Sample builds
The sample your factory sends and the sample the buyer expects are not always the same. We check it before it ships.
Primary services / Sample delivery
Samples in front of the buyer, on time.
Samples built, costed and walked into Bentonville on time for the review, with the paperwork the buyer expects alongside them.
A line review is a date, not a target.
Samples that arrive late, arrive without costing, or arrive without the forms the buyer needs are the same as samples that never arrived. We build the schedule backwards from the review and work to it.
Part of the same account team, not a separate engagement. Everything below is included in the account management we already run.
- 01 Sample builds tracked from factory to Bentonville
- 02 Costing ready before the sample is shown
- 03 Line review paperwork prepared with the sample
- 04 Delivery to the buying office in person
What it covers.
The parts of sample delivery that take the time, and the ones an account quietly loses money on when nobody owns them.
Costing
The price on the sample stands up to the questions that follow it, because the costing is done first.
Line review
Forms, item data and photo fact tags go in with the sample, not a week later.
Bentonville delivery
Samples are walked in for the review, from a team that is in the buying office regularly.
The other seven.
Suppliers rarely need one of these on its own. See them together on Primary Services, or read about account management.
