To quickly find the required suppliers, we can start from the following three aspects:
Clear procurement objectives:
Identify the subcategories of the items you want to buy (such as chemistry? Mechanical? Electronic products, etc. ), technical requirements (such as various technical indicators, special requirements of application occasions, etc. ) and requirements (whether large or small batch, one-time procurement, project procurement or long-term procurement, flexible delivery requirements, flexible payment requirements, laws and regulations requirements, geographical requirements, etc. )
Use various channels to find.
After defining the specific requirements to be purchased, we should start to look for suppliers who are generally consistent. The traditional search channels are as follows:
Website search, such as Baidu, goole, Ali, industry portal, B2B, etc.
Trade exhibitions, trade &; Professional magazines or periodicals
Supplier self-recommendation
Relevant personnel recommendation, etc.
3. Identification and selection of suppliers
For the suppliers initially selected in the second step, check the specific information of suppliers, conduct preliminary communication with suppliers, and select several basically suitable suppliers.
Then contact potential suppliers for further communication and information confirmation (such as cooperation intention, product specific technical requirements confirmation, quotation, delivery date, etc.). ). If necessary, you can also go to the supplier's site to inspect and exchange goods, or ask the supplier to provide samples for confirmation.
In short, as a procurement, the most important thing is to find a reliable supplier for the company, whose cost performance best matches the needs of our company, and achieve long-term cooperation and win-win results.
