Cost-Effective Country Sourcing: A holistic procurement strategy to maximize value

The world has become more interconnected than ever before. Geographic boundaries no longer restrict your company’s options for sourcing materials, components, and essential services.

Whether you’re sourcing electronics from East Asia or fabricated metals from Latin America, KGM Strategy’s Cost-Effective Country Sourcing leverages the global market to enhance bottom-line performance while improving quality and efficiency. With extensive experience and expertise in low-cost sourcing, we offer a balanced approach that combines qualitative and quantitative analysis.

Cost is just one piece of the puzzle

Low cost is not the sole factor that defines our Cost-Effective Country Sourcing practice. Over time, we’ve observed significant variations in supplier quality. Balancing cost with quality makes a critical difference. By sharing our supplier evaluations, we’ll collaborate with you to build a network of supply chain partners that optimizes every aspect of your procurement and overall business – from material quality and craftsmanship to innovation and product design to engineering support and vendor-managed inventory programs. Through our comprehensive process, you receive a tailored global supply chain solution aligned with your strategic objectives.

“Cost is what you invest, Value is what you gain.”

Peter Drucker

Building local connections in a globalized economy

Establishing global and regional procurement hubs, as we’ve done for numerous Fortune 1000 companies, is a key part of our strategy to maintain relationships with Cost-Effective Country suppliers. We recruit and train local talent to address communication barriers and cultural differences, quickly integrating them into projects across dozens of product categories. To support this team, we embed our experts for 12-36 month rotations to implement best practices in strategy, operations, organization, and IT, ensuring you can independently manage these offices on the strong foundation we’ve built together.

Our hands-on approach to localization sets us apart from brokers and HR firms, but we do it because it’s what our clients demand – a proven method to meet their sourcing goals. By fostering personal, local relationships, we ensure that your supply chain meets your standards for quality and timeliness. With a robust global supply chain in place, your company will be well-positioned to enter new markets and emerge as a global leader in your industry, with sustainable growth for long-term success.
