About our company:
We are an Europen based E-commerce company with 9 private label brands. We are looking for new products for which the packaging design is not done efficiently. We then make it more efficient and this gives us a competitive advantage. For that development process, we sometimes have to change the product design, open new factory molds or need to come up with other creative solutions. When our products are developed (by you in collaboration with Chinese factory) and produced, our Supply Chain management from China to Europe works as follows: We usually have one 40ft EXW shipment per month from China to Europe that is set for a specific departure date. For this shipment, all orders from different suppliers (with production times ranging from 15-60 days) should arrive in time. All information (CI and PL) from all suppliers must be combined so the customs clearance process is easy. This entire process is not documented in the form of SOP’s yet, so we will have to create them together during the first month.
