Many companies' orders. One negotiation with factories.

Volume at the table

Magic sees how much all the companies in the order want together and puts that volume out to tender.

A discount stops being a favor

The volume goes to five to ten factories, and the annual order goes to whoever offers the best price, quality and lead time.

Three negotiations in one deal

On the goods, on shipping as a single consignment, and on the cost of money.

Demand from independent companies pooled into one factory order

Orders from different companies that match on product, spec and timing are combined into one package. Each order stays separate.

Direct group purchasing from factories

Qualified factories receive one structured request and compete in two rounds.

Landed cost after customs clearance

Offers are brought to one number: what the goods cost on your site after customs clearance.

A bank marketplace: letters of credit, guarantees, credit, deferred payment terms

A letter of credit, bank guarantee or deferred payment terms are arranged at your bank or another bank of your choice.

Carrier tenders and control of international shipments

Carrier tender, booking, documents, customs clearance. Production and cargo are tracked by milestone.

Quality inspection, claims and factory ratings based on actual deliveries

Factory rating based on actual deliveries: who gave the price, who was late, whose batch had defects. The next tender takes this into account automatically.

Joint negotiation: your request goes to factory tender together with requests from many other companies.

Import in the same deal: a broker, a forwarder and certification are brought into the deal, with each party's role and responsibility set out in the contract.

Deferred payment terms from the bank instead of a prepayment to the factory.

One comparable number: the amount on your site after customs clearance.

Materials for the right stage of work, and less cash tied up in inventory.

A record of every purchase: a year later you can pull it up and recalculate it.

Defects

The deal provides for batch inspection before shipment. Claim documents are assembled from the deal, and the factory rating updates on the facts.

Delays

Production and cargo are tracked by milestone, delivery is planned from the work schedule, and the backup factory is known from the tender.

Money and currency

Payment terms are secured by the bank through a letter of credit or deferred payment terms. No prepayment to the factory is needed.

Swapped bank details and duplicates

Every payment is checked against the order and contract before it goes to the bank.

Construction company

Your request in a joint negotiation with factories, import in the same deal, and the bank inside the deal.

Developer with sales automation

All of the above, plus sales plans and work schedules bring purchasing to the factory earlier, and fit-out for sold apartments comes at the pooled-order price.
