Advantages

Our focus at Pacific Link is to help our supply chain partners or customers realize a true “Supply Chain Advantage” or “SCA” in global business. What SCA means and what we strive to help customers accomplish is to realize all integrated supply chain economies and gains through direct and indirect cost savings.

Many suppliers focus their supply chain approach on only the direct costs related to supply. Things such as cost of goods, delivery time, payment terms and other direct or more tangible costs are what the majority of all suppliers focus on. What many suppliers and even customers forget is that supply chain integration is more than just a directly tangible cost. Many intangible costs are forgetten and/or never mentioned such as shipment expenses, re-use of shipment materials, virtual inventory warehousing, customization of goods for diffentiation, overhead, labor, downtime, just-in-time, and the like. In addition, once we consider a global supply chain, many more intangible costs have to be considered including, international currency fluctuations, international shipment risks and communication barriers. These are just some of the items that need to factored in when considering a supply chain partner.

We at Pacific Link help customers:

* Consider global supply chain integration, not just domestic. Many of you are competing against the world so why limit your supply to local players.

* Locate global supply that fits your needs to provide your what you want, when you want and how you want.

* Negotiate through the supply chain from the origin manufacturer through the shipping carrier delivering to your door. Thus, creating the largest cost savings realizing the intangible cost gains associated with your business.

* Bring international economies of scale to your door without you having to undertake international negotiations, setting up international offices and taking on extra risks involved with global business. In turn, we are able to bring international supply to you without you leaving the seat of your desk.

Pacific Link is not a supplier. We negotiate for you, not with you, to provide you goods that fit your business model while considering all costs that a typical supplier may not. Our goal is not to offshore everything, but to realize global economies that would not normally be available for many companies.

Our mission is to aid companies in realizing global gains to increase profitability, even with a declining global economy, so that customers can continue to grow and sustain business through building a stronger core supply chain.

Please contact us so that we can explore ways to help you realize your global SCA.
