UNITED STATES OUTSOURCING COMPANY

DESCRIPTION
The Global Connection understands the world of offshore outsourcing. We have been involved in this world for 20 years. We know what works and what does not work. We have located and qualified sources for large and small companies in businesses such as Medical Instrumentation, Consumer Electronics, Irrigation, Tooling, Plastic, and Computers.
We understand global supply, both its strengths and weaknesses. We cut through the “spin” and understand that some global destinations are better for some products and not as good for others.

We understand one of the most critical elements in foreign sourcing, which is the interface between the outsourcing firm and the vendor company. If this interface is not properly defined and established in advance, problems happen.

We will tailor our services to fit the client’s needs. We can locate a high quality source for a simple component part. We can arrange the complete design, development, and manufacture of an electronic system. We can relocate an entire assembly line to a country half way around the world and make purchasing as easy as filling out a Purchase Order. How we can best be of assistance to our clients is determined by what the client wants to accomplish, where they are now in the process, and the structure and internal environment of their company

We can help you set up a complete importation system within your organization and then “just get out of the way”. Or, we can function as a turnkey sourcing division of your company. Whatever works for the client works for The Global Connection.

TERMS
Q. Why should my company consider outsourcing?
A. Outsourcing is rapidly becoming an accepted management tool for redefining the corporation. It forces managers to rethink the traditional vertically integrated form of organization. Perhaps a more flexible structure based on core competencies and long-term outside relationships.

Q. How do I know if my particular product or component is a good candidate for outsourcing?
A. This is the first part of the equation for outsourcing. The Global Connection will work with your Management, Engineering, Quality Assurance, and Purchasing to review your company structure and the product you wish to outsource. Together, we will look at all the variables and determine if your product or component will have a high chance of success and we will quantify the cost vs. savings such a move would produce.

Q. Who determines which factory will be used?
A. Our client’s guidelines usually indicate what type of factory is required to manufacture their product. The Global Connection (TGC) will then locate the most qualified factory to ensure that the client’s requirements are met.

Q. Does TGC have a minimum order quantity?
A. Yes and No. TGC does not have a fixed minimum order quantity but in order to maximize the savings on low cost items, some minimum order quantities must be established. Higher cost items will need a smaller minimum quantity to justify outsourcing as a general rule.

Q. Are Custom fees, Duties, etc. included in my Quotation?
A. TGC can structure quotations in any format that the client requests. However, normally we prepare quotations that include all charges including product cost, transportation including sea, land, or air, all custom clearance, duties, and fees. The quote you get can be compared “apples-to-apples" with a quotation from a supplier down the street.
