For purchasing agents managing large orders across multiple industries, reliability and cost-effectiveness are critical. This case study details how an experienced purchasing agent simplified procurement for a multinational electronics retailer using our factory's direct-order model for custom cables and accessories.
Business Model: Purchasing agent specializing in electronics, sourcing globally
Region: USA, operating across North America and Europe
Primary Clients: Retail chains, tech distributors, online marketplaces
Challenge: Managing inconsistent cable supplies, high transportation costs, and supplier delays
Multiple suppliers with fluctuating lead times
High product cost due to middleman markups
Packaging inconsistencies and poor product labeling
We worked with the agent to source custom cables directly from our factory at a lower cost, eliminating the middleman. This led to a 25% cost reduction on bulk orders.
Our streamlined production process ensured consistent quality and faster lead times (7–14 days), allowing the agent to guarantee delivery dates to clients and manage expectations efficiently.
The cables were packaged with custom labeling, compliance certifications (CE, RoHS), and clear barcodes, making them retail-ready and simplifying logistics.
