TURNKEY PROCUREMENT
COMPaNY OvERviEw
Kruger Trading is a South african owned import and export
management company based in Shanghai and Hong Kong. we offer South
african businesses a buying office with a full suite of procurement
services directly at source.
as many are aware, its what you cannot see, control or keep an
eye on that is risky in importing, especially from a great
distance. Common issues with importing include trust, quality and
understanding a culture that is very different to our own. Our
outpost position here makes us a strong partner that you can rely
on to provide retail quality assurance as a trusted advisor and
virtual member of your management team.
Having worked directly with Chinese factories for many years, we
have first-hand experience of the culture, customs, business
playing field and what to look for in a reliable source. we have
extracted different products across multiple industries and
developed an improved and successful procurement methodology. as
the procurement management methodology is a checklist structure for
extraction by linear process management, we can apply it to many
products across several industries.
By understanding manufacturing procurement, the Chinese
manufacturing system and most importantly the cultural ways, we are
able to harvest the low labor rates, Government incentives, volume
raw material purchases and conditions that make up the Chinese
source.
we specialize in large volumes of ongoing supply or
installations. we consolidate from various locations through our
supply chain network to offer a delivery system anywhere into
africa.
PROCUREMENT METHOdOlOGY
Over the years we have extracted products over different
industries from a variety of different risk profile factories
across multiple locations in China. This has enabled us to observe
factory quality systems and independent inspections from
internationally renowned quality assurance companies.
Based on this, we have developed an improved proprietary
procurement management methodology that focuses on a holistic
delivery solution, not just inspections. This methodology is based
on being present, thorough and detailed across key points
throughout the procurement process in China and managing quality at
each stage with a checklist system. These points are sourcing,
samples, contract management, preproduction factory audit, post
production inspection and container loading supervision.
Successes of this methodology are attributed to having direct
relationships with suppliers and being able to monitor production
from nearby. we apply structure, standardization and streamlining
to the many processes that form the procurement and extraction
phase. Most importantly, we are able to manage quality at the
outset right to finish, placing proactive focus at the initial
stages reducing exposure to misunderstandings and assuring a safer
outcome.
when technical testing is required on chemicals, mechanics,
electrical etc., we offer a double testing system where we
accompany independent technical specialists on site to test
consignments verifying their true and fair testing. we can apply
lab testing and SaBS/CE certification assistance to many
products.

SOURCiNG TO PURCHaSE
we get asked to source just about anything. The sourcing phase
is particularly important as it sets the stage for the business
case, creates a market price based on requirement and is basically
what many build their supply and investment plan around. we offer
three stages:
STEP 1: SOURCiNG QUOTE (FREE QUOTaTiON)
Here we: verify whether the product is a direct match for the
Chinese market output capability verify manufacturing
sophistication and machinery capability is sufficient and stable
Confirm lead time MOQ Suggest a market price
STEP 2: BUYiNG QUOTE aNd diSTaNT aUdiT (R1 000 R10 000)
at this stage you have verified your own business plan according
to the market price and Sourcing Quote, allocated funds and are
ready to look at the final project plan to purchase. Here we:
Engage with three to four best factories assess the marketed
posture and risk profile of factories assess financial, legal and
quality documentation presented Communicate and agree a detailed
specification of the products assess, identify and select final raw
material combinations for products Negotiate final price based on
volumes Select the best factory and back up options based on the
requirement and project Create a project delivery plan based on
location, consolidation and extraction verify and prepare for
export permits and certificates verify South african duty and
import regulations considerations verify the HS code or
combinations thereof Sample phase is optional, but usually at this
stage
This quote is a snapshot of the transaction held at current
rates and is the reliable information that will enable you to build
your investment plan/business case and purchase order. Upon
acceptance of the quote and commencement of the project, we will go
on-site and conduct the full on-site Factory audit and inspection
(stage 3). Here we will verify what the factory has presented
above.
