Attires Sourcing: Services
“Attires Sourcing” procures garment orders from buyers, and places them to garment factories. Also, helps factories for sourcing the right raw materials, and maintains close monitoring to ensure quality production and timely delivery. Finally, “Attires Sourcing” does the best so that factories supply the finished goods to buyers timely and properly.
“Attires Sourcing” provides services in different phases:
Procuring Orders from Buyers:
We contact prospective buyers using various channels. Based on the communication with buyers and their order inquiries, we quote the garment price and settle orders through negotiations.
We submit garment samples based on order details and get style samples approved from the buyer.
Meantime, we receive the Letter of Credit (L/C), order sheets, and other necessary documents related to production, from the buyer. We examine the L/C and the documents at our end whether all details match with the finalized order.
Sourcing of Raw Materials:
Just after garment orders are finalized with the buyer, we source the major raw materials (Fabrics & Accessories) from the right suppliers, collect samples of each item, and get them approved by the buyer.
Also, the price of the items and their delivery dates are settled with the suppliers. We book the orders with them and they issue proforma invoices for the required quantities of goods.
Factory Booking:
Once garment orders are settled with buyers, we select the right factory for production and book their space based on the order categories, order volume, and delivery time.
Then, we transfer the L/C through the bank to the factory and also dispatch the buyer’s documents concerned with production to the factory.
We provide detailed contacts of the supplying sources for raw materials and booking sheets along with the proforma invoices to the factory.
Total monitoring for garment orders:
So far, as a buying house agent, we are done with the primary activities concerning garment buyers, garment manufacturers, and raw material suppliers.
From this stage onward, we maintain strict monitoring to successfully produce the garments as per the buyer’s requirements and ship them to the buyer timely.
Our monitoring job list:
- We take care so that the factory opens Back-to-back L/C to the raw materials suppliers timely.
- Keep continuous close contact with raw material suppliers so that they maintain the right quality and timely delivery of goods.
- Ask the factory to collect the original raw material samples from suppliers for making pre-production garment samples.
- Collecting pre-production garment samples from the factory, we send them to the buyer for approval. If there are any comments from the buyer on the submitted garment pre-production samples, we get them fixed from the factory and re-send the samples to the buyer for approval.
- Once we receive approved pre-production samples from buyers, we dispatch them to the factory to follow for bulk production of garments.
- We keep in contact with the factory whether the raw materials are in-housed timely and also take care so the quality of received goods and the quantities match with the bookings. If there are any deviations, we take necessary actions so that production and delivery of goods are not hampered.
- From time to time, we keep buyers updated about the progress. Also, we let them know the probable schedule for starting the production and delivery of the goods.
- We ask the factory to make the trim card for our check and final approval for the start of the bulk production.
- We inform the buyer of the exact date for starting production, and if the buyer wishes, they can send people for inspection of goods during production. However, from our end, we do inspect and monitor the total production processes from checking pre-production samples, and trim cards to cutting, sewing, finishing, and packing of goods.
- Our inspection team separately does the inspections in every phase of production. If there is a point in knowing the buyer’s comment on the production of goods, we instantly inform the buyer and get the necessary approvals.
- Being updated by the factory on the date for the final inspection of goods, we inform the buyer so they can send their representative for inspection. If there are any problems found during the inspection of goods, we get the factory for re-inspection and fix them.
- We ask the factory to prepare the commercial documents and make the booking with airlines/shipping lines as per the buyer’s instructions.
- Once the goods have passed the final inspection, we inform the buyer and also provide the shipment schedule received from the airlines/shipping lines.
- Based on the goods passed in the inspection, we request the buyer to issue an Inspection Certificate.
- We make sure that the factory makes the shipment as per booking and submits the bank documents timely.
- We courier the copy shipment documents and production samples to the buyer from our end.
- We ensure that the buyer releases the payments once they receive the bank documents properly.
- If there arises any problem with the payment receipt, we negotiate with the buyer for a peaceful settlement.
- During the whole period of handling any particular order from the beginning to the shipment of goods, and release of the payment, we maintain close communication with the garment buyer, raw material suppliers, and the garment factory.
- We always aim to satisfy all the parties concerned so that the running order is completed smoothly, and our business relationships further increase in the coming days.
