lead to disaster. Imagine if you end up buying from a supplier who is using child labor or is a financially non viable and
ends up defaulting on your order. There are lots of parameters that you need to consider and validate lot of information,
even before building your “long list” of suppliers. Zycus Category Sourcing Services helps you discover suppliers based
on many criteria and parameters. Some of them are listed below.

Input Cost Analysis- FASTNERS
Another question that category managers ask
before they embark on global sourcing
projects is “How much am I really going to
save at the end of this project”. This is
because the supply chain components and
dynamics change significantly depending upon
geographical location and category. New cost
components like freight, taxes can add to the
complexity.

drivers and build an accurate Input Cost Model
