The Sourcing Landscape
The outsource manufacturing sector the world over is in a state of flux. This is primarily being driven through technology and is enabling the consumer to engage with retailers and brands (at one end of the supply chain) in new and innovative ways.
Flexibility is paramount
Companies are shifting from large seasonal orders to more agile, flexible buying to reduce working capital. Instead of relying solely on trend forecasts, they now react to consumer demand—reordering best-sellers in smaller volumes with shorter lead times to avoid obsolete stock and markdowns.

The importance of being on the ground
Similarly, transparency and an understanding of a product’s origin is important to today’s consumer. They want to know that the products are being made in an ethical way and any aspects around sustainability that are part of a product’s DNA. We look to promote this as we see the human side to manufacturing and it is important that the consumer understands what is involved in making their product. There are also regulatory and political challenges that arise from time to time, whether in the form of tariffs, or domestic regulations (such as the recent environmental protection initiative carried out in China).
These can impact getting a product to market on time and at the price required, which likely has a detrimental impact on margins and profitability. It means having the ability to be agile and being able to react to market conditions. It means having a deep understanding of the different markets in Asia and how to develop beneficial partnerships with your suppliers. Ultimately, it means being on the ground.The Future
