PROCUREMENT Users of wood are often unaware of the enormous difficulties involved in procuring timber. Tradelink has procurement personnel and offices, strategically placed at source. The advantages to Tradelink's customers and suppliers cannot be over emphasised. Procurement personnel are specialists well versed in local conditions and customs. They have in depth knowledge and expertise in sourcing, grading and the preparation of hardwood products. Contract monitoring and quality control play a vital role in eliminating the enormous costs incurred when substandard timber is shipped. It minimises the risks and enables Tradelink to offer its buyers the best value for money. It is equally valuable to suppliers if quality deficiencies are identified prior to shipment to ensure that the various grades produced go to the correct markets. |
SHIPPING Tradelink management has good relations with many of the leading shipping lines. It also has a wealth of experience in arranging charter vessels, specially designed for the effective transportation of timber at favourable rates. Procurement staff monitor the loading in ports to anticipate possible problems and to keep traders informed of the latest developments. In the hardwood business, the professional organisation of freight is paramount. |
