Today’s world is more accessible and open. Disregarding the size of the company it is possible to offer products and services around the globe which can be seen as the benefit of the internet era. Although the virtual access to a market can be achieved easily, a real market penetration often requires feet on the ground. Our clients typically represent the “hidden champions” and they are the market leaders in their industries. Great products, great people and great companies – nevertheless sometimes there are phases where additional external resources can help to focus on the core competencies.
Outsourcing is the general term which can be applied to various businesses or processes. Below are typical scenarios when our support is appreciated:
| • | Sales: You would like to test a market before eventually entering it. NxtAsia can represent your company for a limited time and initiate the first steps of a market entry – from feasibility study, potential customer search, sales talks etc. Your risks are mitigated and you still have the chance to approach an attractive market. Our experience and toolset enables a quick market assessment. |
| • | After-Sales: You create great products and are able to sell them globally. However, certain industries and customers are requiring a reliable after-sales service which is difficult to grant without local presence. NxtAsia can play this role. We are in the business of after sales services, primarily for industrial machines and production lines. For our partners we cover the steps of installation, testing and repair. |
| • | Accounting: You trust your local team but still would like a neutral party to monitor and supervise your financials. NxtAsia’s clients appreciate our business acumen as we look on financial figures not purely as accountants but as entrepreneurs. |
| • | Marketing: You have a limited budget for international campaigns and would like to enter new paths instead of the traditional way of participating in exhibitions. NxtAsia creates highly customized marketing activities within your budget. We have our advantage in utilizing cost efficient social media tools to achieve a high return in marketing investments. |
| • | Procurement: Your procurement demand is small and the volume does not justify the investment of a procurement team or you just hope for bundling opportunities with other companies. NxtAsia has carried out hundreds of sourcing and localization projects in Asia over the past two decades. We have our own quality inspectors and design engineers and we offer open-book businesses for our clients. We keep the material prices down to market level which also includes non-production material where NxtAsia collaborates with thousands of pre-audited quality suppliers. |
| • | Management: You have an unexpected demand for management resources, caused by rapid expansion or sudden leave of personnel. NxtAsia is experienced in covering management shortages from one to twelve months. If needed, we can jump in with short notice and stabilize, restructure or grow your business. |
We believe the stakeholders of a business shall run the show. Our support is meant to be temporarily, to minimize the low-value processes or to offer resources where our clients face shortages.
For all our outsourcing services we follow certain premises:
| • | Our support must be implementable in short-term |
| • | Our support must provide long-term monetary gains |
| • | Our support must include a simple, workable exit option |
