What Is Global Sourcing?
Global sourcing is the practice of sourcing from the global market for goods and services across geopolitical boundaries. Global sourcing often aims to exploit global efficiencies in the delivery of a product or service. These efficiencies include low cost skilled labour, low cost raw material and other economic factors like tax breaks and low trade tariffs.
The whole point of global sourcing is to find better sources of supply around the world, offering improved quality and lower prices.
We combine process and technology excellence to drive efficient and flexible procurement that global sourcing offers with its many benefits, including lower costs, faster go-to market time and a broader resource pool.
All organizations need to be deliberate and focused on their sourcing activities to succeed today and in the years ahead. Based on research, investment made to extend and/or automate the strategic sourcing process can yield significant and long-lasting benefits.
The key to success is effective collaboration, strong communication and execution, which together, can help to extend a sourcing team’s impact throughout the enterprise.
