Case Studies from Our Sourcing Programmes
Method guides tell you what should work. Case studies show what actually happened: the client’s starting point, the decisions taken and the result, including the parts that went sideways first.
The accounts below span wig programmes for European buyers, World Cup merchandise for South American clients and multi factory general merchandise accounts. Names stay private, but the numbers and the lessons are reported as they occurred.
Start with these three
- Case Study: How We Cut a Client’s Costs by 25%
- How We Cut Delivery Times in Half for a European Wig Client
- From One Product to World Cup Gear: A South America Story
If you read only three: the cost case shows where a quarter of landed cost can hide, the wig case shows what halves delivery times, and the World Cup case shows how one product grows into a programme.
