Research Projects Offer Mawson Global Customers Peace of Mind

Global sourcing can provide significant cost and time saving benefits to companies, while increasing their profits and strengthening their overall business. Yet the risks and time commitment required to successfully utilise global sourcing can be overwhelming.

If your company is considering global sourcing for one or several products, you need all the facts up front – before you make a decision. Mawson Global’s research project (RP) offers the vital information your company needs to make an informed decision about global sourcing.

A research project provides a detailed analysis of global sourcing for a particular product. Projects are based on specifications, such as volumes and prices, you provide in a sourcing request document. Mawson Global then takes these specs and conducts comprehensive research on sourcing for that product, including:

Sourcing recommendations – One of the most useful components of the research project is a list of reliable potential suppliers and their locations. Mawson Global starts with 30 to 40 supplies and uses your criteria to narrow down the list to the best possible matches. This detailed and proven process is what distinguishes us from other sourcing providers, and it’s what makes us your best ally for global sourcing your products.

Estimates and ratings – The research project offers a break down of numerous estimates, by supplier, for global sourcing a product, including approximate landed cost, current cost, potential wholesale price, retail price, potential profit and savings, margin, approximate annual volume, potential annual profit, potential profit in three years, and annual import spend. It also features ratings on each supplier’s efficiency, reliability, and quality system.

Product samples – We ship several samples directly to your office for review. This saves you time and confusion in trying to request multiple samples from various suppliers and discern one sample from another.

Next steps – Mawson Global provides a detailed prospectus of the follow-up steps your company needs to take in order to maximize the information in the research project, including supplier visit and sourcing project information, and move forward with your global sourcing initiatives.

A research project is a valuable tool in determining whether global sourcing is right for a particular product, and ensuring your company maximizes the benefits of partnering with an international supplier. Mawson Global doesn’t just provide research into globally sourcing a product; we provide a full spectrum of services to assist you with the entire process – from start to finish.
