EFC takes responsibility for transactions with different counterparties for non- strategic purchasing of their customers. These transactions includes: generate purchase orders, monitor orders (expediting), pick up merchandise, quality control (to avoid differences), pack and finally delivery to their warehouses according to packaging characteristics in which were ordered. This overload reduction allows our customers to focus on tasks that add more value to their management.
We search for requested products only in these cases: products are not easily locally found, representatives do not have stock to sale, delivery time offered takes too long or customer have already suppliers abroad but they need our support during the import management process. The import service includes: contact suppliers, negotiate terms, manage purchases, pay in advance, work placement internship, documentary procedures, customs clearance, quality control, and packing, to deliver products to their warehouses according to what they ordered.
All kind of industrial supplies such as: Hand and Power Tools, measurement instruments, electrical and illumination items, pipes, valves and connections, personal protection equipments, among other things (we manage a portfolio of 60,000 SKU’s).
