Our Process

When we say ‘supply’ we’re referring to the overall procurement process that takes your product from design to a product that’s ready for sale in the marketplace, or for use in a project (eg. thousands of units of a customised light fitting for use on a government building initiative).

The supply process has many moving parts and usually includes sourcing (see below) along with the often complex logistics of export, transportation, drop shipping and delivery of goods to a 3PL as required by your project.

SupplyWise are experts in the supply process, and we can take the headaches out of your next supply project.

When SupplyWise sources a product it means we find the right manufacturer that can produce the product that you require for your business or project. We then set up the manufacturing processes to ensure your goods are well supplied.

According to a recent survey by Deloitte 78% of global chief procurements officers (CPOs) say that reducing costs and driving operational efficiency is a top priority. In order to focus on these areas CPOs will develop a sourcing and procurement strategy.

A sourcing and procurement strategy is a long-term plan to  supply your products from a range of possible vendors at the desired price. We assess a range of options and vendors to ensure delivery of quality goods on time, and discover who will offer the best purchasing terms. Normally, a procurement strategy will depend on a number of factors like purchase timeline, the available budget, the total cost of ownership.

After a briefing session with you we’ll determine your goals and help define a successful procurement strategy to minimise any possible risks, and more.

New products require design and product specifications that are fully complete and documented. Some whitelabel products come with their own specifications which can be a great starting point and can save you time.

If you need help with the design of your product, we’ll connect you with our go-to Product Design partners hone.pd

If you’re seeking White Label products, or would like to slightly modify an existing product, SupplyWise can identify a suitable manufacturing partner to meet your product needs and establish specifications and controls to ensure quality and consistency in production.

SupplyWise works with a wide range of manufacturers in countries across the globe. Each one has different machinery, volume capability, certifications, pricing and specialities.

To ensure we select the right manufacturer for your product, we develop specific and comprehensive criteria that manufactures must meet.

Using this criteria, we identify, vet, test and verify suitable manufacturers. We then negotiate to secure your ideal factory who’ll satisfy your criteria and will produce goods that meet – and exceed – your expectations. Criteria may include: a focus on sustainability, region of manufacture, volume capacity, price and ease of communication.

We help put favourable contracts in place with manufactures to ensure your success. 

SupplyWise takes great care to make sure your best interests are taken care of, because we want to promote long term, fruitful partnerships that lead to mutual growth.

During the set-up stages of your product project, SupplyWise establishes structured Quality Control practices with your factory.

We then systematically monitor adherence to these metrics each and every time you place an order.

SupplyWise can also guide you to ensure your product and packaging satisfy standards and mandatory requirements for Australian and overseas markets 

To create a truly memorable experience for your customers it’s vital that your product, brand, and packaging speak the same design language and work in harmony. 

When these three elements work together you’ll create an emotionally engaging, total experience for your customer. Think iPhone, think Tesla... and your product.

Too often we see products fail to connect with customers because product, brand and packaging have not been considered holistically.  You may see no logo, poorly designed packaging and even broken products upon arrival.

These things are important to think about if you're looking to create successful Amazon products, or via your own channels

Our partners hone.pd can provide packaging and branding solutions that will ensure a cohesive and pleasing customer experience for your buyers – and repeat business for you.
