3. Factory / DC Location:
Partnering with a company to advise on a new factory
location
Example 1 (looking for a factory in China):
A current customer was looking for a factory in western China to
take advantage of Chinas Go West incentives
Once Scanwell was brought in to the decision process, and because
of our Scanwell Network, we were able to advise the challenges of
the idea.
Challenges brought to their attention:
Infrastructure
Lack of options to move the cargo from ports of entry
at Shanghai & Beijing
+18 hours by truck to factory
Only passenger flights are allowed at the local
airport by the factory (largest shipment size
allowed 150 kgs)
Example 2 (looking at factory / DC locations in the US):
Whenever possible we will analyze the freight costs to a
potential location to provide the customer with further data for
their decision process.
