Unipos, an overseas product procurement and consulting service for research and development, receives inquiries for various products to accelerate research and development on a daily basis.
This time, we will introduce the case of quickly ordering the latest Xiaomi smartphone that has not been released in Japan.
Can't find a supplier for a product that has just been released! ?
A customer involved in semiconductor-related research and development requested us to procure Xiaomi's latest smartphone "Redmi Note 2022 Explorer", which was just released on October 10, 31.
At the time of your request, it had just been on the market, and the suppliers that we know of that handle global versions of smartphones did not have any handling information posted.
In addition, when we conducted a steady survey of suppliers using the keyword "Redmi Note 12 Explorer", we were unable to find a procurement route that could be purchased, and we were forced to review our approach.
Investigation in the local language is the key to discovering suppliers
"Explorer" included in the product name is written as "exploration version" in Chinese. Since useful information could not be found in a search using the keyword "Redmi Note 12 Explorer", when I investigated with "Redmi Note 12 explorer version" this time, I was able to confirm that there was stock on the EC site for China. .
When the information was first released, it was called "Redmi Note 12 Explorer" because the English name of "Redmi Note 12 explorer version" was unknown.However, the official English name was "Redmi Note 12 DISCOVERY EDITION", so it was not caught even if you searched for it.
We immediately conducted various surveys and confirmations assuming procurement via a local agent, and proposed a quote for the "Redmi Note 12 Explorer" to the customer.
Considering the special logistics situation unique to China, shortening the delivery time
We received an informal order from the customer in early November, but a large-scale sale due to "Single's Day" (November 11) in China is imminent, and we are a little worried about inventory shortages and logistics congestion. However, in order to reduce the cost, we proceeded with the arrangement in advance after consulting with the customer.
As a result, we were able to deliver the “Redmi Note 12 Explorer” by the date specified by the customer.
Please leave the product procurement from China to us.
In this example, we introduced "smartphone procurement", but we have many achievements in procurement agency services other than smartphones.
At our company, in addition to having staff who are familiar with Chinese language and culture, we have a wealth of know-how in procuring products from China based on our many years of experience.If you have any Chinese products that you are considering procuring, please feel free to contact us.
