Cut down expenses
Outsourcing of the buying process can reduce the buying costs. Especially if the total turnover and the quantity of orders are limited, or if the buying activities only take place during a certain period.
Setting up a brand
For setting up a brand knowledge about sourcing, buying, logistics, marketing and sales is needed. Research has proven that when you ask brands about what they would do differently when they could set up their business again, they indicate they would definately choose to work together with someone who would handle the buying and production process. This to avoid a slow start, reduce costs and be able to start with the right collection. And to have the time to learn more about all aspects of the production.
Melanie (starter): "Thanks a lot for the information. I am working on it (I finally made some decisions). I experienced our meeting as very informative and useful. And I also have a action-plan now. I definitely know where to find you when I need additional advise".
New buying activities/sourcing
Many companies expand their business and focus on life-style concepts. This means they would like to offer an extra range of articles. We can set up and organize the buying process and find the right suppliers.
Temporary shortage of people
Because of illness, maternity leave or extra workload companies need a flexible buying power. Koopman-works can temporary organize the buying process, while you can focus on your core business.
Facilitating access of exporters to the European market
The textile and clothing industry is the industry to challenge poverty in developing countries. This industry is one of the first industries which can be developed even is the country has not many resources. Because of the high demands of the European customers and European regulations, some exporters are discouraged to enter the European market. Koopman-works assists exporters to enter the European market through market surveys, product development and marketing, matchmaking, communication and presentation.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Sustainable production can contribute to your Corporate Social Responsibility policy. More and more European companies would like to switch to sustainable production for ethical and commercial reasons. There are many ways of sustainable production. You can focus on the social aspects as well on the ecological aspects. Koopman-works assists you in choosing a realistic way of implementing sustainable production. We match the Koopman-works method with your wishes and obligations. And we will integrate environmental, social and economic considerations in the day-to-day buying decisions of your business.
