FULL SERVICE INTEGRATION

BACKGROUND & CHALLENGES
Our client faced multiple challenges in managing established buying offices in Asia.

 

The primary challenges were: 

• High overhead costs

• Monitoring issues

• Lack of processes and quality assurance

• Uncertainty regarding CSR and safe products

​

THE SOLUTION 
REJS conducted a Due Diligence and presented a fully integrated solution, resulting in the discontinuation of the client's own buying operation in Asia, replaced by a buying operation managed by REJS.

REJS’s solution offered transparent and tailored end-to-end supply chain strategy, providing well-balanced origins and establishing a diverse supply base, all using a framework of sustainable resources, with up-to-date CSR, regulations, and processes to ensure quality control and Safe Products. Integrating REJS’s full-service solutions gave the client access to a wide range of services that provided further improvements. 

 

The Client also used complementary services that provided these improvements:

• Benchmark & KPI

• Product development

• Private label strategy

• Photo & design

 
THE RESULT
The timeline for the transition to full-capacity integration took six weeks. The integration process and operation with REJS were fully transparent throughout, which was essential to give control, cultivate understanding, and cross-functional collaboration. Ultimately it drove continuous improvement and built long-term value.

 

The integration of REJS’s full-service solutions had these immediate effects: 

• Control and transparency

• Considerable cost cut and much-improved margins

• Minimized risk for disruption

• Visibility and traceability

• Speed to market 

• Improved quality 

 

Integrating the operation with REJS has been a success story with results that far exceeded all expectations. It was possible due to very close cooperation, commitment, and willingness to change in order to excel.
