Most organizations face difficulties maintaining sourcing, procurement and quality expertise across multiple categories and supplier bases. A sourcing and procurement service provider reduces the burden by providing supplier identification research, vendor analysis and the best match to meet all client requirements. With global coverage and local expertise, coupled with a vast database of vendors across Asia and the Americas, EDS International has been able to not only find the ideal supplier but also represent client interests abroad. They ensure that there is a critical eye overseeing production processes and on-time delivery of the products to the client’s front door. The company, founded in 1984, is a reliable international procurement partner with over three decades of local on-site presence in its chosen markets.

Growing concern over the US-China trade war and the Coronavirus has caused many businesses to actively seek supply chain diversification. EDS International provides the support, advice and expertise required to ensure their clients choose the right suppliers and ensures that the production is set up right the first time. As the outbreak of novel Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has paralyzed much of China for the last month, Daniel expressed his concerns related to the resulting in delays and disruptions of production, supply and distribution of global supply chains.

That is why EDS will continue to seek out alternative sourcing opportunities beyond China and building strategic partnerships with the clients on new projects around the world. The company is also working on a new, proprietary logistics center in Europe. This warehousing solution will enable inventory management and distribution within and around the EU and provide uninterrupted on-time delivery of goods to the client’s distribution centers. “With dedicated account managers, in-house engineers, designers, and sourcing experts, EDS provides a one-stop solution for supply chain management. Seamless cooperation with our sister company, PRO QC International, assures that quality is always a top priority”, highlighted Daniel.
