How do we work on each service?
Find out more about how S³ Group can help you in the four main stages of the procurement process.
Supplier selection
Finding the right supplier is the first step in ensuring risk-free industrial imports. At S³ Group, we have an extensive network of manufacturers in Asia, which we continuously expand and validate to always offer the best options to each customer.
In addition, we carry out a rigorous supplier research and evaluation process, tailored to the needs and requirements of each project. We manage the network of contacts, representatives, and logistics partners to guarantee competitive and secure conditions.
If you wish to visit selected suppliers, we offer local assistance, including support in meetings, translation, negotiation, and legal advice.
We know that a mistake in selection can lead to delays, additional costs, or operational problems. That is why we offer you a structured process based on an RFQ (Request for Quotation) form that allows us to carry out an effective and personalised search.
With S³ Group, your import process begins with guarantees.
QA
Guaranteeing product quality is key to ensuring that your import process is safe and efficient. That is why at S³ Group we manage an on-site quality control programme, with a direct presence in factories and constant monitoring at every stage of the process.
What do we do for you?
✔️ Preliminary factory audit
We evaluate production capacities, facilities, human resources, and certifications.
✔️ Quality control of raw materials and initial samples
We validate quality from the outset, ensuring that production begins with guarantees.
✔️ Supervision during production
We ensure that the manufacturing process complies with the agreed standards and requirements.
✔️ Pre-shipment inspection
We carry out checks in accordance with the ANSI-ASQ Z1.4 standard, verifying the condition of the goods before shipment.
We have specialised local technicians who carry out these checks in accordance with international standards. Because at S³ Group, quality is non-negotiable: it is the basis of every sourcing operation.
Product development
In many cases, industrial importing requires more than just selecting a supplier: it involves transforming an idea or need into a real, viable, and competitive product.
At S³ Group, we have the capacity and experience to manage, together with your team and our manufacturers in Asia, complete product development processes, ensuring that every detail complies with the required standards and requirements.
What does our service include?
✔️ Review and validation of technical specifications.
✔️ Training and coordination of technical teams in Asia.
✔️ Production and supervision of prototypes.
✔️ Analysis and validation of improvement proposals.
✔️ Management of certifications and approvals.
We ensure that your product development is efficient, agile and tailored to the target market, facilitating a smooth import process with complete control from the initial phase.
Logistics management
Efficient importation does not end at the factory. That is why at S³ Group we offer a comprehensive logistics management service, ensuring the proper coordination of each operation until delivery, although we do not act as freight forwarders or directly manage transport.
Our role is key to ensuring that the logistics of your industrial import project run smoothly: we supervise and coordinate the various agents involved, facilitating the fluidity of the process and the correct execution of deadlines.
What can we do for you?
✔️ We coordinate logistics from origin to destination.
✔️ We manage shipping times and conditions.
✔️ We supervise the necessary documentation for importation.
✔️ We accompany the logistics operation with constant monitoring.
Although most operations include a maritime component, we also work with air, rail, or road transport when the needs of the operation require it.
Our goal is to ensure that your goods arrive at their destination without any surprises and with the control required by any international operation.
Real cases, real results.
This is how we turn strategy into results. Discover some of our most representative cases.
