We have worked closely with high demanding clients since 2005. This forced us to develop a sourcing process to rely on, ensuring competitive prices, quality and on-time deliveries.
Through vetting of more than 2500 suppliers, we have 120 factories in close cooperation to safely deliver components, products, and sub-assemblies and equipment in various materials for different industries.
For both drawing-based and OEM products, we start by securing product project requirements. This often means translating standards and understanding functions.
When possible, improvements are identified and propsed to the customer.
We start by investigation our already approved vendors and whether they have the capabilities to handle the project. If not, we evaluate suppliers based on the specification according to our rigorous 4 step supplier audit process.
From this we select a short list on approved suppliers, all of whom meet customer demand on quality and offer competitive prices.
BtC handle all negotiation with the selected suppliers, to make sure competitive pricing is accompanied by high quality and other key factors. Pricing for tools and transportation is also investigated at this stage.
Ambition is to have 3 suppliers competing for each RFQ.
Our engineers work with our suppliers to secure that production is optimized and delivers the right quality.
Prototypes are produced or samples are collected to be validated by both BTC and our customer.
Production is scaled up and we develop a supply chain setup. Inspection routines are established and we optimize deliveries and stocking.
We work with your forwarder and handle administration to make shipments smooth and get to you on time.
In order to succeed in the sourcing process, we believe in close collaboration with our customers. Our clients have a point of contact both in the Stockholm Team and in the China team. We always welcome our clients to meet with their suppliers in China.
