Supplier Development

On behalf of our clients, GSS leads suppliers through a development process that is integral for new and innovative products. Be it strict adherence to a phase-gate development process, or bringing a critical eye to manufacturing issues which arise during the process, GSS works to ensure that the subtleties of the product concept and design are maintained, and often improved upon, when getting suppliers ready to manufacture new products.

Supplier Management

GSS can be your presence on the ground at factories, allowing you to maintain oversight over the production process. We can oversee pilot productions runs, production ramp, and streamline the production process for greater efficiency and quality control.

Quality Control

GSS provides our TOTAL QUALITY APPROACH (TQA) in sourcing, quality audits, quality inspections & quality assurance audits, and laboratory testing. Read more about our TQA here.

We inspect manufacturers' incoming, in-line production, and outgoing quality control processes. 3rd party quality audits are performed for each order, prior to shipment from the factory. GSS can also assist with the development and documentation of quality specifications, as well as 3rd party testing labs and certifications.

Finishing, Assembly, and Packaging

Receive assessments and quotations for multiple packaging options. GSS will coordinate packaging art creation, approval, and production. Whether sourcing from one or multiple vendors, GSS coordinates both final assembly, packaging, and packing for shipping to provide clients efficiency in a retail-ready shipment of goods.

Shipping

To complete our turnkey offering, GSS can provide freight forwarding and customs clearance for each order to the location of your choice.
