The Challenge
Before partnering with The China Desk, the company faced several persistent issues:
No formal procurement or vendor selection process, which often resulted in subpar products.
The company struggled to manage supplier relationships remotely.
Sourcing activities were slow and costly.
Miscommunications and cultural differences complicated the company’s dealings with Chinese suppliers.
Positions Hired
China Country Manager
Acting as the company’s on-the-ground representative in China, the manager developed a robust procurement strategy tailored to the local market and built and maintains an approved vendor list. Day-to-day, they coordinate with third-party partners on exports, logistics and project delivery, and oversee high-stakes procurement projects from inception to completion.
