The main difference between trading and purchasing is that during purchasing Avidite acts on clients behalf and is not physically selling the goods, therefore Avidites liability is also limited. Supply origin like factory names, location, managment information, a.s.o are all disclosed to the client. Price negotiations take place on your behalf or in most cases direct. Avidite support focuses on sourcing, factory relationship management, goods handling, inspection and claim management. Collaboration is settled in a way of an extended purchasing department and costs do only arise in case of activity. The purchasing option is far better then hide and seek trading, because transparent information exchange build the basis for successful and collaborative business relationships based on mutual benefit.
