Two 40ft Containers: $200K in Goods, $350K+ in Australian Trade Value
Australia-wide, managed procurement
The Challenge
A developer needed to control procurement cost across a volume pipeline without flying out for every order. Single-source local supply gave no negotiating leverage and no backup, and the category mix spanned cabinetry, bathroom fittings, stone, tiles and windows. The goal was a repeatable, scalable supply line rather than a one-off purchase.
The Approach
- 01
Feasibility and category planning to build the mix for two consolidated 40ft containers
- 02
Supplier vetting and factory verification from the 30,000+ manufacturer database
- 03
Direct negotiation at volume to secure factory pricing across all categories
- 04
Compliance documentation and quality control coordinated by the CDS China team
- 05
Container consolidation, freight forwarding and Australian customs clearance
- 06
Delivery sequenced to the project program
The Result
Two 40ft containers were sourced and delivered: approximately $200K in goods carrying $350K+ in Australian trade value, a saving of $150K+. The developer came away with supplier relationships and a procurement model they can repeat across their pipeline.
