Brief and Quote

Drives the sourcing process by capturing product specifications and gathering supplier quote submissions to provide true landed cost comparison. Brief & Quote enables you to create and submit a product brief to multiple suppliers for quotation. You can easily compare quotes taking into account all estimated costs, lead times and key supplier metrics to enable you to make informed sourcing decisions.

Critical Path

Digitises complex and manual spreadsheet activity, enabling centralised product critical path management, and providing real-time, ‘single version’ visibility to all parties. Once a decision to source a product has been made, keep everything on track with Critical Path by monitoring milestones along the entire sourcing journey of a product from concept to consumer.

Frequently asked questions about EV Cargo’s Sourcing service

Can I compare quotes from suppliers in different countries of origin?

Yes, Brief & Quote can take into account the varying costs when sourcing from multiple countries of origin when calculating an indicative landed cost price, enabling you to make a fully informed decision when choosing where to place your purchase orders.

I sell a large range of goods, including furniture, household items and clothing. Can I really use just one system to track all of these disparate items along the supply chain?

Simply, yes. Critical Path is highly configurable, allowing you to define and tailor the key milestones on a Critical Path according to the Department, Product or Supplier for example.

Do you have a solution that can improve my product lead time accuracy?

Critical Path can help with this in two ways. Firstly, by tracking key milestones for live orders you are able to closely monitor progress and react as quickly as your supply chain demands, either bringing activities back on track if progress begins to slip, or allowing you to delay or re-route quantity if you need more time. Secondly, Critical Path will highlight retrospectively where bottlenecks and delays most frequently occur, enabling you to improve efficiency or adjust your lead times or route to market accordingly to ensure you receive product when you need to.
