Featured Integrated Procurement Cases
Case 01: Facilitating a "Turn-Key" Equipment Package for a New Pharmaceutical Plant in Africa
Client Challenge:
- A client building a new plant in Africa required a complete Oral Solid Dosage (OSD) production line (from granulation to packaging) but lacked international procurement experience and expertise.
- The client sought a reliable partner capable of supplying all equipment and managing all cross-border complexities.
Our Integrated Solution:
- Holistic Layout Design: Based on their capacity and formulation needs, we proposed a complete equipment list and layout covering mixing, granulation, drying, tableting, coating, blister packing, and cartoning.
- “Turn-Key” Procurement: We acted as the purchasing agent for different equipment base on user requirement sheet.
- End-to-End Management: Provided full-process management encompassing factory audits, contract negotiation, joint FAT, international shipping, customs clearance, and on-site installation guidance.
- Unified Training: Coordinated unified English-language remote training sessions from all equipment suppliers.
Project Outcome:
- Hassle-Free Experience: The client completed the entire complex equipment procurement through a single point of contact (us).
- Quality Assured: All equipment met cGMP and international standards, passing our stringent pre-shipment inspections.
- Successful Commissioning: The project was delivered on schedule, and the plant is now successfully operational.
Case 02: Building a Complete Automatic Testing Cassette Production Line for a New Pharma Factory in Middle East
Client Challenge:
- The client is a new factory, and we provided design, material supply, and local installation services for their cleanroom and laboratory. The client faced risks such as multiple suppliers, mismatched technical interfaces, and lengthy cross-border coordination cycles.
Our Integrated Solution:
- Comprehensive Procurement: As the main coordinator, we undertook the entire procurement task for all diagnostic test kit-related products, including fully automated assembly equipment, large test plates for HCG and infectious disease testing, droppers, desiccants, blank test card holders, etc.
- Technical Integration: Our engineers liaised with various suppliers to ensure 100% compatibility of all materials (test plates, droppers, desiccants, and test cards).
- Product Sourcing: For each product, we contacted at least three suppliers, compared samples, prices, and delivery times, and selected the best supplier.
- Unified Delivery: After sampling and inspection of all products from various suppliers, we consolidated the shipments and provided single-point responsibility after-sales support.
Project Outcome:
- Time Savings: We shortened the client's procurement and coordination time by nearly four months.
- Cost Optimization: Through centralized negotiation and optimized logistics, the overall cost was 15% lower than the client's budget.
- Risk Elimination: All technical interface issues were resolved before shipment, and on-site installation and commissioning were successful on the first attempt.
