How things work at TIMSCO

In addition to being a manufacturing company, we are also a company that specializes in finding manufacturers on behalf of our customers to produce the products they need to run their businesses.

We often have strong relationships and a long history of working with our suppliers, meaning they are in the ideal position to negotiate favourable terms for our clients.

We work to get our clients the best price for the required products they need and meet quality standards.

We create long-term, stable, valuable contracts and relationships with our manufacturers.

Both sides should be happy to work with us. At Timsco, we pride ourselves on creating such relationships.

We typically engage in the following activities:

Finding and evaluating right suppliers: We research and identify potential suppliers based on our client's requirements, industry expertise and market knowledge.

We will then create a database of reliable suppliers and maintain relationships with them.

In evaluating these suppliers, we will often conduct visits, interviews, and background checks to ensure the suppliers meet the client's standards.

Request for Proposal (RFP) management: We help clients create comprehensive RFPs that outline the specifications and requirements for the products or services needed.

We generally manage the entire RFP process, including sending the RFPs to potential suppliers, collecting and analysing the responses, before finally shortlisting suitable candidates.

Negotiation and contracting: We negotiate with suppliers on behalf of our clients to secure favourable terms, prices and contracts.

We utilise our industry knowledge and bargaining power to achieve the best possible agreements.

Product development: Developing your product from concept and sampling, all the way to production

Quality control and inspection: We conduct quality control checks and inspections to ensure that the products or services meet the required standards and specifications.

We inspect the manufacturing facilities, perform sample testing and implement quality assurance processes to ensure consistency and reliability.

Logistics and shipping: We handle logistics and shipping arrangements, including coordinating transportation, customs clearance and delivery to the client's location.

We usually work closely with freight forwarders, shipping companies and customs agents to ensure smooth and timely delivery.

Supply chain management: We monitor and manage the overall supply chain to optimise efficiency, minimise risks and enhance cost-effectiveness.

We track inventory levels, identify potential bottlenecks and suggest improvements in the procurement and distribution processes.
