Case Studies

Example #1 Client: European based multi-national client with sourcing offices in Hong Kong. Industry: Consumer electronics. Before-and-after status: Product costs prior to HG Supply Chain Services initiation were $63.29 per unit. Costs were reduced by ~30% within six weeks and continuously driven downwards. Price after six months was reduced by more than 40%.

Example #2 Client: North American small-to-medium business with high weight-per-unit products. Industry: Automotive. Before-and-after status: Per unit costs, including shipping, were reduced by almost 50%, from $147 product to $78 by the time of the first shipment.

Example #3 Client: New Zealand start-up company with high market potential products and a critical need to reduce per-unit costs to penetrate the market. Industry: Consumer electronics. Before-and-after status: Costs were reduced by ~30% within four weeks and continuously driven downwards. Per unit cost after six months was reduced by almost 70%.

Note: Supply Chain cost reductions equate to a direct increase in net profit – typically a $6 increase in sales would be required to generate the same profit growth.
