baseline. Production began within a week of contract signing.
Every unit passed through our quality inspection process before leaving the factory floor, checking for functional defects, packaging integrity, and compliance with the client's technical specifications. Two units per 100 were pulled for detailed teardown testing.
The full order shipped via sea freight, cleared customs without delay thanks to pre-prepared documentation, and arrived at the client's warehouse two weeks ahead of the original deadline — at a landed cost 30% below what they'd previously been paying.
