Doing Business in China? Smaller companies has an advantage!
Case A: Client: 1-man band (agent). Job: Setup production of a designer item
“The reason I use Plus 7 is not to make the product cheaper. It to make sure that I don’t have to worry about anything from I place the order to delivery at my doorstep, knowing that all deadlines are kept – and that the price is reasonable”. He is an agent, and his core purpose in life is to sell all kind of home décor goods to his clients. He has extensive ‘Asia-supply chain-knowledge’ but he would rather focus on selling more quantities than lying awake at night wondering how and when to he will receive his goods – and in which quality they will be delivered. Plus 7 handles everything from design brief, to approval of sample, to production and QC – and we even help to custom clear the goods, so that the client just has to open the door and sign for delivery.
Case B: Client: Fashion Company around 60 employees, turnover 6 mil EUR. Job: Production (process-) Optimization.
“The somewhat 1,5 million EUR that Heidi found on the bottom line speaks for itself. We had never found this money ourselves – and this even by shortening the design timeline”. This company is – as many other Danish Fashion companies – family owned. They are highly experienced – and talented within design, trends and material. The Supply Chain had been driven ‘business as usual’ for far too long, when I started this project. I do not have a magic wand, but by looking at the Supply Chain from a distance – without being infected by ‘business as usual’ I was able to use my Supply Chain Skills in combination with known best practice – and a bit of logistic effectiveness to find 500.000 EUR within the 1st 6 months of the project – and in total almost 1,5 mill EUR after 1 1/2 year.
Case C: Client: Local Chamber of Commerce. Job: Motivational Speak at the General Assembly
“It was a great pleasure listening to Heidi’s inspiring speak at our General Assembly. I am sure that even though most of the delegates are experienced business people, everyone could take away learnings and insights from her highly motivational presentation.” About 150 participants listened carefully – and many of them were kind enough to ask for my card afterwards. Hope we will stay in touch and that I could help even more in the future!
