Challenges often faced by businesses when buying directly from China
Ensuring consistent product quality can be challenging, especially when dealing with multiple suppliers. Variations in manufacturing standards and quality control processes may result in differences in product quality.
Here at Aronui, we implore our own rigorous quality control process. From factory audit reports to concise quality control measures at each stage of production phase. By having a sourcing office based in Shenzhen, we are capable of monitoring on site at each stage of the production phase and communicate face to face with suppliers directly.
Language differences and cultural nuances can lead to miscommunications and misunderstandings. Clear and effective communication is crucial for successful transactions, from negotiating terms to conveying product specifications.
Understanding and adapting to Chinese business culture is important for long-terms business relationships. Different approaches to negotiations, decision making process, and business etiquette can influence the outcome of transactions.
Having both local and overseas staff based globally, we are able to cascade your requirements to our established network of suppliers efficiently and accurately.
We will not favour any particular supplier but rather provide you with a list of potential suppliers and let you decide which you think is best. The information we provide is completely transparent to help you feel more engaged during the entire process.
Intellectual Property rights infringement is a significant concern when sourcing products from China. Protecting your designs, trademarks, patents etc. is a must to prevent unauthorized use by suppliers.
Being a New Zealand company, we understand the importance of confidentiality, intellectual property protection & treat all the information provided to us with upmost respect. We provide suggestions & advice on how to protect your IP information, preventing information leaks.
Negotiating favourable payment terms and managing payment risks is essential. Concerns about payment security, currency fluctuations, and understanding payment terms can impact the financial aspects of importing businesses.
The essence of every business negotiation is establishing supplier side local presence. Payment security and trust concerns work both ways. Aronui being the guarantor for both you and the supplier, we ensure transfer of all funds are safe throughout the entire order procedure.
External factors such as natural disasters, geopolitical events, or global health crises can disrupt the supply chain. As proven with COVID-19, businesses need to address these potential disruptions and minimize their impact.
Being a global company, our supplier base is not limited to China alone – in the case of pandemics or natural disasters, we are able to provide options globally should your product fit.
