Overview

A retailer buying stainless steel water bottles through a distributor had high costs and no view of production. This success story shows how Zignify Global Product Sourcing moved them to a direct factory and saved €42,000 on one order.

The Challenge

The retailer was paying €8.40 per unit through a distributor, with long lead times and no factory visibility, which made scaling risky.

Our Solution

We contacted 14 suppliers and vetted their quality certifications, production capacity and communication. Six provided competitive quotes, and we selected a reliable factory at the right price.

The Result

  • Cost Reduction: The unit cost dropped from €8.40 to €4.90, saving €3.50 per bottle.
  • Order Savings: €42,000 saved on an order of 12,000 units.
  • Shorter Lead Times: Lead times dropped and the retailer gained direct visibility into production.
