Supporting growth when the current supplier could not keep up.
An established e-commerce business owner was seeing steady sales growth, but the existing supplier had inconsistent quality, slow communication, limited capacity, and weak follow-through.
Reviewed product requirements, current supplier pain points, target cost, packaging needs, and quality expectations. Compared alternative suppliers by capability, MOQ, lead time, quote assumptions, sample quality, and production readiness.
The client received a practical alternative supplier shortlist and a clearer comparison of cost, quality, capacity, and risk before moving away from one underperforming supplier.
