Vendor Management

Our Vendor Management services improve supply chain standards, enabling you and your vendors to maintain quality relationships.

Educating your vendors
We educate your vendors on your logistics procedures to ensure products are precisely packaged, loaded and delivered. Programs are customized to your unique requirements:

Define and communicate your requirements in local language, establishing vendors’ roles and responsibilities
Ensure compliance with processes and procedures
Create open and seamless communications that link your vendors, GOG and your own operations
Promote a spirit of teamwork that drives continuous improvement throughout the entire supply chain

In the past decade, GOG has carried out vendor education programs with companies all around the world.

Monitoring production status and compliance
GOG Logistics monitors production and compliance statuses against pre-defined trip plans. We also recognize that every industry is unique. Raw materials receipts and documented sources of raw materials are critical for some, while first run quality, timeline quantities and final Quality Control (QC) inspection certificates are important to others.

Our global network and technological solutions enable you to obtain direct status updates before products depart the factory. We monitor quantities, timelines and quality before your customer spots incorrect labeling or sub-standard products. This successfully reduces costly re-work at destination or return

Provision of SOP’s and training material

Consolidation

Consolidation services from GOG open up the benefits of purchasing smaller quantities from a variety of vendors

Consolidation is more than simply filling up a container. It allows a buyer to procure a variety of products from a multitude of vendors without losing operational efficiency in the shipment process.

While sourcing from several vendors makes good economic sense, the complexities arise when attempting to balance production runs against full container quantities and sales forecasts. Overstocking just to qualify for full container discounts is no longer necessary. Our consolidation services allow the purchase of exact product amounts required to meet sales forecasts in the most economical way.

GOG will combine your goods from multiple vendors into one shipment. Acting as your single point of contact, we help eliminate lost economies of scale, management costs and extra customs requirements.

Captured under a single platform, a pipeline of information from all suppliers can be efficiently monitored. As the eyes and ears next to the production source, we verify everything from transposed Purchase Order (PO) numbers to inferior carton quality. When we know it, you know it.

Beyond multiple vendors, GOG manages your products sourced from more than one country, we:

Coordinate collection of Less than Container Load (LCL) shipments from multiple vendors in multiple countries
Arrange shipments from origin and consolidate them into Full Container Loads (FCL) at central hubs
Organize FCL shipments to final destination

Lower delivery expenses – Multiple- country loads are delivered complete, reducing the cost of customs and trucking
