CASE STUDY:
Identifying suppliers for nearshoring operations from Asia to Mexico
Collaborating with the client, we identified key suppliers for the nearshoring of key commodity groups to move from Asia to Mexico.
Such analysis resulted in the client moving multiple commodities to Mexican suppliers for cost and having suppliers in the same timezone to support their operation in the US.
THE CHALLENGE
The Baja California region in Mexico gave them quick access by car and a sustainable workforce for their 90+ person cut & sew operation.
CHALLENGES
- Relatively low budget for design, implementation and marketing
- 8-week time constraint for the whole project
- Website must match existing digital corporate identity
- Website should be deeply integrated into the HubSpot solution
- Design & development from scratch is not feasible
- Customer would like to be able to edit content and structure
- Website must be implemented in three languages
- Webdesign must match modern design standards
OUR SOLUTION
Coming off an unfavorable experience with a contract manufacturer, our client prioritized the protection of their intellectual property. After analyzing different operational models to start up their project with Prodensa, our client chose the Inshoring Model. This provided them with a streamlined start up process with the application of proven best practices earned by Prodensa over nearly 40 years.
Inshoring provided our client a domestic manufacturing solution with risk-free access to the cost-benefits that Mexico provided for their manufacturing operation.
They scaled up fast, and reached the first phase of planned capacity within 6 months of beneficial building occupancy.
The Inshoring Model provided our client protection to their cash flow during the crucial ramp-up phase while allowing them to meet new contractual demands in the most agile way.
